#15	Distance Fan October 19 at 8:53pm It's funny that these distance coaches try sprinting the first 40-60 push ups and then struggle to finish 100. What happened to pacing yourself? reply
#14	Wv Native October 19 at 8:51pm My Bad. 2:41 on the dot. reply
#13	Wv Native October 19 at 8:50pm haha i love this. my buddy isnt a coach and never been a runner but he was watching this with me and decided to do it and got 2:44 on the dot. Keep it up Coaches! reply
#12	Anonymous Coward October 19 at 8:16pm When I was in the Army we would have matches with the Marines. The Marines would do pushups like Layne Anderson did his, which is way easier. But we would do ours like Santos did, well at least the first 50 or 60. It's harder, but it's the correct way to do them. Nice job Santos. I could do 84 in 2 minutes at Basic. Never tried to keep going after 2 minutes. reply
#11	Anonymous Coward October 19 at 8:12pm more impressive than Layne Anderson reply
#10	Whoa October 19 at 7:51pm You knock Layne, I knock your grammar. I believe it should be..."Much better technique THAN Layne Anderson. Yeah, that's what's up. reply
#9	Old Ref October 19 at 7:42pm His first 40 were super clean. Nice job! reply
#8	Anonymous Coward October 19 at 7:10pm So funny how XC guys can't do 100 in one shot....They might need to make pushups part of their warmup reply
#7	Awesome :o) October 19 at 6:30pm Poor guy's not going to be able to use his arms for 2 days!! reply
#6	Ryan Sheridan October 19 at 6:29pm woooooooooooooooooooooooo ric reply
#5	Anthony Nuccio October 19 at 5:52pm Jeez he went out way too fast haha. reply
#4	Anonymous Coward October 19 at 5:26pm Much better technique then Layne Anderson reply
#3	Matt Avery October 19 at 5:09pm JOE PARKS reply

Iona's Ricardo Santos and The Pushup Challenge

Another coach has stepped up to the challenge. Iona's Ricardo Santos decided to take on the task and motivate his squad with the 100 Pushup Challenge while in Terre Haute. Some coaches are definitely a little wary, but I think we'll have some great competition to come!

Standings Before Ricardo:
- Ryan Fenton, 5:31 - Layne Anderson, 2:44
