These top guys are too good to be eliminated in a prelim. Certainly some of the guys around 13:40-50 won't make the final, but guys like German, CD, Mead and obviously Rupp are not gonna get outkicked for the final spot in a slow race. They're just too good.

It quite possibly could be the deepest 5000 field in years at NCAAs. I will be eagerly awaiting this race at nationals...sorry...nashies. The typical problem with the 5000 is that there is a prelim. And because one heat goes too slow or some bad strategic moves, someone who's dropped a huge time this year will get left out of the final. But then, we can't really have 40 guys line up for a one-shot final...can we? Wait, can we?! That would be awesome.

Mead runs nice and relaxed, but I think his coach should maybe help him work on that side-to-side upper body motion -- it wastes precious energy.

Nice Fu Manchu and what a race, I do feel that German was undertrained coming off the Worlds x.c. he must of taken time off for his foot. I heard he only had two solid weeks after the worlds. It will be a fine NCAA meet-to see.

This was an awesome race with so many athletes running incredible times. I was suprised to see Fernandez stay back as long as he did, but it paid off. Can't wait to see the National meet!

Tasty Race of the Week (May 4)

This week's tasty race comes from the 2009 Payton Jordan Cardinal Invite. Stanford's Chris Derrick and Oklahoma State's German Fernandez headlined the story with the talk of taking down the American Junior record. As the race unfolded Derrick made a strong move, German began to fade. The an unexpected Hassan Mead took the lead and never looked back. German started to come back but Mead, Derrick, and Jager were too strong. Jager moved past Derrick just before the line for second, but Derrick still held on for a new American Junior Record at 13:29. Mead's time is now the third fastest in the NCAA and Jager's 13:28 was a pretty nice debut. Bottom line, the US has some great young talent!! Good news for the years to come....
