- See Less -Even though he was a seven-time All-American at the University of Wisconsin, Matt Tegenkamp never could put together a full year of consistent training or he might have been a NCAA champ multiple times. Only one year after he graduated from Wisconsin, Tegenkamp rose to the top of US distance running. After years of battling injuries, the 2006 season was a dream season for Tegenkamp as he was finally able to put in consistent training. Persistent dedication combined with lessons learned during the Wisconsin years paid off big time in 2006; Tegenkamp opened eyes not only stateside, but all over the globe. After his 13:04 for the 5,000m in Stockholm, Tegenkamp can almost taste a sub-13 minute 5,000m. He also achieved his best 3,000m finish with a 7:34?..all of these during the summer of 2006.
hope i'm wrong.
Chris derick can beat German and German can beat Chris Derick, it just depends on whoss feeling better, and where they are in there training. You cant deny Dericks win at Stanford, or Germans win at worls cross.
(FINALLLY!!! SOMEONE WHO GETS IT!!!)
What that with these guys?! They have just proved they are best in US but still if they could lead a couple of laps it would even better...
(HOPE YOU'RE A BETTER RUNNER THAN YOU ARE A WRITER.)
topper harley, i think you have no room to talk about fam.
(EASY THERE, DEAR. I'M A HUGE FAMIGLIETTI FAN. GUTS LIKE PRE. I LIKE THAT IN A RUNNER. IF HE WOULD HAVE DONE THE 59 IN THE 7th LAP, THAT REALLY WOULD HAVE SHOOK THINGS UP.
STOP LOOKING FOR THINGS THAT JUST AREN'T THERE.
ALTHOUGH BEING ORIGINALLY FROM ILLINOIS, LIKE JAGER, I'M KIND OF HOPING THAT HE DOESN'T GET THE TIME SO FAM WILL GO!)
solinsky too mush bro hug lol.
I read this all the time about runners who just sit and kick here.
Derrick would still beat Fernandez
Derrick about 11 hours ago.
CD would have beat German had he been in here
(DID YOU GIRLS SAY THE SAME THING BEFORE THE US JR X-C AND THE WORLDS JR X-C THIS YEAR?)
So it means US won't get any medal in Berlin 5k since the africans are running sub 13 these days and still closing in 53's the last lap!?
(AND THAT'S JUST THEIR JR'S!!!)
Chris Derrick ran 13:28 a few months ago. He couldn't drop 3or 4 seconds? Especially in a race like this?
(BY THE WAY, WHERE WAS DERRICK? IF HE WAS IN THE RACE AND GERMAN WASN'T, YOU WOULD HAVE CALLED HIM A TOOL FOR NOT RACING DERRICK.
WHERE'S MEADE? HE RAN 13:28 AT STANFORD. AND THE GUY FROM ARIZONA STATE WHOM EARLIER RAN A 13:27 GETS SMOKED AT NCAA'S AND HERE!)
1. tegenkamp (sp)
2. fam
3. german

(HE RAN 13:29)
59 seconds first 400... fam is so awesome!
(TOO BAD THAT THERE WERE 11 MORE LAPS TO RUN.)
I've been loading this for 15 minutes and it barely moved, now trying again
for 10 minutes and it's loaded about 1 minute of the video. There is not any
problem with any other site than flotrack, and I have a new fast computer!
It would be nice to see the videos. Please work out the problems with your site.
Just like last night's race, we'll never know if CD would have beaten German.
Maybe Chris goes with the leaders for the first 6-7 laps. If he did, he probably wouldn't have enough left towards the end.
All I know is that for the next 3 college years, we're all going to see some great racing. And you add Luke from Oregon in the mix, as well...
Enjoy it while you can!
I wish I had the sack to race like that
