what year is that picture from? that was just one race, tallon. none of the mlk guys ran close to their PRs. the 1,2,3 finish is VERY possible. dont get me wrong. i certainly hope not. wont give the rest of us much of a chance. but its a definite possibility. no denying.

no. i did not forget to look at the results. mlk will go 1,2,3. i will put 10 schrute bucks it. (thats from the office guys)

a barefoot 1:58 on steeple? looks like he's gonna have no competition. sorry, Brandon

yikes. what does that convert to? 1:48 on a track?

that'd be quite a drop from wassermans 2:01 at state last year. there are not many sub 17 minute cross country runners that go sub 2 as well. mahaney is too modest. i think it would not be too bold to predict him taking the triple. in any case, the distance events will be strong this year and a whole lot of... fun.

who said they won't break 2? Mahaney or Wasserman? What did you run in the 800 last year, Coniglio? Approach 2 minutes? And I certainly expect you to give Mahaney a run for his money in the 1 and the 2.

Thats pretty fast /dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=" But if Mahaney is going to concede now, maybe he will win it. 16 and 32 i'll give to Mahaney with Cole and Coniglio duking it out for second

is it time to start making 8,16, and 32 predictions? /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> XC 2009 prediction: MLK to win it and to go 1,2,3 individually.

you will have to forgive me. contrary to my last post, the mlk 4 has not broken 17:20 at steeple but run exactly 17:20 on steeple. Jonathan Gilbreath 2007-10-06 17:47.49 Brooks Memphis Twilight Classic 2007-11-03 17:55.98 TSSAA State Cross Country Championship 2008-09-06 17:14.12 PR Chickasaw Trails Invite 2008-09-20 17:28.81 Tennessee Classic 2008-10-16 17:20.36 Nashville Metro Championships 2008-10-23 17:57.07 Region 5 A-AA pretty inconsistent but a huge threat if he can match his chickasaw time or even beat it.

That 4th guy from MLK has also run sub 17:20 on steeple. region may have been a bad day for him. id count on a much smaller gap between MLKs 3 and 4 come state- and if that happens, there is not much that could stop them.

any results from any of the regions?

everyone seems to agree mlk is the favorite. if it were up to the top 4, mlk would be a sure win. problem is they go from having a 16:40-17:20 spread with their top 4, to having a 16:40-18:40 spread. in previous years an 18:40 could be anywhere from 30-40, to 70-80 points. their weak 5th man could be the difference between 1st place and being somewhere else in the top 3 or 4. pretty much all of the contenders are relying on their 5th man to win it for them.
