I'm not putting down your track season trainning... I'm just saying if you work in the offseason then things can only be better.

 

I felt really bad at state. I went out so much slower than I usually do and things just kept falling apart. I had no energy. Every time I told myself, "Your okay. Just start making the move now." I would pass 5 guys and give it right back up.

I also almost had a SEI the night before. I fell while running in downtown Nashville and ended up screwing my ankle and foot up so bad I had to have help walking. Only an overdose of pain medication and ice was able to keep me going.

Our #1 and I like running together during the races. I usually go out faster and he keeps an eye on me and uses me to catch up and etc. We were going to go all the way together at state, however, he felt sick and it slowed me down the first mile, which then took at least 20 seconds of my time that I couldn't regain.

 

Those are my excuses. It was a bad race. but if you want to have a laugh. look at the TN Classic results for the small schools race. Look from place 100-110 and you'll find my name. I couldn't breathe that day.

So you are pretty much saying you had terrible races every race except for your 16:43? Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. And i also think it's funny how you are now blaming a teammate for your slow time. You are not that good. I respect that you have goals, but at least be realistic about them. And don't make excuses for running a fast time on a short course.

I ran on major hill courses. Baylor was the first course that was actually flat we ran all season. And baylor wasn't just flat. It was downhill, then uphill for 3/4... so uphill that you don't feel a thing.

 

Baylor is about the length that steeplechase was before they lengthened it.

As much as the hills help me on a course like baylor, I hope the Chatt. area league will be on some more courses next year. the league ran 1 race at the dam, 1 at riverpark (all flat), and 1 at baylor before optimist. We didn't race with the leauge this year opting to go to invites and do hilly courses.

 

and you can say I'm blamming my teammate. I don't care. He doesn't care. We both know that we both hindered each other during the race.

 

Am I saying that we would've won state? No. FRA ran too good of a race for us to win if we had a good day.

 

 

For next year: I feel that a 16:00-16:15 is going to be too slow. If the frontrunners train hard and stay healthy, I don't see any reason why we can't have 3 guys under 16 minutes.

 

I'm ending this discussion right now. So my last words are good luck to everyone as we all train for track and for cross country next year. I hope to see you guys at invitationals around the area. The cross country forum will be closed in about 1 1/2 weeks or so or whenever the HS football forum is closed. My hope for the track forum is that there isn't as much argueing and virtual fighting and we can have actually civilized discussion about the great sport of Track and Field. Train hard and run strong!

My final post in this forum. Only 1 a/aa guy broke 16 on steeple this year so i dont think there will be three next year. Trent ur too harsh, jj ur too cocky, seminoles is somewhat neutral, coniglio makes too many excuses, crippler always brings up track bc his cc team blows, drew doesnt like coniglio, xcmiler talks too big and cant back it up. I think that is about all...what a year

I thought that was you're last post..?? but anyways yall need to stop raggin on everyone...especially coniglio i mean i dont care if yall say hes makin axcuses or w/e....do be a freshman and be in the 16's is pretty darn good.

 

 

Ur one to talk. you talk as much smack as jaynes. Only he can bc he won state. Im not raggin im just tellin what i think. I respect coniglio and his accomplishments but i dont like how people make excuses. I dont wanna hear about how u fell before the race or how u were sick. Just accept the fact that you cant have the best race of your life everytime u run. Dont make excuses just say u didnt run well.

I can understand that.....but the only time ive talked smack on here is when i was talkin about jaynes....ive never tried to get on here and tell everyone how awsome i am or anything like that but anyways i can see what you're sayin about makin excuses and i dont like it when ppl make excuses either but im not going to say anything to coniglio about it because for 1 how am i supposed to kno about it anyways im not sure if that course is short or not but i have heard that its one of the tougher courses and 2 im not gona say anything to a freshman that has done as much as he has.

    • Lol! I was being a bit facetious. 
    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.        
    • If you think McKenzie could've beat Riverside I have a bridge you might like to buy. 
    • Hate to hear Ricky is heading to the old folk's home!
    • By recruiting, I mean members of a coaching staff are talking to, meeting with, giving tours, to students, and their guardians, that are not zoned for their school.    there’s no way that many non Bearden kids just showed up all at once without being recruited. It can’t be a coincidence that all those kids also went through the middle school all star game your boss puts on every year.
