Not so fast...Bumbi doesn't own everyone in TN, at least not for the moment. James Strang from Baylor pulls off the shocker at Foot Locker South regions finishing 3rd, and about 5 or 6 seconds ahead of the previously mentioned Bumbi who finished 5th. More importantly for both of them, they are both going to San Diego to run in the 32-person national finals field.

And even though the course in Charlotte is absurdly fast (maybe even short), both of these guys went under 15 today...for 5K. Maybe we did get a 4:30 split you guys were joking about :D

Wonder if Bumbi will return the favor on him at finals...will be interesting. I know this board is loaded w/ Chattanooga area people...did anybody see this coming out of Strang? No one seemed to have any perception that this was getting ready to happen.

Coach Townsend here...

Yes, James' race was a breakthrough, but his last month has been one as well. Remember, it takes years -winters and summers- to lay the foundations for these performances. James' iron was probably low all through track season, but we just got a handle on the problem this September. He has had a single-minded, grimly determined focus from even back to his freshman year.

According to the Tennessean, Bumbi lightly injured his knee a week before the race and missed a day of training. That may be the cause of his lapse. Still, congrats to both Andrew and to James Strang for outstanding performances. I have complete confidence in Bumbi's Nationals chances!!

bumbi had a good race, strang had a great race. i think andrew would tell you banging his knee and the cold he was fighting that week had nothing to do with it. everyone is allowed to have an average day every now and then. just wait till nationals though. there will be alot of factors working in his favor, and i think we could be in for something really special.

Let's hope so! I'm proud of Bumbi for who he is and what he has accomplished, and I have no doubts about his potential to do something extraordinary in San Diego.

 

When's the race?

    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure. 
    • This whole situation is bonkers. You don’t just kick your star player off the team just because you heard them say the F word; the coach definitely had something against the player, or somebody definitely did. Also, nobody has brought up the idea that the school blackmailed the college to get the college to withdraw the scholarship offer, not to mention that the coach who kicked her off is no longer even with the program; they were fired. I think this is a pretty easy lawsuit. I don’t know if she should deserve that much money, but I think she should get enough money for a full-ride scholarship if she cannot get one after this situation.
    • Oh yeah, I’m sure you are different people just always on the same thread for some reason, always agreeing with each other, perhaps just a bunch of dorks who would like to ###### and moan about high school football coaches do a lot of other students, so you make a football team and get a yell at them. When they do something wrong, but I’m sure you don’t like that, do you?   and I’m sure I’m aware of where you get information. A teacher who was on the coaching staff but was fired after the new coaching and staff came in and realized he actually had to start taking his assistant job a little bit more seriously than just wanting to make a little extra cash on the side, hardly even showing up to most practices, should’ve left with his buddy to go to Farragut. I’m sure he could get him a defensive coaching job, but I doubt he will be there in three years. Looking at the way Farragut is currently going.
    • It may be hard to believe but there’s more people than me that think you guys are a bunch of losers.    I’m sure the coaching staff, yourself included, cursed at a bunch of high school students. Nobody could name more than 3 coaches on staff due to the constant turnover. 
    • That's complete BS.  Nobody at ACHS has access to CHS student records unless a transfer is made from CHS to ACHS.
