Will Bumbi Triple at State?

[saywhat?]

Strang is indeed a national caliber runner. Its unfortunate for him that he has to share the limelight with bumbi.

 

And the times say that Strang is a great runner (Colorado is one h###### a running school) but Bumbi is better, and I think hes enough better to win 3 events Friday- Strang or no Strang...

hey moderator, you better watch you language- last i checked it was forbidden that one uses the H word in any context (you can pm RedBaron515 about that). but anyway theres no doubt that strang and bumbi are just ridiculously good runners. it is possible that one of them might triple, but hypothetically would either of them triple if TN still did things the old way, with the 3200 late in the meet right close to the 800?

EVENT 1: 3200 Meters

9:10

how close were the other times?

Strang ran 9:17...don't know the rest.

Bumbi sets new state record in the 1600...but no triple as Strang wins the 800.

 

BA wins their 12th Boys State Track and Field Championship.

yes, but there is a "bumbi" and he will tripple,sorry strang im sure youre really good but you cant beat "bumbi"

Would you like to repeat that? Don't get me wrong, I think Bumbi is truly a great, great runner, the best distance runner in the state, BUT Strang is a mighty fine runner too. Call it woman's intuition or whatever, but I really believed that Strang would get a state championship. I'm glad he did. He's worked very hard and is definitely one of the two best distance runners in the state of Tennessee. Congrats to both young men.

Congratulations to the Brentwood Academy Eagles -- Back-to-back Division II Track & Field State Champions!!!

 

Am I surprised?? Of course not. But am I proud anyway?? HECK YEAH!!

 

Great job, Eagles. Enjoy your Golden Cleats. The track program is still the most successful team at Brentwood Academy -- 12 state championships, best in state history.

 

Good job to Bumbi as well...as a junior, he already holds state records in both the Mile and 2-mile. Can anyone say legend???

 

I'm proud to be a Brentwood Academy alumnus.

James Strang has been the ideal in-state rival for Bumbi. Congratulations to him...he's a fine runner with an extraordinary future.

 

As for Bumbi...2 out of 3 ain't bad, especially when he holds state records in his two championship events!

I don't really follow track much, but I do follow Coacht and I was reading this. Congratulations to "Bumbi" an a great season and congrats to Strang as well. Now, now mom, let's be nice on here, I understand that you did recognize the talent of both runners, but funny how your intuition comes up now that the meet is over. I only reread this thread not any others, but I did not see you calling Strang as the winner of anything. I saw where you hoped he would win at least one. Anyway, good job to all of those who qualified for state, that is quite an accomplishment.

Yeah, WesVols - BA wins again - think how bad the margin would have been if MCCallie didnt have Bingham. I ran for MBA last year - it hurts to hear the results - but we won 4X800, that makes me proud - it seems to be every three years - BA takes over, and then MBA takes over in track - i guess ill just have to wait until Ty and Bumbi graduate

It's been a fun ride for BA the past two years, and here's hoping they don't get off at this year's bus stop. They lose some talented seniors (including Decathlon runner-up Chris Buck), but should be strong again next year since none of their key distance runners graduate.

 

You're right, though, Almost...I endured the same pain you're feeling during the days of David Dean and company at MBA. The cycle will undoubtedly turn back to West End...but here's hoping it's not anytime soon!

lol- surely you're not suggesting that anyone would jump on Strang's bandwagon after the race much like the way it happened when he beat Bumbi at FL regionals?
