A/AA Cross Country "Who has it?"

Daniel jones was running in the high 16's at Vaughns Gap which is a pretty tough course. Following close behind was Kyle Mayo. i think kyle is who coasterboard is talking about. i am probably wrong. FRA lost a lot of good runners. Individual i think Daniel. as a team..... who knows?

Kyle is solid, but FRA always strives to compete as a team, not individuals- this year, they have 3 or 4 guys at the top within 30 seconds, and then another group of four not too far back.

 

It would be nice for a FRAian to win the title, but I wasnt necessarily speaking of FRA.

 

This is looking to be one of the best years in recent history for A-AA.

 

Last year (especially track) was a turning point for the classification, and this year I think it will start to show in XC.

 

 

 

 

Here's a fairly safe prediction- The winning time from last year will not win this year.....

I think that is a very safe statement- Longstreth has already ran a 16:38, and Pair or Sexton one ran a 16:07- realizing of course that I don't know the difficulty of the course, but still a very respectful start for this early in the season.

those are very fast times indeed, but do take into consideration that Sharp Springs may be the fastest course in the state. Its finish line is literally downhill from the start, and there is only one slight hill which really doesnt even count....

Also if you go back and look at results you will see that Jordan does not peak till state he has even held back at region in years past, but I look for him to try to win region this year. I would bet his times will drop steadily all year.

i guess we will see about fra today at the race.... and i agree with coasterboard. the winning time this year will be faster then the time last year. daniel will be pushing coming out of a great track season. so will rommell(?)(sorry for the misspelling). i am not sure about too many guys outside of our region. elizabethan has one guy i think but i do not know his name. my guess the winning time will be 15:15ish. there will be a couple of guys fighting for that time also. if it was just up to one guy i wouldn`t put the time that low, but with so many fighting for it, the times will drop.

Wow, that's news to me! No one has been saying that for the last 3 years. You won't be thrilled with the times in today's meet, but you also won't be seeing the REAl team. No one accept Lipscomb ran their varsity today. Romell (spelling?) didn't run, Bijan(spelling?) didn't run and neither did FRA's varsity. I won;t say how many, but it's more than you would think.

how did lipscomb get pulled into this conversation???? plus there 3 and 4 guy didn`t run because of being sick and jordan and david held back because of a very hard workout today. they didn`t even know that they had one until school today. so coasterboard excitement didn`t overwhelm the lipscomb tent after the race.

umm... because thats who beat FRA..... which is what we were talking about.

 

as far as celebration goes, I just said they were pretty pleased with themselves, If they weren't, Im sorry you guys aren't happy with success....

 

its good to hear that you guys held out your numbers 3 and 4 runners, but what in the world does your #1 and #2 holding back have to do with it? They couldve run 3:54 mile pace and still scored the same amount of points.... it doesnt matter in the team scoring. If you think FRA held out runners equivalent to your 3 and 4, youre in for a long season. At this point last year, you guys were beating us solidly every race, but this year, you barely beat our JV guys, so Id stop arguing for Lipscomb now if I were you....

    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through. 
    • McKenzie had no trouble with Huntingdon.  
    • Has BA landed any cornfed cowboys to block up front?
    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
