Many of the previous predictions have been proven erroneous already. Why not praise the athletes for putting themselves out there and pass on commenting unless there is something insightful to say? In the alternative, the "anonymous" negative posts can be retracted when an athlete performs :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31292861.post-48043529082679727492013-01-10T18:39:22.427-08:002013-01-10T18:39:22.427-08:00Mackey and Schumann are both contenders in the 320...Mackey and Schumann are both contenders in the 3200.NCS Milernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31292861.post-81839164803542330562013-01-08T20:16:55.152-08:002013-01-08T20:16:55.152-08:00What about Carter Mackey from Castro Valley?

And the last two years in particular have seen some remarkable 3200 races at the state meet. Hence, the 9:09 represents that three-year average.<br /><br />Since the whole idea of the at-large is to advance the athletes that demonstrate that they can compete at a State Final level, that's the current mark needed for the 3200.

Don't forget about Annaka Green at Amador who's run 4:41 for 1500 and is back running after her injury that kept her from xc.

Eugene has more raw, undeveloped talent than Ratto, and ran 1:52 last year (it was his first year as a distance runner). so i think that breaking 1:50 is completely plausible. not saying its a certainty, but i think its totally plausible given his raw speed, and potential for growth from last year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31292861.post-89476986898637346672012-12-31T14:57:32.822-08:002012-12-31T14:57:32.822-08:00To Anonymous @ 2:46 PM:
