I don't like it. I'm thinking they are targeting German's forth race ..as Nationals. Three to go. I don't think he can catch Derrick or Puskedra. Derrick said after PRE Nationals they are gonna be uping the training. Derrick is running long long long some more. We are talking 10000 here not 1500 or the mile etc. Think German is to far back and he seems to come back slow for the longer events. Really hope I'm wrong but maybe some others might be the ones that are up there at the final.
Remember last year at World Juniors. German was on a sore ankle and still beat Chris and Luke. When Derrick beat him in the 5000 German was coming back from sickness I believe. German is the only one of the with an NCAA title, granted in the 1500 but still I give German the edge. He still has the world indoor junior record in the mile too. German will be fine you'll see. As the other poster stated Luke was 11th like a week ago. Dave Smith probably told German not to run that hard cause they were gonna win anyway. I tend think German will win the NCAA XC title. If Derrick can get Chelenga at the end, German in top form will kill everyone.
