Zach Cervi Skinner 9:17

Jacob King 9:25

Sheesley 9:03 for 2nd in his heat

Lucas 9:15 for 20th in the same heat

Really great run by Sheesley.

Should be noted that Lucas was tripped around lap 3

Shut up.

He ran 69-70 for laps 2-5, then ran 68, 71, 67.9. Getting his foot clipped isn’t getting tripped. He didn’t go down, people get jostled, and he faded down the stretch.

2:30 into the race.

To be fair, he didn't lose to Sheesley by 12 seconds because he got tripped. He rolled and was back on his feet pretty quickly and was in the race until late. Falling obviously isn't ideal, but there's degrees of it and his was not as bad as the fall that happened later in the race with the other guys. My guess is that he probably runs closer to the 9:08 range if he doesn't fall. Good thing they are going to Jesuit later this year.

True, but falling often hurts you mentally more than physically.

I think it’s rash to simply say that Sheesley is the better athlete than him at this point, and even if it doesn’t look like he got physically hurt, someone who knows him will have to ask because we might just not be able to pick it up from the video.

Like you said, Jesuit will be a true indicator of where he’s at.

CDA projected 4-5-6 runners next fall (in no particular order)
Rohlinger - 4:38 1600
Rietze - 9:53 3200 / 4:41 1600
Heule - 4:43 1600 / 9:54 3200 (as a freshman!)
Assuming their top 3 will be the Cervi-Skinners and Carr

Why don’t the Idaho colleges/universities recruit local runners?

They do, many want to leave despite being recruited. Boise St probably doesn’t focus much on Idaho kids.

Heemeyer 8:59

Ringert 9:00

Sheesley 9:03

Helder 9:05

Max CS 9:05

Lucas 9:15

Kemper 1:50

Pretty good showing for Idaho guys. Would have been cool to get a couple more under 9, but Ringert, Sheesley, Max, and Lucas should all get another opportunity later this year at sea level meets.

Also…

Taylor 10:45

Pollock 10:52

Bruce 2:17

Heywood 2:18

Orme 5:02

Boise girls 3:56 4x400

Patriot meet saw Rilyn Stevens go sub 11, Sasha Livingston and Alex Terry run 11:09 and 11:10, respectively, and Betsy Reeder run 11:15. 5A District III is now faster in the girls 3200 through 10 than it was last year, and we have 6 weeks to go.

Boise has two boys go sub 10 at Patriot, Rocky now has 6 boys sub 10 already. Top freshman boy marks at Patriot for 1600 are 4:36 for Spiers, 4:44 for Bruce, 4:47 for Majors, Dawson in 4:50. Top 3200m marks are Spiers in 10:07, Anderson in 10:18, Hilliam in 10:20, and Culpepper in 10:25.

Although it takes 5 to score, it helps a lot to have 6 guys. NXR 2023 showed that.

Majors was on the soccer team last fall. So we don’t know if he will stick with that or switch to XC.

Eagle's top two freshmen improved their marks to 151 and 147. Heule improved to 163.

Eagle through 3 now has 151, 147, 130 lifetime bests. Actually pretty decent now.

Mountain View is sitting at 145, 141, 130, but all of them have only run 2 meets compared to everyone else's 3 or 4.

I think let’s just be more fair on here. We don’t need to speculate or guess at what Lucas time is - it is what it is - but the rolling somersault, shoulder bruise and bloody hand unlikely led him to his best time.

I think we should be celebrating Idaho running and progress more than bashing or comparing.

Imagine a 3200 state final with:

Heemeyer, Ringert, Sheesley, Helder, Max CS, Ihmels, Lucas, Stadtlander, Kemper, Zach CS, King, etc

that’s a lot of D1 Talent in that race

1600 even more galactic

That’s exciting for Idaho -

much better than bashing some 17 year old who was tripped from behind in a race.

let’s elevate and be positive
