osu 11th out of 12 teams at their conference meet...
No one does anything worth mentioning, aside from Lowe and the british mate Tom Farrell. Well, honorable mention to the great Romanian in the 800m, Rual! Though, Rual was not on their xc team, nor Farrell, but will be next year for sure. What's going on? OSU coach... david smith need to recruit more kenyans and foreigners to get the job done? Regardless, I'm sure he'll put in a heavy week of recruiting in response to this performance. It is what he does best, let's give credit where it's due.
Also German, if you're out there... I STILL THINK YOU'LL GET THERE ONE WAY OR ANOTHER!
Nothing new. They always suck it up at conference in track. Kind of hard not to with only distance runners. That being said, from the medium amount of knowledge I have all that is OSU, their boys were probably shit tired going into this meet. Harder/faster is not always better, and the only way an athlete improves is if they recover from their efforts. These are two lessons I don't think Mr. Smith will ever learn. Pounding athletes into the ground so that half of them DNF (like in many past years) is coaching at its worst. Phenominal recruiter though.
The cowboys will have their day. I'm guessing it will be Stanford a 5-6 weeks from now.
