Flash in a pan in the sense of qualifying from this season on, to clarify.
I don’t care about DMRs and you shouldn’t either. Who was on Oregon’s team? A 3:41 victory in a tactical race is fcking meaningless after college— who’d he beat…? Right.
Top-25 in cross…? Ok, should we run down the historical rolls for how little that does or does not portend 1500m success? Nuguse now has a HS’er with a better PR coming up behind him and at least two Ducks of the same or better caliber… prolly better. He didn’t win outdoors this year. Maybe we can agree it’s a weird year? Where losers and winners are tough to tell except in retrospect?
He didn’t start at the Olympics. Not a great showing regardless of circumstance.
Is Hobbs the only pro I mentioned? Can’t recall whether the Oregon boys are returning.
