Is this a joke? The ignorance on this thread is amazing. Michael Stember was an Olympian.
I see to recall something about him being an Olympian .
I love that a 13:30s guy was written off as an underperformer.
Based on the fact that you raced the 3 mile and referenced TAC, you were before my time, but lots of respect tonyou for your accomplishments and, more importantly, the hard work, dedication and discipline that achieving those accomplishments required.

Alan Scharsu, ran well in XC, but that s where it ends
Not really
I finished 6 & 4 at NCAA indoor 3 mile (top American)
I finished 6 & 7 NCAA XC (stop American)
Won Collegiate Penn Relays 5,000 twice 13:48, 13:42
2nd TAC XC championships
I ran 4:00.2 mile, 7:50 3k, 13:33 5k, 28:37 10k, 47:39 10 mile, 2:19 marathon
Injuries slowed me down but still ran some descent times
Just felt the need to defend myself!!
Those are some pretty nice results
That 4:00.2 should be worth sub 4 on today’s tracks with today’s equipment...

Michael Stember
Balkman (forget his first name but he was the D1 CIF X-country champ in 1992–14:50 something at Woodward, did nothing at Stanford).
You think Stember did nothing? He certainly didn't disappear.

How bout Thomas Ratcliffe?
Good god some of you people need to actually pay attention before posting. He was injured this year, but had a great year previously. He's still got eligibility left too. Idiots.

Training hard isn't about miles run, it is about intensity.
Stillwater has a very good coach, but they train hard, intensity focused. Better off running a little more and running a little less intensity.
I found it hard to believe he only ran 35 mpw, but if he did, it would be impossible to burn out at that amount. With his talent level, it would be about 30 minutes of running a day. Was his training all intervals at race pace?
Believe it or not, there are several other factors that affect running besides mileage.

Al, I nearly posted in your defense earlier but decided it was not worth the effort given how stupid threads like this are. No one who was or is any good would ever start a thread like this...
Amber Trotter for girls XC right? She has the highest speed rating in history and then went to d3 Middlebury and I don't think ever really ran or raced...
Also curious - 1999 1 14:29.8 Dathan Ritzenhein 11 MW 2 14:33.9 Donald Sage 12 MW 3 14:34.3 Ian Dobson 12 W 4 14:36.2 Josh Rohatinsky 12 W 5 14:47.7 Matthew Tegenkamp 12 MW 6 14:50.7 Tim Keller 12 MW 7 14:56.2 Danny Coval 12 NE 8 15:05.9 Alan Webb 11 SO Sounds like he had injury problems in college:http://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?thread=225353

Amber Trotter, though it was predictable.
Second mention for Dan Coval.
Third for Coval. What was his post-high school story anyways? He was an absolute beast in high school.

Melody Fairchild has to be on the last.
In 1991, she set the American Junior and National High School record in the indoor 3,000 meters.
Won Footlocker twice. Was the first sub10 2 miler
And while still in high school, she finished third in the 1991 World Junior XC.
Then went to Oregon and did almost nothing.
Let's not that her "almost nothing" includes winning an NCAA 3k title (plus other AA finishes), and making the US team for world championships at 5k. Maybe not what some fans were hoping to see based on her HS exploits, but objectively great results that hardly qualify as disappearing.
Eric Hulst - He still holds Calif state records for the 2mile / 3200 for 9th, 10th & 11th grades.

yup, I said it. poor girl is smoked

I put her in a different category since she never intended to run in college, right? I interpreted this as a thread about top prep runners that were recruited to run in college and then quit or just washed out without any real accomplishments
I don't think Mary Cain counts either since she never ran for a college.
Billy Orman. Didn’t do much at either Harvard or Stanford.

I think Stember made it to the Olympics, but I'll have to check.
Victoria Chang is another one.

Yes he did, and he did okay in college too
