I bet you won't. You'll still be saying it was the Covid-19 training changes that made the difference. LOL.
You can lead a horse to water but can't make him drink.
Update on 6/10.Let me add in some stats.
Yes, the meet record was a little soft and yet normally people don't go for a fast one and yes the weather is normally hotter. So what.
In a normal year, if you add up all of the Stanford and Mt SAC 10,000S, THERE ARE HARDLY ANY SUB-28S. The NCAA records only go back to 2010. From 2010 to 2021, we had a total of 11 guys break 28:00 for 10,000 in the NCAA total for all races. This year 13 guys did it including 10 in this race.
