futsum is running nxn

Drew Shields ran smart and got the job done. Congrats Drew.

His brother Alex finished 6th. What a family.

Drew is an outstanding athlete. He became the first Indiana boy to win the 1600/800 and he did it as a junior in two sit-and-kick races in 4:18.14 and 1:55.14. This was about two hours after anchoring his 4x800 team in 1:53.

As a sophomore Drew ran 4:13.5 for a full mile, and he ran 4:09 this last summer. Hitting around 90 miles a week during the summer, he came into the season as the favorite and lost the belief of many people when this Eritrean kid started winning so much.

Drew knows how to win important races and is the poster boy for running to win and win only. He hung with the leaders for most of the race and then pulled away over the last kilometer like a true champion.

NXN would be a good move for Futsum.

Thanks you, Mrs. Shields.

Uh. Should be "thank".

Dylan. Sorensen.

drew shields is an overrated runner. his credentials include winning weak mile and 800 fields in slow times (you dont sit and kick in an 800). he won the xc title after the best runner in the state stopped to tie his shoe. ill take futsums dominating him at culver, regionals, semi state, and nxn/footlocker (oh wait that hasnt happened yet....o well). anyway, drew shields = overrated piece of crap.

Regardless, he's a multiple state champ. How many titles do you have?

Nick Symmonds sits and kicks in the 800 meters

Must be a teammate of Futsum. From what I heard he wouldn't shake Drew's hand in the chute after the race.

Futsum Zeinasellassie of Eritrea, a freshman from North Central (yes, he's 15)

He is almost 16......which is the age of most Sophmores.

Would be interesting to see if they can hang with Craig Lutz (soph)

he's already beaten two sub 9:10 guys

and another guy who went 9:11/14:53 in a track 5K

I guess those guys in the WC 800 Final did not get the memo.

Pryor you are a POS runner. How ya been doing at Anderson? I hope you have improved a ton from your completely mediocre high school PRs you legend you.
