LRC made the rounds around the track today and there was one interesting potential development. A prominent coach told us he'd heard that Oregon's Matt Centrowitz has a stress fracture.
http://www.letsrun.com/2009/ncaa0609.phpLooks like we've got a repeat of the Fernandez rumors prior to World XC. There Fernandez ended up with a stress reaction which didn't prevent him from racing and cost him less than a week of training.
What's the story with Centro's foot? Is this a false rumor? Is it true? I'm sure Wejo and Employee #1 will try to find out.
I'll be busy getting nervous for my Cornell boys.
If memory serves those Fernandez rumors were not rumors, as his coach, and then Fernandez himself went on the record about his stress reaction.
So far the only aspect of this that is rumor, is ALL of it, in that you are not naming the "prominent" coach, and you have clearly not tried to confirm this with any legit sources.
Once again the kind of quality professional journalism once comes to expect from LR.
While it may turn out to be true that Centro has a stress fracture or a stress reaction... You have to followed professional journalism standards by verifying your sources information...and then you erroneously state that Ferndandez situations was "rumors" when it fact GF's situation was OTR - "on the record" (twice).
It makes one wonder if the reason you skipped the press conferences is that you two are not well thought of in the professional environment.
Another vote for you two to raise the level of your ethics and professionalism...
