Subject: Re: importance of the 9:00 3km high school runner Author: pistol [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 10:07:42 03/13/01 Tue In reply to: not getting it done 's message, "Re: why canadian university coaches seem disinterested" on 09:52:10 03/13/01 Tue you are completly right! 9 minute 3k kids might not seem like anything special when compared to the 8:30 kids but they sure can develop into something. Cutting these kids instead of working their asses off is definalty the wrong approach. I've seen these kids do some impressive things. Here at WVU we've had a lot of walk on kids at around the 10 minute 2 mile (over 9:00 3000m) out of high school, who our coach has worked hard with every day. These kids worke just as hard as everyone else and the results they have produced are very important to our team. We have a kid who ran over 10 minutes in high school, he came here his freshmen year worked hard and two years later ran 14:40's another kid ran 8:29 3000m his freshmen indoor year and only ran 9:50's 2 mile in high school. The 9 minute kids at home can do this and should be doing this, if the coach is paying as much attention to them as he is his faster kids. It's all about progression in this sport and some kids take a little longer to catch up. Think what a 6th or 7th man at 14:40's for 5000m could do at the CAIU level [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
