2010 predictions

[centuryfan]

Barnes, Miller, Mann, Marquez = deadly 4 x 4 team.

4x400 and 4x800 will go to the demons.. they just have sooo many good runners that their next 4 in both relays would most likely place top 3 at state.. i have bhs winning both

This was a seriously stupid statement. There is absolutly no way that their next 4 could place top three. Bismarck couldn't place top three with Marquez and their next three last year.

i think the point was that they are too deep of a team to lose, not neccesarily a literal meaning

[thenextusainbolt]

Bismarck will be a shoe in to win seeing that west fargo is the next best and is nowhere near the level to compete with them.

[therunnerdude]

Barring any injuries... who do you guys think will win the 800 individual? Miller or Barnes?

i think miller will take it this year if they are both healthy

The only reason the Demons won't win the 4x400 at state is if they are so far ahead in point totals, Zittleman will throw in some of the "back-ups" to have an opportunity to run at state. (last event)

that happened last year... fact of the matter is if it comes down to the 4X4 BHS will have the tools in place to win the thing... my question is who is going to win the 8 this year... don't get me wrong with this statement i still have my money on jake because i think this kid has so much will and determination in his body that when he sets out to do something he is going to get it done but the fact that he weighs about 15 pounds more then he did last year, hasn't trained for a 800 since last may, and will likely start gearing up for football next year during the track season

He had just finished basketball that weekend. He ran the 400 last night in Minot. Look for him to do more sprinting this year.

[quote"theman"]Oh man, where do I start?
First, just because you ran both the 800 and 5k does not mean you ran both correctly. There is a difference between a runner and runner that wants to be better, i.e., a runner that wants to be better can make any race hurt if ran properly.
Second, I have personally talked to the members about the races, as you most aptly suggested, and the results came back NOT in favor of your theory (ya know, the one that got you in trouble ).
Third, much can be said about what a human can do if they want something bad enough, so let me ask you this question: If he had the ability to finish the race, would he have done it? DDDUUUUHHH!!! You imply that he simply CHOSE to not finish, when in reality it WAS NOT physically possible. If you do not believe me, then you are the ignorant one, not I.
Cheers

My theory didn't get me in trouble my reference to low intelligence did!
but its an opinion and just to let u know the human mind will give up before ur body will...and i have ran the 800 at state and ran a 5k and even 10k very competitively.[/quote]

You don't know a lot about distance running if you think the mind always gives up before the body.

I'm not saying your opinion is wrong about the 800 being tougher than a 5k, it just doesn't sound like you know both sides of the fence, but then again I don't know ya.

[BHSrunner]

all im saying is how are you supposed to compete in the hardest event in track when you cant finish a simple 5k when your 94% done with the race.

...and you don't know anything about running either.

Did anybody else see two 9th grade West Fargo high jumpers go 2-3 in the high jump at Concordia?!? There's some hope for that program yet.....

the bar was only at 5'8 so its really not that impressive. now their sprinters really shocked me. i was expecting alot more out of them. but its only the first meet of the year so they still have a chance to come back. what happened with Gibson? i thought he was spose to be a real top tier sprinter

thats wat i just said im on no side its my opinion?
but i was kidding anyway ik Uetz and i was just giving him crap i hope he wins the 800 and 1600 this year!

[thenextusainbolt]

so what you're saying is that you would have gave up just like him, that's great work ethic. I saw him walking after the race, he could have used that effort to walk through the finish instead of not finishing at all.

will you stop hating on Uetz please its real annoying.

If were at the state meet, you would've seen that he did walk across the finish line, only after the race officials made him take off his shoes. Would you please shut up already? Because you obviously have NO CLUE what you are talking about.

well at least i finished the race!

[thenextusainbolt]

you can tell how uetz's work ethic is paying off by how he did in the 800 at state indoor

[vikingfan03]

your right..cause a 1:59 and a 2nd place finish isnt very good...

I agree with this he should be a top 5 sprinter. he just doesn't want to perform it looks like. but that speck kid looks like he is going to be more of a sure thing than gibson

I don't know if you are joking or not but...if you aren't, it's pretty hilarious that you think it's cool to be an idiot when you are operating in anonymity.

Face the fact that some people simply perform better than others indoor. come outdoor season gibson will be up there with the best of them

[football_track40]

i happen to know both gibson and *spacek* (not speck) and i would agree that gibson will be much more successful in the outdoor season. i hope spacek continues to do well but i think he still looks up to gibson as oppossed to thinking he is better than him. both will do well

haha i know my comment was a joke just to make him upset. Gibson is one of my good friends i posted that to see what he would say but yeah they are both really good sprinters and he doesn't like indoor thats why he hasn't done so well. come outdoor season he will be great and so will spacek
