Re: Pac-10 XC results-Cal

lilot, your criticism hurt my feelings. please stop. seriously, though. i too want to see a good cal team. what we had when gilmore and i were there was a team of walk-ons. walk-ons who were a shoulda, coulda, woulda away from doing something. now they do have some high school studs. should they have run better at pac-10s? no doubt. do they know that? yes. is it all tony's fault? i don't think so. i think bad races can be blamed more on the athlete than the coach. but i too agree, things are not perfect in berkeley and things need to change quick. i don't want to make predictions, but look for some big things at regionals from the top 2.

Hmmm, Stanford 23 and Oregon 91. Wonder what the results would have been if Oregon could keep Oregon runners?

Martin Smith understands distance training and has been improving other parts of the program but some have criticized his personal and PR skills.

Re-focused Torrence pulling CAL teammates through.

This hunger seems to have carried over to the rest of the team this season as the men placed fifth overall in the Pre-NCAA Invitational on Oct. 13. The Bears’ fifth-place finish helped the men achieve their highest ranking in school history, No. 8 in the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association poll.

“Now that we’re doing well this year and running with other teams, we aren’t racing with ourselves anymore, we’re racing to beat people,” says Torrence. “Now we’re talking trash to other teams.”
