The other two "super-frosh" Chris Derrick and Luke Puskedra did run the 5K at the NCAA Indoor and acquitted themselves nicely. They also will be running in Amman.
So which is the better way to prepare?
I guess we'll know in about 10 days.

The coach was so wary, he had German run a mile/3000 double at the Big 12 meet.

From the story we wrote on the front page on February 19, when we broke the NCAA-skipping news:
<<...But Cowboy coach Dave Smith says he and Fernandez are considering having him skip the NCAA Indoor Championships.
Why? Because between his two superb track races, he won the U.S. Junior cross country title to qualify for his second World Champs, scheduled for March 28 in Amman, Jordan.
“German’s No. 1 goal has been to make the Junior team and go to Worlds, “Smith says. Fernandez was the top U.S. Placer last year in 25th. “He wanted a couple of competitive races before Worlds, which he got in the mile and 3K.
“Now, he wants to help the team at the Big 12 Championships [February 27-28]. He’s a real team guy. Then we’ll make a decision about the NCAA.
“I worry about him doing too much, even as crazy as it sounds to miss the NCAA Indoor. But he has some big goals for the 5000 outdoors this spring. And he also is very intent about keeping up with his classwork.”...>>
