Many of you may have seen last fall's NCAA men's race over 10K....remember how Ryan Hall gave Ritz all he could handle...and yet, 6-7 months later Ritz runs 27:38.5 on the track and Hall has all but dissapeared. Hall did run a decent 5000m a few weeks ago (13:45.0) but his talent is much greater than that...
So, I say, it always amazes me how someone can show great potential, look so good and then just kind of fade away.
This is not meant as a slam on Hall...I still think he may come back and do very well (like one Alan Webb) but I've seen this happen all too often.
