Looks like Brad lied to me! Brad said Andrew ran a 5:40 mile! 6 minute mile?? not impressed anymore.

I think the blog said a sub 6 minute mile. So it still could have been a 5:40! I find it funny they tried to get Butler-Xavier as part of the wooden. Not only
would Butler give up a true home game but it is one that COULD strike the interest of gameday at Hinkle.

The guys are athletes in excellent condition trained to run up and down a floor for up to 40 minutes a game......I don't know why people are surprised by
these results.
I thought I heard Crone was going over to Europe but could be wrong, looks like A.J. and Mike are doing well. |

ndfan1993 wrote:A 5:22 mile is impressive, period. If he could ( and that's a big IF) keep that pace for a marathon, it would equate to about a 2:30 time. ( If my math is correct.) Yes, a good track runner will beat that mile time, but try it yourself, and I'm not singling out ndfan. Even you young students or alums will have to kick some butt to equal that time. (Hint, don't wear a new shirt if you try.) Once again, I'm impressed. I'd love to hear some of the other times. Actually, I think it comes to about a 2:20 marathon time, and, Sweeper, I am still impressed, especially for a non-track person. By the way, and not being testy, do you have a PR?

"A 5:22 mile is impressive, period." Well maybe not "period".

I ran a 5:07 mile in 8th grade, but I was a mile runner. Those are some impressive times by the guys.

I'm not saying im not impressed, but if they ran that mile on the Hinkle indoor track, I can say that it often produces freakishly low times...
David Woods, a voice of reason:
National publicity is good for Butler's program, of course, but remember this: The Website reporters who cover college basketball are compelled to write about something in the off-season, and Butler is the flavor of the month. Such publicity is also a reminder of how outrageous preseason expectations have become for what is essentially a sophomore/junior team. I'm actually more concerned about Butler's fans than the team. |

A trained mile runner or a track person, usually someone around 5'8" and 120-130 lbs, is not exceptional. But to have someone 6'11" or
6'3" and 230 lbs does catch my attention. Congrats to the team members for dedicating themselves and getting into such great shape.
PS. I've never been clocked in the mile but I do have a 34:40 10K time and a 2:50 marathon PR, both done after the age of 40. And I just placed 9th out of 62 (I was the second oldest in the field at 61) in a 10 miler at 8,000 ft. Who ever said, "Grow old gracefully?"

It appears Shelvin put the off-season to good use. Let's hope his quickness has improved .

My PR in the mile is 4:48 and I am not a college athlete, or athlete by any means.... so these guys must be pretty slow.... How about someone starts a thread
in general discussion with mile PR times....

A) not lying... just "used to be" a runner... and B) sarcasm... I probably would struggle to run a sub-5:30 mile now... but I am aware of what a good
mile time is... Just tooting my own horn like the rest of crew on here...

I believe Duck is right on this one--If you are running sub 5's it's pretty damn good--In the dark ages at our school all the freshman ran the mile, I
never got very close to 5. I quickly decided running hurdles, dashes, and field events looked pretty good compared to the mile let. jmo
Offense is fickle, but defense comes every night.

Dashes were always more fun than the mile. Heck even in the 400 I would get bored. During miles I would get tremendously bored.

In high school, I ran the 440 (back then....we used yards....not meters) consistently around the 59 second mark. I thought the 440 was the most draining of the
dashes. The mile was boring. In basic training, I ran a mile in full army gear in 5 minutes. In those days we were not trained the way today's athletes are
trained. Basically, no water and lots of salt tablets.
Today, the only time I run in a Marathon is when our vehicles need gas.
