Who will be 3rd at State?

[RisingSun]

It is possible for LV to be over zealous come the state meet and take it out way too hard. In his mind, it's him versus the clock and sometimes that screws people over. The only way Driggs can beat him is if LV blows up after mile 2. I wouldn't the least bit surprised to see Lukas come through under what Derrick did (9:16). Then again, it's all about the course conditions and the weather.

As for 3rd, I would have said after last track season Tommy King. However, for whatever reason his great 2mile time really hasn't transfered over to the grass yet. I would say Garrett Sweatt has a legit shot at taking 3rd.

I think of the top runners after LV and Driggs, Schrobilgen is the one who has the most to fight for knowing his team is in the running to win it. I think if he can get 3rd behind Driggs, he minimizes the advantage that York has on them in the front runner slot. However, there are so many tough competitors in that projected top ten that just about anything could happen.

Schrobilgen would be my pick for third as well. He's run 14:37, only behind Driggs and I don't think he's lost to anyone but Driggs as well.

Good math Americanrunners. If math says Lukas can get 1,2, and 3 than i believe he could...i believe he could.

Did anyone else think LV would have had a better shot at sub-14 if he didn't go out in a 2:08 800? I think if he has learned from state last year and NBN and doesn't go out as fast as last year, he's got the win.

While I see what you are saying about having something to fight for, I don't think that Sweatt will be any less motivated, and he can really move in the last stretch.

Plus, Scolarici has the same motivation as Schrobilgen to get up there for his team. Sweatt barely nosed out Rici a few weeks ago, and those two flip flopped between conference and state last year as well.

You know, with all this talk of Lukas taking 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, one has to move Sandburg up a bit in the team category.

anyone else have non LV/Driggs comments that are legitimately about the 3rd place race?
