Ritz goes Pro

[Chris Moulton]

Ritz went pro giving up his last 2 years of eligibility, an interesting decision since he is injured and likely won't be running well for the rest of the summer and could have just run cross in the fall and taken a shot at the team title. Then again he gave NCAA a shot got some valuable experience and now has decided to go pro.

This is kind of surprising. I have read a few interviews with him that he said he would spend at least one more year at CU before going pro. I guess he received a cheque with too many zeros to turn down.
