oh and coachfaulds, we'll revisit this in june . i say he'll be close What is significant about the 8.00 isn't the time really, although Andersen did have Matthias on his butt to 2200m in 5.59 (8.10 pace - record at the time), it was the 2.01 800m at the end that was truly amazing for a HSer, since they were already going at record pace. Matthias ran 8.13 for 2nd (which no one in the past 22 years has matched either). It also assumes that Woodfine would have some competition pushing him as well. Mo talked about the 8.00 for a while indoors, but he wasn't even close, and he had shown that he too could run fast alone. Weather might also be a factor as a noon race in June could be hot and the London track can be a wind-tunnel in the middle of the day, all of which mitigate against it. But it would be great so see him give it a go. I would be more interested in seeing Woodfine go after the National Junior 5000m record - 13.43.xx (now closing in on 50 years old) - in the next few years, if Mo Ahmed doesn't give it a shot next year. Since the 3000m isn't even the Junior record anymore (Woods 7.58), that makes the 5000m all that more alluring, and possibly more attainable for Woodfine in the right race under good conditions - and he has 3 seasons to prepare for it. BTW, Andersen never ran that time again, so maybe it's not a harbinger of better things to come - on the Senior level anyway. (Triathlete or not).

Didnt Andersen tear up his leg with an axe by accident which put him out of commission for quite some time after he ran the 8:00?

if he does decide to run, anyone think he will come close to the ofsaa record of 8:00.20? absolutely no chance. sub 8:15 will be enough of a challenge...

Ryan Sleiman is a little kid, if this kid grows over the winter I would expect times surreal to what he is capable of now. Ben Flannagan on the other hand outkicked a 4:11/2:00 guy at ofsaa cross country. Not only 1, but two will likely go sub 2 as midgets. Messina has run a 4:20 and a 9:33, so expect a solid sub 4:10 . As for these two 'little' guys , don't be suprised to see a sub 8:50 this summer, after all - Sleiman ran 11 seconds faster than Jp did on the malden course by himself, JP had Daryl breathing down his back when he set the record. Sub 8:50 is REALY hard as a midget barely anyone has done it in Canadian history although I would LOVE to see it, but the OTFA record before this year was 8:46 so if they break 8:50 I think they will break 8:45 and have the new OTFA record. Just my opinion.

my buddy (midget boys) has his eyes set on Kevin Sullivan's OFSAA record of 1:54. I won't name him, b/c that would just not be fair for him. But him and atleast 2 other guys will go sub 1:58 imo. And I think Sleiman is a 3k guy.

I can definitely see ben flanagan and ryan sleiman fighting for the top spot at 1500 or 3000 in midget boys

Realisticly speaking, 8:00 for Tristan is not possible, I doubt any one will push him the way Matthias did for Anderson, he would be smart doing what Mo Ahmed did and just run to win, not chase records (thats how runners 'burn out'). I hope when you say, I wanna see Tristan go after 13:43, youre not refering to this year, thats even harder than 8:00. As you mentioned Bruce's junior 5k record could be broken by Mo Ahmed ( but he must give it a shot this year not next year, last year of junior eligibility), our national junior record may not as fast the american one (13:25.46), but its very impressive. I for one want to see Tristan make the standard (14:15) for world junior team in the 5k, but even that is questionable, let alone 8:00 3k.

as for ryan sleiman in gradeschool i think he ran : 2:20, and 4:40 with no competition what so ever! im sure he couple get that down to sub 4:10 and probably under 2 in 800m. But i also think sleiman will be a 3km guy and i can see him goin under 9 for sure.

I don't think that Woodfine is all that great, really just the best of a rather mediocre group - but then every "year" thinks that their's is the the best ever. He is fit due to the Tri background, but that will level off in time. I was really just pandering to Lukesteer to seems to have a man-crush on Woodfine.

Yeah, but if everyone stopped "bringing up random names" of brow persons, and "stopped wasting their time" tnf north would cease to exist.... especially since the threads are 60% compromised of ofsaa predictions (The other remaining forty consisting of chirping the NCAA, chirping the NAIA, complaining about CIS and SFU/UBC complaining about each other).
But in all seriousness and in the spirit of my previous statement, I must disagree with fasterthanjesus, and state that he is a" complete moron" and "doesn't know shit" and the one known as "captain emo" will certainly be taking the jr boys sprint hurdles (if he stops worrying about his hair/buys real shorts)

8-Flannagan 15-Flannagan 30-Sleiman
Eamonn - 3peat
8-Souleiman 15-Denault 30-Woodfine, Janikowsky
Not serious, made up in 30 seconds. Just an early predict to share my opinion
