bored....team analysis & xc preview

so it's 12 o clock and i don't feel like studying...here's a look at almost everyone on the team + a projection of xc '08

galasso
1600 - 4:24 indoors
800 - 2:02
3200 - 9:36
george is still the top dog but unfortunately he hasn't improved since his sophomore year of spring track. he should be around 4:15 by now but has struggled with injury during xc & hasn't been running to his full potential. i could be totally wrong however, and he might just be taking it easy for moc & stuff. i still expect him to go 4:12-4:15 this year.

sean
1600 - 4:41
3200 - 10:00
800 - 2:10
sean has really stepped his game up with the departure of all our seniors and with oliver out for spring. he went from our 4th guy in xc to a distant 2nd man from the rest of the team. his 1600 & 800 times show that he not only has endurance but speed also. i will be trying to mimic sean's success next year haha. i expect sean to go sub 10 by the end of spring and sub 4:40 & 2:10.

bert
1600 - 4:46
3200 - 10:28
kev hsu has also made a huge jump after winter track. he is part of the trio (along w/ tai & albert) knocking at the 4:45 door. i am def excited to see what he can do in xc. i expect him to go sub 4:45.

jon tai
1600 - 4:46
800 - 2:09
jon imo is an md guy. with some more training he can def go sub 4:45 and at least 10:30. i'm saying it now - he is going to be the x factor come xc next season.

albert
1600 - 4:47
800 - 2:07
albert has run very fast times despite not running xc and not logging many miles. i still don't know if he can run the 3200 & 5k but it would be a + to have him for xc.

robby
1600 - 4:55 indoor
3200 - 10:45
robby has struggled w/ injury but has recently come back to rung pretty good times. i expect him to be our 3rd man in xc and hey, he might even catch sean in xc.

karl
1600 - 4:55
3200 - 10:56
karl has improved by a lot since winter. going from 5:2x to 4:55, karl def has potential to go sub 4:50.

stefan
3200 - 10:41
stefan has a history of improving dramatically in a short amount of time and then getting sick. his performances at the end of xc were astonishing and his 5:06 in xc time trials showed sub 5 potential. however, stefan has been running poorly for the first half of spring until the twilight meet. if he can stay healthy, stefan has 10:3x potential.

friggly
1600 - 5:01
3000 - 10:01
friggly has also improved by a lot since winter. i def expect him to be running sub 4:55 by the end of the season.

jc
3000 - 10:03
3200 - 11:07
jc has sub 11 potential if he can just put together a good race.

dave sun
3200 - 10:5x
dave has a chance to be one of the best 3200 guys on the team and run 10:4x

me
1600 - 5:05 indoors
3200 - 10:59
i've struggled w/ injury that basically ruined my spring season but i've been able to come back and still run sub 11. i should be able to go sub 4:55 by the end of the season considering i'm in about 4:57-59 shape right now.

jon tsang
3200 - 11:33
1600 - 5:27
tsang has recently gotten good and ha surpassed sam walter and brian tsai. i expect him to be running sub 5:20 and 11:30

sam walter
3200 - 11:52
sam has improved by a lot he should def be able to got sub 11:30

brian tsai
1600 - 5:3x
3200 - 12:00
brian imo is the most underrated person on the team. he has improved drastically since freshman year. i def. expect him to go sub 5:30 & 12:00

arthur
1600 - 5:01
3200 - 11:05
arthur has run very good and consistent times for the 1600 this spring. he has established himself as top froshy and is def a threat next year for xc. he should be able to go sub 5 & 11 soon. i hope he can follow oliver's success and dominate next year in xc.

kieran
800 - 2:22
kieran is a very good racer. with some harder training, he should be able to catch up to arthur by xc.

miracle
800 - 2:13
miracle is struggling w/ injury but i def expect him to be running fast in xc

sam liu
1600 - 5:00.9
3000 - 10:23
sam has struggle with injury and other issues but has still put up good results. he is generally better in xc and should run fast in xc.
