An NCAA appeals committee granted Luke Cragg (Adams State) an extra year's eligibility.
Cragg petitioned the NCAA Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement, which recognized injuries in 2006 cross country and 2008 outdoor track seasons. He also redshirted in 2005-6, obstensibly while at Leeds University (England) in his hometown. Cragg will get a season of cross and outdoors, but not indoors.
For a team greatly depleted by the loss of last year's top three (Aaron Braun, Brian Medigovich and Reuben Mwei), it is a huge gain. Cragg was 11th in Evansville.
Although Adams State returns Anthony Gauthier (10th in Evansville), Nate Sellers (19th), middle-distance stud Andrew Graham and Edwin Cruz (5,000 and 10,000 outdoors qualifier), I don't expect 23 points in Louisville this fall.
Thats the nail in the coffin for a challenge from any other team. 13.54 / 29.10 this past track season and he always brings his A game at xc nationals.

ReplyDeleteIf you go to that website, www.eightlane.com and go to training and sort by user (Luke's is L.C) you can see his training logs from the past 3 years. It gives a great insight into what Adams State actually do and you get a great account of the good times and the bad.
ReplyDeleteAdams will be strong this year, hard to beat. Western Might put up a fight, a kitten fighting a bit pull but still a fight. Mines looks like it will be a better contender than Western this year.
ReplyDeleteyou mean a pit bull lol
ReplyDeletewhat about the rumours of two very fast 1500 runners (3:36 and 3:38) going to Adams this year?

ReplyDeleteWhat about Gauthier? I heard he might be done and back in France. Are you sure he's returning?
