No, they didn’t play a game of soccer. Or best-of-three ping pong.But Meshack Koyiacki (Columbus State) was able to beat Michael Crouch (Queens) for the second time in three weeks -- on Crouch’s home course.
How does Crouch close a 5-second gap? It’ll come down to coaching, and whether each (Columbus State’s J.D. Evilsizer or Queens’ Scott Simmons) can peak his man at the right time. On paper, Simmons has deep experience doing so, but we’ll see. After Saturday's meet Simmons had this to say: "We approached the race as a workout, starting out slowly and moving up mile by mile."
Crouch will have an extra mile to erase that gap in the first weekend of December.

ReplyDeleteWhat about Chile Pepper? Adams State?
ReplyDeleteCrouch does not have a chance. "a 5-second gap"? 5 seconds or not, Koyiaki won. Perhaps you should look at Koyiaki's past performances. He always wins big meets by a few seconds. He sits behind the leaders and out kicks them. With a 1:51 PR in the 800m, Koyiacki has the speed to out kick most. Crouch will need to run his 5000m PR to get away from Koyiaki.
ReplyDeleteCrouch's 5k PR: 13:40.
ReplyDeleteMeshack has run...?
5 seconds at this point in the season means nothing
to top it off, Meshack only made track nationals in the 1500, where he finished what? http://www.tfrrs.org/results/17755_1138459.html
He finished dead last in his PRELIM. WOW. kicking speed lacking?
