Will it take a sub-29 minute effort to win at Louisville?

The finishers at the Greater Louisville Open confirmed what many had guessed (or known): The race course at Tow E. Sawyer State Park is fast. Damn fast. To wit:

• Meshack Koyiaki (Columbus St.) 23:20
• Michael Crouch (Queens) 23:28
• Daniel Kirwa (Harding) 23:34

Add to that Marko Cheseto of Alaska-Anchorage ripping a similarly fast time at Willamette (23:18; it’s fast, I know, I’ve run it). And don’t forget outdoors double-winner Amos Sang (Abilene Christian). It will be some horse race come NovemberDecember(!).
