Penn State was doing a webcast of this meet. I missed it - I was wondering if anybody got to tune in and watch Jordan's fantastic race.

thanks coach brown! I appreciate your words.
Jaron, please do not watch this race.... unless you want a perfect example of "the wheels coming off" 2:59 at 1200. need I say more?

Wheels coming off? At least you have wheels to begin with - everytime I watch one of your races, I feel like I've been tied down with cinder blocks for legs.
Keep up all of the good work!

Keep your head high, Jordan. Keep working and keep the dream alive! I think it's safe to say many people in this area respect what you have accomplished as a runner, and, as important, many people respect you for the young man you are. Good luck!

I am glad to see him run a 3k, as this time has to make him feel very good about the rest of the season and spring, too! Great job, Jordan- keep up the amazing work! DAN

Thanks for the update, Dan.
That's approximately 8:40 for two miles indoors - very impressive!

I personally believe Jordan's ideal distance is the 3k. It's a shame it's only really run indoors, but it seems like the mixture of endurance and speed just matches him. Ultimately he'll be a great 5k-10k guy, but for right now I'd like to see just what he could do at 3k. I had a college roommate that was very similar to Jordan in this respect, but just down in distance a notch, his "sweet spot" was the 1000. He was royally screwed because the 1000 is really only an indoor race and no one ever knew what a great time was.

Looks like he was right there late in the race with some very good guys. I believe Chris Clark broke the PSAC indoor 5k record last year, running 14:00.32.
Ryan Fennelly ran for LaSalle and clocked 13:59 for 5k in 2005.
He is right there with those guys, and I think that he is probably better than those guys if he would bump up to the 5k. But the goal is sub-4 first and he is soooo very close. Hopefully, a great 3k will get him under. This is a 2 second PR for Jordan, so he is inching ever closer. The next few weeks will be great to watch!
