Can't dump many, if any, scholarships into distance runners in SEC and expect to score a bunch of points w/ likes of Ark, Ala, and Aub. To much risk and not enough reward. Sprinters are our lot in the spring. Multiple events vs. distance runners (1 or 2) and we have sprint talent in the state South without having to go oversees (excluding the islands). We get best sprinters in the country interested. Best U.S. distance runners would put us around 48th on their list. Cross-country is another victim of Title IX.

It's a shame. There are, and have been, some great distance runners in the Baton Rouge area.
