    Does anybody else think this was a bad decision? Why would one of the top runners in the country not run NXN or FL given that it would have most likely been easy to qualify! He ran 15:00 at GACCF so he would have had no trouble qualifying for NXN and I'm sure the same could have been said for FL.

    Why not run those races and then rest the month of December and then start back up indoor in January?

    Is indoor really that important during December.

    It just doesn't make sense! I think this was poor, poor coaches decision that wasn't made in the interest of the athlete.

    What do you all think?
