Flory PRs, heads to NCAAs!
Here's Simon gettin' crazy, somewhere in the City of Angels.
Simon Flory (DePauw University senior and FBTCs resident super-freak) ran 4:13.83 to place 29th in the men's mile at Notre Dame's Alex Wilson Invitational. This time qualifies the "Shaman-lover" for the NCAA Div. III Championships to be held at U. Wisconsine-Whitewater on next Friday-Saturday, March 12-13.
This just in: Flory has been screwed by the NCAA, who added a full 2 seconds to his time because it was run on ND's oversize 300m oval. Can you say "BS"?
