In but in cross country, judging a competitor's worth is a whole different story.
"You can't judge your opponents by the times that are published. You have to run the same course, under the same conditions, with an exact judgment of your competition."

"We have a large group of runners and have real good practices despite the heat. But it is hard to tell how we are doing until we get into competition," he said.
Timmons predicted that Colorado, which won the conference last year with the lowest score ever in a conference meet, would overpower the Big 8 again this season.
