Polman to take down Prakel next year?
Ryan is the older Polman. He's a senior. Kyle is a junior, and there's another one that will be an 8th grader next year.
Polman to take down Prakel next year?
Ryan was nearly a minute faster than Sam today. Too bad he couldn't have peaked a tad earlier. His 15:20 on a difficult course was probably a safe 15:05 or faster at National Raceway.
Tough courses and bad conditions favor the Polmans since they're high mileage runners with huge aerobic capacity. NTR featured neither a tough course nor bad conditions.
the polman's play soccer and they also wrestle. they are your true 'student-athlete' i believe they start their training late because they're so busy with other sports so that's why ryan is peaking so late after the state meet. good luck to him at footlocker nationals!
i really don't know.. they're crazy though! i've spoken to kyle polman before and him and his brother make it to almost every soccer game which is really hard with workouts during the week. i guess it's just extra running, so it probably helps them in the end.
