i was surpised at how few people rose to the bait on that one; figured everybody would
have an opinion.
I'm also surprised at how many people cited XC as an argument for Ritz. XC running
isn't remotely the same as track, and while Ritz clearly has had an upper hand in that
department, my money says that Webb cleans his clock on the track at 2M.
For a direct parallel, see Jim Ryun vs. Gerry Lindgren in the '68 NCAA Indoor 2M (the
only championship loss of Lindgren's college career). Speed wins at that distance.
