To ease certain Badgers' animosity about the athletic prowess of state denizens after the Bucks defecated on basketball courts in Wisconsin and Georgia over the (long) weekend, Chris Solinsky (Wisconsin '07), Stevens Point resident, and SPASH alumnus, set the national record in the 10000 meter run over the weekend with a time of 26:59.6. As Wisconsin media outlets are quick to point out, Solinsky is the first non-African to break 27 minutes in the 10k. That's like running a 13:30 5k, and then running a faster one. Just thinking about running that fast for that long instinctively makes me reach for a cigarette.
