Fresh off their speed work at Drake Relays last weekend, Chris Rombough and Hassan Mead will head to Stanford University on Saturday for a fast 5000 meter race at the Payton Jordan Invitational. You can find heat sheets for the meet HERE.

So, we ask you ...

Yes/No: Will a Gopher break the men’s outdoor school record of 13:44.30 in the 5000m at Stanford on Saturday?

Note: Chris Rombough is a 3-time all-American in cross country as well as a Big Ten champ. Rombough has run 13:51.71 for 5000m. Hassan Mead was a superstar at Minneapolis South before joining the Gophers in 2007. The sophomore all-American and Big Ten champ is well on his way to being one of the most decorated Gopher distance runners ever. Mead currently owns the 5k school record of 13:44.30.

Please put your answer in the subject line of the e-mail and make sure your full name appears somewhere in the e-mail. We will continue to offer a bonus for participants making their debut in Yes/No - a correct answer will be worth two points for any first-time players.

My Answer: Yes

Yes/No Update ... The question from two weeks ago -- "Will Carrie Tollefson run 4:35.00 or faster in the B.A.A. Invitational Mile" was answered correctly by 16 contestants. Tollefson encountered a very windy day and still ran a very solid 4:45 in Boston.

You can find the full Yes/No leaderboard HERE.

Good luck and thanks for playing Yes/No on DtB!
