Kinda confused why he’d run the 10k at the trials. He doesn’t have the standard and they won’t go for it at the trials, he doesn’t have a world ranking, and he’s never shown a kick good enough to beat any of the main players if he’s just looking for a championship.
I know there’s 6 days between the 10k and 5k prelims so it’s whatever but it seems like the 10k can only serve to make him less likely to perform well in the 5k.
Not everyone, men or women have or will even try to get the standard, let alone hope to get to Paris. These are the trials, and our national championship... Most of the runners are just happy to get to the trials and do as well as they can...and where dream may come true...
