It puts him #16 in the world this outdoor season, #2 among Americans. He also won the race over a deep domestic/regional field (Sean McGorty 10th in 3:36.85, Kessler and Ferlic 11th/12th), moving from 8th to 1st with a 54.9 last lap. It’s also just 3 tenths off his personal best.
So he won over McGorty, a 5000/10000 guy, a high schooler, and a steeplechaser whos not even the fastest steeplechaser in the US? I don't get the excitement.
We all know he's a distant #3 in America. What are those converted mile times again?
converts to about a 4:53... just a few seconds faster than you... you're close... I understand why you're unimpressed
