The trials will be a minute slower and he will not outkick woody. Should be fisher, kincaid, then nico (am i missing anybody? not klecker. lol)
Ahmed and Woody probably not training for a sharp close right now either. Nico is the only one in the field is who is really sharp, because he just went through NCAAs. What he is doing is awesome, but he is not in a similar spot to those guys in his training.
He should switch citizenship to get an automatic birth. Maybe with his personal life Bahrain or Qatar wouldn't be possible, but El Salvador has an investment citizenship program.
Checked every box on what makes this a hell site. Of course, Let's Run won't bother to take this down. Just your run-of-the-mill homophobia and defamatory accusation with zero merit.
I disliked Ruppergalen’s post. But where did Ruppergalen express the hatred of which you accuse him with “homophobia?”
Outkicked Mo Ahmed and Woody Kincaid in a tactical sub-27 race. This must make him a favorite for the Olympic team, given that he just beat every contender in the US besides Fisher, who got him by .7s.
Also big shoutout to Habtom Samuel also going under the old collegiate record in 26:53. The NCAA is crazy deep right now. You can argue about the shoes as much as you want, but Nico just outkicked an Olympic Silver medalist in a sub-27 race 1 week after 8k of hard racing. He is a historically great NCAA athlete, and Samuel was 1s behind him.
Fisher is probably still a little better than him and I'm not sure how he'll fare against Kincaid in a tactical race, but otherwise his only competition for the Olympic team is Klecker who he dispatched pretty easily today. It's looking good for him this summer if he can keep this fitness up.
Fisher demonstrated that he's far above everyone else today. 0.7 ahead when he didn't even kick until 150m to go is pretty devastating. To be honest, I don't even think it was a true race effort for him based on how it looked.
That said, Young is the future of American distance running.
The collegiate season(s) and coaching from Mike Smith seem to be working pretty well for him. Why not (as suggesred above) run a limited season of a few mile races, the DMR at Penn, and the 5000 regionals and NCAA, then the trials?

Not far off Fisher's best ever mark. I'd call it a race effort. A very nice win.
As for NY, 26:52.7 at 21/8mos is beyond great. I agree, the future in this country,

Nico closed his 5k last week in just over a 6’ 2k. Only Fisher can handle that smoke. If Nico maintains or builds on this fitness come summer, he and Fisher can heat up the distance races in a way that no one else can handle. I see them as tactically potentially allied in a way that could just leave one spot open for the rest of the US guys in both the 5 & 10. Just because it’s tactical doesn’t mean that Nico & Fisher are going to let the race play into Woody’s hands.
