Lol. My absolute favorite thing about liberals (who know deep down they are wrong), is that they just make up personal insults out of thin air, comically at odds with reality.

Of course you would know that since you watch him train each day. If anyone has good finishing speed and wants others to think they don’t, they certainly aren’t going to show their hand in a bunch of meaningless leadups. To assume what you are seeing now is what the product will be on trials day shows you aren’t very knowledgeable about the sport.

You're right. All the greats let lesser runners beat them in early season races. Strategery.

I am not a Centro fan but he has to get around 2 athletes with 250 to go and in the last 100m neither Nico or Colin gained any additional daylight on him. 😳 Watch the video he closed just as fast as the first two finishers.

If LR had a betting section, I'd give you even odds Centro doesn't even make the finals in Eugene. If he does, I'd give you 20-1 he makes the top 6, and 50-1 he makes the Olympic team.

We'll circle back on the evening of June 24. Bookmark this, "Historyclass"

Honestly not surprising from Nico. But this is a big step foward for Centro, he may actually be a factor now at trials...

LRC Update: Last lap can be seen here:

4:20 is not that fast wrote:

It will probably take a closing lap of 53 to make the team, and experience has nothing to do with being capable of doing so. There will be plenty of room for the kickers and Centro can’t impede everyone.

I think Centrowitz could close a slower paced 1500 in 53, don’t you?

And the issue is whether Hocker, Hobbs, Nuguse and Teare can close even faster. At age 34(almost 35) the odds are against Centro.

See earlier post about all the other variables involved. Closing speed only one and not really the most important one in the trials. Not saying Centrowitz will win. But he will have fresh legs compared to many in that race which negates age to some degree. I would still refer you to the 92 trials and Spivey’s race against “much faster” younger runners.
