What happened to Hobbs Kessler? He listened to Ron, who was never panicked, not ever, and for those that know Ron, he is one of the funniest and great guys to hang out with . He shut up, and followed the plan. My guess is based on this 2.2 or so second drop in about a week, he should approach 3:35.x soon. As Malmo alluded to on another thread. Kessler now has 3 of the top 8 U20 marks ever run All Time, and 2 of the top 3. .
