Also quick shout outs to Sam Atkin as he finally broke 13 with 12:58.73, and credit to Nur, Beadlescomb, and especially Heymans for all running 13:03, Heymans seriously deserves a shoe sponsor for that run.
Nico was looking easy until the last 600. Well within himself. Maybe we underestimated Sound Running XC. 1-2 there smoke the heats of bigger name pros here
Should more Kenyans explore being based in the US? I don’t think Kurgat would rate that highly as far as a Kenyan talent, but now he has to be taken seriously for their 3rd slot in the 5,000 against guys who could’ve taken him to the woodshed at the junior level.
Massive pb from youngster Keita Sato. Japanrunningnews reported that Sato trained with the OAC lads in Boulder last year. Surely the charm offensive from Ritz & co is underway tonight.
Can see both Nico and Blanks under 12.40 outdoors. They were jogging their 5000's.
Going to take a sub-12.30 to make team USA. Then a couple of medals in Paris. 2 medals in 1500m. Gold in 800 if Brazier comes back, or Flatt/Sumner step up.
