"Teare and Hocker expected to go even faster and secure the Olympic 'A' standard, which is 13:13.50 – faster than Billy McChesney Jr.'s Oregon school record (13:14.80).
The pace dragged near the mid-point and Teare went to the front at two miles, sooner than he would have liked.
"It was a little slow through 3K," Teare said. "I didn't want to go out in front when I did, but sometimes you've got to step up to the plate and take some of the work."
