Knight ran 12:51 last year on a perfect day. Could Fisher and Grijalva do that?
I hope Grijalva is running. I for sure thing Fisher can run that, he is a smart runner. If Grijalva is running, stick to Fisher and a very good result we occur.
Wow ! Super run by Fisher.
Also so happy for Grijalva 13:02.94. Really a great run for him because of his DACA status not knowing if he can travel to compete.
It must have been super hard to stay motivated while training not know if you can compete.
A Northern California fan is super happy for Grijalva who gone his running start at Armijo HS in Northern California.
Pacing lights are such a game changer for these fast races. Pretty much guarantees the pace will be hot untill 3K and as long as someone keep following the lights during the 4th K it will be a quick finishing time. So many times these DL races would get derailed with poor and uneven pacing, and then guys would back off after the pacers drop.
10k and now 5k records. Grant Fisher is the man. that was impressive!!
So many performances to call out here:
Krop was awesome. He led the last 1300+? And squeezed it down perfectly.
Grant ran aggressively and great. Deserved PB.
Ebenyo and Grijalva attacked the race heroically. Ebenyo is now clearly in monster shape. Grijalva maybe cost himself a bit running so hard so early but still nice Pb.
Kipkorir Kimeli even not at his best running 12:50 is something.
Lobalu 12:52 is the real deal and will be a factor next year.
McSweyn finally the 5k PB that makes sense.
Almgren? Wow.
Thierry, Klecker, Woody and Mburu probably the only guys disappointed. I’m not sure why those 2 Americans didn’t go out more conservatively.
