Heartbreaking. Was really rooting for him to sneak into 3rd, even if he doesn't have the standard.

That was all guts.
That man is an inspiration.
He may finish his career with nothing, but he deserves our respect.

It was dumb to even race the 10k because he is so far off the standard. He should have stayed fresh for the 5k where he's closer.
His mom doesn't understand the world ranking system.

1500 to 10k..... WTF?!?!?!?!

Why was it dumb for him to race the 10k?? He was that close to third and had a better shot at it then the 1500

The dude fought like hell, and looked he had been hurting from 4K to go. He definitely gave way more than anyone around him, and it was inspiring to see him give the 10K a go after being so locked in on the 1500 for years. That’s no easy jump.
I hope he enjoys a few races this fall with his recent breakthrough in fitness and consistent training.
God bless you, Drew!

Best 3 made the team. I wonder if things would have worked out differently for him under different training circumstances. So much talent. He is still very young so good luck to him.

Because even if he won he would not have made the Olympic team. He doesn't have the standard or the world ranking.

Awesome performance
Get the guy a better coach and training partners. He showed potential. There is more there.

I think folks that see a 3:35 13;08 guy run like that? And trash him? Should be ashamed of themselves

Hopefully this frees him up to go to Europe and run some fast times. Get in a fast 5000 and run 12:50. That’ll be a nice consolation prize.

Outside of the top 3 who qualified, the two guys i came away from tonight with the most respect for were Hunter and Colley. At least they made an effort to cover or make every move until the end.

Guy ran his heart out. Looked like a mess doing it too.
It’s really not good that everyone is saying “he ran the race of his life,” while running an even-paced 27:53. It’s 1:20 slower than Grant’s PR, and 1:00 slower than Nico’s.
Wish Grant was wearing a heart monitor. Good tune up for the 5K I guess.

Was a great rematch of the Brooks PR 2 mile from almost 10 years ago.

Understand your point, but a race is a race in the end, if that makes any sense. the hard thing still comes no matter what you did the previous 25 minutes, and mentally you have to tell your stupid legs to shutup and follow that guy that just inched away.
Case in point, Mantz is stupid fit but the sharp end of a 10000m came and only 4 guys (well, 1 then 3) were in it.747
