Derrick the Baller!!!

2nd place is amazing?

He finally won something?!

CD is my hero. Big thong indeed.

How good can he be???

He takes down Rupp in 2 years!!

Derrick earned my respect last night.

Tonight he impressed me even more.

Usually I don't reward the loser but I was very impressed with his run.

could someone who has access to the live feed explain how it went down?

Maybe not ANY years in the 5000.

Derrick just ran 7:46.

Rupp ran 7:57 in Albuquerque.

I see the NCAA altitude adjustment difference between Albuquerque and Billings MT (3100' compared to 2800' at Boise) as 8 seconds. Now Rupp used lousy strategy in Albuquerque and would have been closer if he sat on Lagat like Derrick did with Lalang.

Derrick's last:

800: 2:06

400: 56

200: 27!

He lost by 0.17. He was sitting there in perfect position to strike, but just couldn't seal the deal.

So what? this guy has major balls and does try to win, and trashed Sambu twice, any other year and folks would be drooling all over a 21 year old who is made to be better

I can think of a certain 21 year old Kenyan who was (not should be) hearing footsteps.

Big thong is the whole package.

he lost, he has no heart.

letsrun is so racist omg phuck this site

Well, there are some racists here, some uber nationalists, some right wing nut jobs, some left wing nut jobs (me!), no doubt some homophobes, but fortunately there are also lots of people who want to talk about running and racing because they love the sport.

I'd be willing to bet that you NEVER reward the loser OR THE WINNER. My guess is that you are completely irrelevant to both.

Well, looks like Derrick will be jumping the shark soon. People are putting the beating Rupp curse on him, jinxing him, which is what happened to German (he was going to take Rupp "downtown" in a 5000m race.. 3 years ago), Lukas V, and others.
