Hard to believe no one is talking about this. YEs, we're sure they just decided to let him have it but has anyone ever heard of a power conference meet having a 10k won where one runner laps the entire field?
Unreal.
Here's the kicker. A local newspaper says he lapped the entire field just 3600 meters into the race. Now that's hard to do: Was anyone there? What were the splits?
How is that possible?
