Levins may have mentally peaked at Commonwealth, perhaps Salazar had him physically peaked for that as well. He's not been with the program that long yet so there could still be some adjusting.
Mead has always had ups and down it seems, but he ran much better last week.
Also, while were asking what's going on with these guys, how about the following:
12 Alamirew , Yenew ETH 13:20.81
13 Gebrhiwet , Hagos ETH 13:22.18
14 Merga , Imane ETH 13:25.33
15 Hill , Ryan USA 13:27.58
These Ethiopians would have been favorites for top 3 spots in any diamond league over the past several years, and really to win them (absent Farah) but they are getting crushed. We are talking guys who run like 7:27 & 12:48, 7:30 & 12:47 and 12:53 & 26:48 respectively!!! Gebrhiwet and Merga have Intl championship medals on the track and in XC. These are guys that in 2011 some people were saying Rupp would never beat.
As for Ryan Hill, not nearly as poor a performance but after indoors you would have thought a slow race like this with a kick finish would have been his for the taking. The Brojos would have predicted he could take down Rupp in this kind of race. Has he been injured? Seems to me he should have been in it with 800 to go.
Lastly, where are Lopez Lomong and Chris Derrick?

Apparently Chris Derrick had an injury.
