You think Jager will run 1:52mid, despite running 1:50 after the 1000m two weeks ago?

You think people have to run faster every time they line up?

Is this Manzano? German? Webb? AJ? Or is this someone who's running a 800, fresh, and has been consistent. Jager is not someone I count on sh*tting the bed. If you do, why don't you give a reason?

Bump

Good to see Tegenkamp back on the track, I hope he breaks 8. Thought the move to the marathon was a silly move for someone who has broken 13 and has come in fourth at the WC's for 5000m.

Also hope German breaks 8 too- unfortunately watching him the past few years has been like watching Webb in his final years. Let's hope for a sub-8 as well

He was capable of that time when he was (still) in college (not yet turned pro). His achievements in the steeple chase and astonishing current physique suggest capability for all of track distance (800m - 5000m).

The real question is, I thought Tegenkamp was retired, after an ambiguous foray into the half/full marathon. Who knows what is happening now. But gosh, those were exciting days when he ran 8:07 two-mile (outdoor). Still the American record, right?

All I know is that I was at the QFC near the track tonight and saw some hot track gals buying food lol

No reason. Can't knock it out of the park every time. Please feel free to leave your own predictions.

I think Bumbi will be good for 7:42 or so. No idea about Teg or GF. Could see both finishing just behind Bumbi or running 8:0x.

Where did Jäger run 1:50? I missed that.
