Jordan spoke after the 1500. Video here:
Despite being the final time qualifier for the final McNamara is not content to just be in the final. He wants to try and make the Olympic team and that means he needs to run under the Olympic standard of 3:36.20 in the final. To do that, Jordan says he has has to have another running working with him. He knows Izaic Yorks is a prime candidate saying, “Izaic if you're watching this bro, DM me on twitter.... let's make an alliance or somethingâ€. Jordan was clear what his intentions for the final were, “I don't really care to run here and run 3:50 for 7th, I'd rather give it an honest go or be last honestly. It's top 3 with the time or it doesn't matter... This is the Trials final.†When we confirmed Jordan viewed the final as a chance to make the Olympics and not just a US final he said, “"What do we train for?â€
But he knows he can’t hit the time without some help. “You can't do it alone. You need help, you need cooperation, so the people who don't have the standard and want to give it an honest go contact me and maybe we can work something out.â€
