What's Gregorek's schedule?

He was in the race.

He needed a qualifier and then he's on the team.

He finished the race without coming close to the qualifier.

Is he also running again on Thursday? I really don't know.

He has it already

Okay, it's all making sense. You must be an "old school fan" and don't really follow the sport much anymore. Not a put down by any means, it just helps me understand your perspective.

Gregorek needs the qualifier?!? C'mon, Star!

But how pathetic is it we can't qualify three men in the 1500?

Yet another falsehood.

The US has more than 3 qualifiers currently and will send 3 to London. The only question currently is which 3.

Wrong. There are two: Centro and Gregorek. Blankenship is a soft third since he didn't even place top eight.

Who else are you thinking of?

From my own personal experience, I will say that running for time is a much different game mentally than running for place, especially in the 1500. It can be weirdly alienating, focusing purely on time rather than those around you, and can make it hard to summon quite the same energy, adrenaline, and focus.

He had a personal pacemaker to take him perfectly on pace. He let the personal pacemaker go.

Did he forget during the first lap the objective of the race for him?

I just don't know how much more perfectly it could have been set up for him.

A previous post already said you don't need to be top 8. Go back and read it. I don't know what the truth is. Do you?

Such a horrible attitude, and very telling of our future. There is ALWAYS an advantage to finishing.

Got to love the "Monday morning" time-trialing.

Things always seem so clear from the sofa.

No, things all seem so clear after having run for Coach Vigil for 4 years at Adams.

Guess he qualified with an indoor mile time.

I still say that an all out 1500 on Sunday doesn't harm your efforts the upcoming Thursday.

It's not a 10,000

You really need to read the qualifying methodology. Blankenship has a qualifier. Murphy has a qualifier. Blankenship finished ahead of Murphy. He goes if no one in the top 8 other than Gregorek and Centro meets the standard.
