Jager has the best 1500m PB of the three, and andrews has about the same PB as Blankenship....

Andrews is no longer a scalp to brag about (4:03?), and Jager is worthless in a 1500m that goes through 1200m in 2:58.
And yes, Andy passed in 2007.
3rd place for Ben is awful. I can't believe he stuck with it through the end of the year even though he didn't make it to worlds. Unimpressed by his dedication and his ability to bounce back, his decision to fly across the pond and race. All he could do is 3:55. There's a dozen guys on this thread alone that can run 3:55. WEAK.

Now THAT is someone who is inspired!

By the way, what else would you expect him to do? Track is his JOB. That's what he does for a living. That's why he gets a Nike stipend. Even though his heroics have you inspired, wouldn't you expect him to show up to races?

Again, Jager is worthless in a race that goes out in 2:58-3:00. His strength is his strength. Despite the best pr in the field, he lacks raw speed. Unfortunately, I think you missed my point. Were you at least inspired by our brooding and heroic speedster that notched a 3rd place?
You've now posted about 64 times in this thread, and I've yet to see a single legitimate criticism about what BB should have done differently other than the obvious implication of "running better". You mean it would have been better if he'd won? No shit. He was having a lousy season and probably phoned it in after USAs and the summer series. Oh well.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
