Konstanze Klosterhalfen's 31:01.71 German 10,000 National Record, Ajee Wilson's 1:58.93 Win Highlight Texas Qualifier

The event ended up being a bit of a misnomer as few qualifying times were earned as 11 days after 7 degree temps (-13.9 C) were in Austin, warm and humid conditions (73 degrees (22.9C), 65 dew point, 76% humidity) made fast times difficult in the long distance events. But Klosterhalfen and Wilson were impressive as was 5000 meter man Justyn Knight (3:36.62) who dropped down and spanked the milers in the 1500.

The Week That Was: NCAA Conference Madness, All Hail The SEC, A 15 Year Old Runs 1:47 and the Hotel 4x100

The quality of the NCAA track and field action in the year 2018 is insane. It's so good that collegiate superstars like Michael Saruni (1:43 pb), Grant Fisher (NCAA 5k champ), Justyn Knight (NCAA xc & more) and Karissa Schweizer (NCAA xc & more) all suffered losses at their conference championships last week.

The US Army's Emmanuel Bor Becomes 500th American to Break 4:00 in the Mile as Shadrack Kipchirchir (3:55) Holds Off Justyn Knight for the Win in Boston

Today, 60 years, seven months, and 26 days after Don Bowden first ran 3:58.7, Emmanuel Bor became the 500th American to break 4:00 with an eerily similar time - 3:58.77. Despite the sub-4:00 club's expanding membership, it remains a rare feat. Five hundred people (actually 501; Western Oregon's David Ribich joined the club three hours later) in a country of over 320 million represents an exceedingly small number. For comparison, there are more billionaires in the country (540 as of 2016) than sub-4:00 milers.
