Abdihamid Nur 13:06, Nico Young 13:11

That was Adrian Wildschutt from FSU actually, he ran 13:09 at Boston this indoor season. Technically only Rono, Nur, Lalang and Wikldschutt are the only collegians under 13:10.

It's difficult for me to think of a BYU athlete who has improved post-collegiately and been in the mix nationally. Jared Ward and ... ?

It doesn’t help that they’re often graduating at age 24-25 with multiple years of high-altitude training. So they might be closer to their ceilings than most guys.

Here are BYU men distance/mid-distance Alumni that made the Olympics: https://byucougars.com/page/olympians

Jared Ward (2016), Josh McAdams (2008), Jason Pyrah (2000, 1996), Ed Eyestone (1992, 1988), Doug Padilla (1988, 1984), Henry March (1988, 1984, 1980, 1976), Paul Cummings (1984), Laman Palma (1976), Usuia Sotutu (1972),
Pekka Vassela (1972), Clarence Robison (1948)

Currently the following are competing nationally and have been doing well:

Conner Mantz, Connor McMillan, Rory Linkletter, Clayton Young, Nico Montanez, Abraham Alvarado. May have missed some.

In the past these folks competed nationally:

Bryan Lindsay, Josh Rohatinski, Kyle Perry, Miles Batty, Shaquille Walker. I'm sure I'm missing some.

There are several sprinters that made the olympics as well:

Frank Fredricks (2nd, 2nd, 2nd, 2nd, 4th), Leonard Myles-Mills, Kenneth Andam, Oluyemi Kayode (2nd in relay), Ralph Mann (world record holder-2nd), Saimoni Tamani

After college, they get married and focus on careers. That's changing though; watch out for Clayton Young in the marathon.

Super impressive but nothing more impressive than when Rono did it by himself in what I believe was a dual meet. Plus he didn’t have the spikes. That was next level running. Think about someone running 12:50 with no rabbit today.

Plus he was 26 years old.

Nur is 24. Young is 19.

Young's performance is the most impressive thing to come out of this race, although not unexpected due to all the hype that's been building around him over the past few years.

I remember when I thought that Rupp (13:18) was fast in college. Then when I thought that Ches (13:18) was fast in College. Then when I thought that Teare ran a fast 5000m (13:12) last year…

I guess that I was wrong all along.

What an incredible race. Great performances by multiple collegians.

Avinash Sable sets a new Indian record in 13:25. He’s a steepler who’s run 8:16 earlier this season.

Wasn't a PR for Mantz (was outdoors but he has a 13:10 indoors) but he ran a world championships qualifying time. I don't think that is so bad.

the generational bias here is exceptional. Again, I said it was super impressive. How can you even compare this to what Rono did? If you are just looking at the time then you are clearly ignorant. Rono did it without a rabbit and in spikes that could not compare to spikes 10 years ago let alone the rockets these guys are wearing. Please someone that is down turning my comment give me a rational explanation. How was this more impressive than what Rono did? Try to do some research rather than just spitting nonsensical information.

buddy youre just being a poopy pants, its not about whether youre right or not
