Bowerman Mile: My Unhinged Take

Winners:

Jakob - You see how happy he was after the race? You ever think you’d see him so happy about second place? For all this talk about Kerrs kick, Jakob didn’t lose a step on him the last lap. He didn’t pull into lane 2 on the home stretch thinking Kerr would kick it in, only to find out that WAS Kerrs kick. Jakob is not worried and will be the clear winner in Paris as the rounds will do Kerr no favors

Gourley - Been running 6 weeks after lots of injury, overtaking Wightman at the line. 6 Weeks. If a Brit wins in Paris, it will be Gourley.

Kessler - Had he finished, it would have been back with Hocker and would have hurt his confidence. DNFing p*ssed him off and the dude will be HUNGRY. My pick to win the US trials.

Losers:

Kerr - Dude barely beat a half-trained Jakob but celebrated like he had gone Super Saiyan. Dude has never been on fire like this and the only thing growing more than his confidence is his head. Jakob will grind him down on lap three in the Paris final and he’ll poop the bed to finish outside the medals after burning out from a long stretch of firing on all cylinders

Teare - Yeah, Yeah , Yeah, he TRIPPED (didn’t fall), so there is an excuse except for the fact the guy that actually fell, while running his off event, got up and beat him. Teare needs to focus on the 5K and drop the 1500. If he doesn’t, he’ll miss the team in both.

Nuguse - This guy is a wimp. I don’t know how else to say it. Even interviewers know it because they ask him about Pokémon and Taylor Swift and he clearly gets more excited about that than running. He’s actually worse than Athing Mu who also doesn’t like running because at least she refuses to do it most of the year unlike Yared who is probably too scared to tell anybody no.

Thats my take. Maxwell Gem, OUT.

I like your Kessler take, I think we’ve seen a generational talent growing the past few years but this past year or so we are witnessing the birth of a monster. More excited to see what he does at the Olympics 4 years from now more than this year though.

I just want to add that Nuguse is a really nice person, he has immense talent, however he might not have the nasty killer instinct to win it all.......he is not a wimp though.
