I feel bad for the guy, but he didn't run well. And, honestly, in his post-race interviews I thought some of his comments about the 800m sounded like wishful thinking at best, and delusional at worst. I can't see him making the team in the 800m.
Why do jackwagons start tread with "Goes home Devasted?" Schadenfreude is a bad look.
OP back here. I kinda forgot he's entered in the 800m. I give him a decent chance because he's good enough to make the finals, and his biggest threats are daily 400/800 runners who will be gassed in the final compared to him (Miller and Jewett).
I leave Hoppel out of that because to me he's the clear favorite to walk away with the USA title
I want Holt to qualify in the 800. He is clearly the GOAT of T&F.

$20 at all fast food restaurants in California, Eric would have his pick of franchises.
His kick, unfortunately, just didn't look there, even in rd 1. Still hope he gets a contract -- he's everything right with the sport. Hard worker, believes in himself, keeping the dream alive, etc.
That workout video they did of 600-400-400-600 all @ 800 pace w./ a bunch of float 200s in between looked like a lot. Seems like you see something closer to 1200 broken up @ 800 pace. 600s are a grind at max effort, especially with the 400s in between. Could've just been a little flat. Dude ran 3:34-flat 2 weeks ago.

The 1500 was just a warmup for the 800!!
Guarantee a first round crashout @1:47
Eric Holt is the embodiment of, "Trying too hard".

The old system they based their stuff off (Gags) would use things like 600-400-200-200-200-200 at 800 pace or a lil faster
That seems a lil more reasonable
He didn't run well? The cat dropped a 3:35 1500m, then came back like a day later and rank a 3:39. Only on letsrun.com can a 5:00 1500m runner (or slower) write that Holt "didn't run well" and "feels bad for the guy". He is a 3:51 miler!
Holt just isn’t much of a kicker. Probably would have done much better in the second semi running closer to all out from the gun. He’s probably still not going to beat guys like Hocker, Nuguse, Kessler in a final, but at least he would have been there. He does seem to be a bit of a workout warrior.
Network played up the cry baby story, now time to get a job. Dam good runner. Good for the sport. But that interview after NTC was pathetic.
Hes done bum dude should stop letting his girl pay for all his meals and get a real job

You’re probably describing yourself. Classic projection.
That's my story. What's wrong with it? My wife works and get to train.
Holy just Trent have the mick needed to make a National team. His talent level is a notch below the elite Americans.

couldn't agree more. i'm so tired of him playing victim. also, he could also join a real club with real money and real support. enough of the cry baby stuff. he's a victim to his own decisions.
