More great results by OAC with Andrews in 6th. Have to be impressed with Ritz and OAC at this meet. No other distance-oriented team is even close to these results.
btw - every US based team has international athletes
RITZ is objectively having an INCREDIBLE World Championships

Gebreselama - qualified in 10k, didn't run well.
Farken - 6th in the world in the 1500
Hurta-Klecker - 800m finalist
Better than every other USA based distance coach BY FAR.
Add Sage HK 5th - 1:55:89 and Ky Robinson 4th in the 5000m. Very successful champs for OAC

Yeah, since the OP I think Sage 1:55) and Ky (4th) WAY overperformed peoples expectations. Can anyone name a more successful group this year in the US? How many in the world?

Overperformed because they’re all dopers like the rest of the top in the field.

So it's not an advantage?

So just to summarize:
Farken: 6th in 1500
Beamish: Gold in 3000SC
Robinson: 4th in 5000
Hurta-Klecker: 5th in 800
Andrews: 6th in 5000
Not everyone on the team may have had a good year, but those that did make Worlds certainly peaked well.

Just out of interest, does anyone know if there's any context to this quote by Hocker? Was he asked a couple of questions at once? It's a bit of a weird collection of sentences
“I felt like I raced perfectly. Every time I run the 5,000m I am pushed out of my comfort zone. I felt here that I was working every lap. I make music on my computer and play some guitar and piano. Now I want to eat a lot of Japanese food. I just want to eat and drink.”
From The Guardian's report

I agree, they're by far the most successful group in (at least) America right now, no one quite compares as of 2025.
We do hear a lot about Eyestone's group, and they've been doing great. One group I don't see mentioned enough here but is quickly rising is Puma Elite, quietly getting a lot of wins. Sharing an Alistair Cragg post highlighting some.
