Will Teg or Solinsky break 13:00 now that Ritz has?

YES YES AND YES!!! Congrats to Teg... an absolutely brilliant race. Made moves when he had to, put himself in position to break 13:00 and finished it off! What a great week for American distance running!

Didn't Bekele bitch slap him a bit, though? Hopefully there will come a day where a sub-13:00 5000 by an American won't be a major event.

You guys show a lot of disrespect to a 5k record that lasted 13 years and couldn't even be bested by a 3:26 1500 meter runner over the past couple years.

Oops! This was a time for a sub thirteen prediction. It looks like I was a second off. I had Teg getting between BK and Ritz's times. But that makes up for me predicting around thirteen oh eight for ritz, with the possibility of falling apart to thirteen eighteen. (my number keys are out).
