I have no idea but I wish him the best. I just hope his health issues are a thing of the past and he can really find out now and in the years to come what he is capable of.

High 7:50s. When he ran 7:47 he was being pushed by Coe. Without legit competition it's hard to run a good solo 3k. Especially after coming back from multiple issues. I do see him breaking 8 though unless someone trips him.
With that said - I'm still sticking with a 3:35 prediction for spring/summer (assuming he won't get injured). Dorian Ulrey ran 3:35.23 during the same year that German beat him multiple times.

You apparently have no idea who is listed to start with him for this 3k. Look it up. Then rethink the phrase "without legit competition".
He'll run 7:52 or so. Then the Brojos will declare the time "aided" so not eligible for NCAA qualifying because of the oversize track.

Ever hear of Sam Chelanga?
Are you saying last year's Coe is clearly stronger in the 3k than this year's Chelanga?
7:48 for the win. He is super fit.
I predict he misses the WCCC again.
I believe he will run the same time that Rudy Chapa ran in 1979....................for answer look up the May 1979 Track and Field News with Rudy and AlSal on the cover.
Bold prediction, oldoldrunner! I like your optimistic.
I predict 7:45.61.
7:46
I've been out of the loop for a while, but based on what you guys were saying a while back he's definitely sub-13 in the 5k by this point. Sub-7:35 is a possibility!
