Hail Lagat 3:54.91!!! New masters mile record. That's THE real story.

A well-under 3:40 1500m is in hand for Lagat if he stays well.

I was surprised to see that, after Willis and Centro, Jager actually had the fastest last 200m. Hopefully this bodes well for his steeple finish

Yea, and Willis is running the fastest times of his life at 30/31.

What is he on? The Regina Jacobs sauce?

Um are you saying 30/31 is old? It not. I'm the strongest, fastest and healthiest of my life at 32. These days 30/31 is like 27-28 30-40 years ago. If you stay injury free 29-31 is when you SHOULD be running your fastest times!

Let me guess, you never broke 17min right? You're 36 right? Don't be sour. Ass...

They were supposed to be officially timing the 1500 split so that's already happened, if they actually did.

Smooth fast start and to me he looked really nearly not troubled at all to hold off Willis (who btw made a mistake in hanging so far back imo).

Are we to expect an amazing outdoor season?

I wonder what Centro could run for a 5000. 13:10?

Everyone has a personality.

Everyone should just quit running - I mean every person in the world, because every record ever set and every "fast time" ever run has been due to doping. People don't actually run -- there are secret little doper machines that actually do the running.

There, now can we move on?

That about sums it up.

There's this FB guy who comments about how 90% of all world class athletes are doping.

I don't know where he gets his stats from (ok, I DO know- his imagination).

But, the bottom line is- you have the give the benefit of the doubt to the athlete until he/she is caught.

Otherwise- watch football, there's no doping there! LOL

I've been running, watching, coaching, and officiating track for a long azs time and good lord everything about this Centrowitz screams dope dope DOPE!!! I start to have flashbacks of FloJo and Regina every time I see him race. What a chump.

Can you elaborate? Are you as suspicious of Willis as well? I'm certainly a little skeptical of all professional athletes, but Centro has a top high school runner, NCAA champion, World medalist… 3:51 at Millrose does not seem out of the ordinary for his talent level.

Whilst the rest of the world's medalist (including the east African ones it turns out) need talent and pharma to win medals, Centro and the rest of the NOP simply work harder.

Please shut up. Just....for the love of god, please. There is nothing more annoying than someone arguing against an imaginary audience. The ONLY comments about doping on this thread so far have been directed towards Matthew Centrowitz. At no point has anyone on this thread stated what you just stated, or even hinted at it. So who exactly is your sarcasm directed at? People like you don't even want the possibility of a civil discussion.

It's like you read the thread and say to yourself, "Hmm. Looks like no one has accused Africans of doping yet, nor have they made any comments that glorify NOP other simply stating it was a good time and a good race. I guess I better jump in and start something or else this discussion might stay friendly and rational."

WTF happened to Will Leer??????????

A-pos centro is a doper. Not a smidgen of doubt about that.

Daniel Winn is the other Oregon runner who went 3:57 at an Indoor meet in Seattle today. He broke Mac Fleet's Oregon school record, no small feat. Then just minutes later, he lost his record when both John Gregorek and King Cheserek broke Winn's record. It was a very big day for Oregon runners as they were setting records both in Seattle and NYC on the same day.

I spoke with Daniel shortly after his record setting run. He was upbeat and laughing about the fact that he'd probable hold an Oregon record for the shortest amount of time ever. He was totally laughing about it. Great kid.

Jager is a sublime athlete to watch run, and a natural steepler, going to be exciting to see him these next 2 years.

i think the Daniel Winn Record holding thing is hysterical

He can legitimately go into any bar anywhere and say to anyone, I WAS the Oregon Indoor Mile School Record Holder(for like 1:15 minutes I think)

I also like the way Centrowitz ran this mile especially. It is great to see a guy dominate from the front, when no one else takes on any part of the pace, and then hold on when challenged, never giving in to the tape. And I am a pretty big Willis fan. It was a pretty impressive run.

I'm really, really happy to see Centrowitz running so well.

For the last few years on the Diamond League circuit he's been consistently running lots of races, but has only been middle of the pack at best. Now it looks like he's gotten better, so hopefully it'll translate to the outdoor season. I WANT TO HAVE AN AMERICAN TO CHEER FOR IN THE 1500M ON THE DIAMOND LEAGUE CIRCUIT WHO LEGITIMATELY HAS A CHANCE TO WIN, and hopefully Centro is it.

Probably not going to happen. He'll win a gold medal at Olympics before he becomes a contender in fast DL races. Just don't see him being in the mix if its a 3:27~ race up front. Or a 3:47/48 mile. Indoor suits him because he's small, he might not run much faster outdoors

You've gotta be kidding, this is straight-up Orwell shit.

Anonymous internet posts are not taken seriously enough to harm anyone's reputation. Let alone whether anyone's reputation is worth millions of dollars. This is another example of frivolous tort out of control, lawyers out to destroy the web.

The lawyers brought suit on behalf of their clients. And a jury didn't think that the claims were frivolous. As usual, you've no idea what you're talking about.

Just because 12 people didn't think it was frivolous, doesn't mean that the court of public opinion agrees or that those 12 were right. So, torts, you don't know what you're talking about.
