This fast time by Centro is actually bad news for Rupp. I don't see how Rupp makes the World Indoor team at 3k after the marathon if Centro is in there.
Now I never thought Rupp would run 3:50 in the mile but at some the laws of physiology need to take over. How could he possibly rock at 3k just a few weeks after the marathon?

In the post race interview Centro said that there's a good chance that he may run the 3K at US Indoor Championships. Whatever they think will be his best chance to medal.
Centro only runs the 3000m if Rupp decides not to participate
So Wheating is gonna run the 800 soon. What do you tihnk would be a good time for him? A big guy, the 800 might on a banked track may not be ideal for him.
Remember the year he ran 3:30, he got beat by freshman Robby Andrews at NCAAs.

Here's how he did indoors the last few years that hes' run it.
2009 1:47.03 OTi 1 Seattle WA 14 Feb
2010 1:46.36 OTi 1rB Seattle WA 13 Feb
2015 1:48.47 OTi 3 Seattle WA 14 Feb
Before we get to excited about Wheating, we should remember he was running 1:48 this time last year and then totally stalled out.
I want to see a dominant win or a 1:47.

Damn the 800 isn't for another hour. I'm going to bed. 20 year olds, I know you won't even go out until the race is over. Just wait 20 years.
Can someone post the results for the key races here like I"ve been doing? I think people who aren't watching find it quicker to catch up that way.

2.6 seconds ahead of Trevor Dunbar does not seem overly impressive for a world-class 1500/miler. Sorry - happy for Matt to get the W but I really don't see how this translates into anything more than a meaningless win against overmatched competition.
1) A win's a win baby
2) He PRed by 6 seconds
3) Beating Trevor Dunbar is a big deal. I wish I could!
4) How fast can you even run let's be serious XP
7:40 is solid indoors. Consider that the current world leader is 7:39.20 by Augustine Choge.
Did he really lead wire to wire (as Flotrack) indicated? If so that makes a 7.40 more impressive!
Blankenship was the rabbit and took him through about 1800 meters. After that he was in the lead by himself.

You have it exactly backwards: the fact that Dunbar was that close shows that he's in awesome shape, not that Centro's not.
It's a great result for Centro, an awesome one for Farrell and Dunbar.
Feel like Centro could have gone faster with a rabbit there longer (7.37-ish). When he was left on his own, the wheels really came off.
yeah i think this might be Dunbar's best mark at any distance, indoors or out
3:38 and 13:26 are his best marks to my knowledge, this has to be in that range or better
Both of those times would've been top-10 in the world indoors last year.

7:40 is a solid world class time anywhere, anytime.
