We will be going live right when the meet ends to break it down for you on your favorite socia media platform. If you can't catch it live, join the SC.
was that Plant or Cohen who tripped the Indiana guy. will there be a protest?
UNDER REVIEW. uh oh
I think he might be in a spot of bother. Its obviously inadvertent BUT, when you are moving diagonally across the track at any time you just have to be more careful. It’s the risk you run - cool, you get to run in lane one and have the whole race in front of you but the trade-off is you have to be more careful - you can’t be involved in ending someone’s chance to win this race.
This sucks because I think he was the best guy (clearly) today - but I think this has to be a DQ
It is interesting he made it harder for himself in running from lane 4 at the top of the straightaway to middle of lane 2. Still better than Whitmarsh having to weave through guys.
I think he went wider as a reaction to contact with Marshall (and yes I think there was contact, but it was purely accidental/not DQ-able as he and Marshall were both moving out) and then it’s a natural inclination to drift back closer to the body you’re racing.
In other news Auhmad Robinson provisionally DQed for going out of his lane.
I am almost never for DQ’ing guys in the 800 - when people get upset about elbows and space on the track I find it laughable. But if you are the Indiana kid and you are lining up, running in a straight line and you get clipped by a guy running in a diagonal behind you off his own decision making and volition? There had to be a consequence for that. I hate it but there has to be.

Sahlman just didn't have it at the end, it's hard to imagine that he could have made a tactical choice that would have helped him much. He obviously gassed hard. As far as Waskom vs. Kessler, I think it just depends on the race. Apart from Nuguse, I don't think anyone is a lock, and Waskom is a total gamer.
The fact people keep of sleeping on Hocker is crazy, he has the endurance to run a 3:48 in May and he of course has his ridiculous kick which is second only to Beamish right now.
Ya, it's bizarre. A rare blind spot of Letsrun... he's got a 6th and 7th at global championships, and he's better than ever this year. And yet he's being grouped together with Joe Waskom?
