Little q's to Holt, Cohen with another huge kick, and Alvarado (1:44.44 PB!)

The People's Champ is in the final

Man, if Cohen can build the fitness to stay mid-pack at the last 100 he'll be world-class, that kick is absurd. And congrats to Holt, it looked ugly but he got through

yea cohen looks good for a slow final

Shane Cohen needs to, like, kick 3-4 seconds earlier and he could make the team on sunday

Puma sponsored the right man! Love Holt’s reaction!

I think we’ll see a 1:42 high final. Hoppel didn’t look spent at all.

Easiest athlete in track and field to root for

Eric Holt! I have no idea how he runs that fast.

It's not a kick. His splits are close to even giving it the illusion of acceleration.

Absurd is right. 12.34 for his last 100 in a PB race.

Wow so out of hoppel, miller, Kessler, and Murphy, who gets left off the team?

With the 800, seems to be a tactical error is what leaves you off

I could see it going

1. Hoppel

2. Kessler

3. Miller

4. Cohen

5. Alvarado

with Murphy and Koech fading and Holt kicking for 6th. Too bad Cohen doesn't have the standard, but I'd be happy to see Alvarado go as a third

Cohen with another impressive kick but he probably shouldn't leave it so late

Holt probably wasted energy making a move too early but at least he made it and PR'd

Kessler almost looks like a lock for top 3

There's a good sweat elite video where he's running a Hobbs workout mostly it seems to keep him company. Hitting it hard wearing a light sweater.

Shacarri looking for a trash can so she doesn’t littler. Queen

Wottle

False. His penultimate 100 was 13.64 and his last 100 was 12.34, easily the fastest of his race (1:38.72 pace).

Incorrect. His last 100m was by far his fastest of the race. 12.34
