First off, Joe Simon or whatever his name is doesn't count as pro. Second off, the meet always hypes up and then no one breaks 4:20. Dont believe the hype. That track sucks anyway.
Meet is at Wisconsin Lutheran College this year. It is a great track. The meet includes an elite 5k this year and a true elite mile as well as DMR and 3200. Maybe you didn't realize that everyone across the country is looking for a meet. As far as past results, 4:01 in 2019. 4:00 in 2018.

You should secure a track facility and host your own meet if you can do so much better, why so much hate?

Oh yippee skippy! Right in the heart of an old racist town and there to celebrate their white flight and hatred of homosexuals.

It's all very simpl. If they live stream the race, they don't get money. If they upload it to YouTube, get thousands of views, they get money. Don't give me anything about how it was restricted to stream, but somehow not restricted to record and upload a few days later.
Sad that whether we get to watch our favorite athletes perform or not depends on if they have enough money to survive. Although, you'd think with it being Nike and BTC, they wouldn't have to worry about money from YT.
36 year old mother of two Keira D'Amato would have gone sub-15 in that 5k for sure. She should get sponsorship.

Videos released, dumb dumb.
Looked like 25 seconds and change for last 200 m

If by "25 seconds" you mean "31-3 seconds", you are correct.
55 point last lap, of which 25 point last 200 m

Math is problematic for you.

Very clear in the video with one lap to go they come through in 12:16/12:17. The announcer says I think it was 12:16 through the bell or even 12:17 or 12:18
Not as clear in the video where they cross the 200 m to go mark 12:45/12:46
Why do you feel compelled to make a negative statement directed at me? I am a track and field fan and want to think and hope for the best for these amazing athletes and applaud their efforts. It is my estimation, that yes, they ran the last 400 m in 55 point and the last 200 m in 25 point. Looking at the video again maybe 26 point for the last 200 m but difficult to know exactly give or take a second.
What does your math tell you?

Don’t waste your time. Last 200 was 25/26. Why people are such @$$holes these days is beyond me. They’re blatantly wrong, and then double down on their mistake. It’s bizarre.

People that make false statements, fail to take the time to learn if their or the other persons information is correct or not, and then double down along with a negative accusation; it is those people that need to be called out.
I was very impressed with this TT/race and the others that the Bowerman track club put on. The sport of track and field in the USA hopefully took the results as a big positive in a not so positive year. As well, the intra club races that OTC and Nike’s Pete Julian’s group put on was great to watch. Great to watch Donavan Brazier expressively finish his 1500 m and can’t wait to see him run his specialty 800 m and give it a go at 400 m. Just like I look forward to the Bowerman athletes hopefully racing again at different distances.
By the way track fans; the last 200 m of the men’s 1500 m in the OTC/Julian’s meet was closed in approximately the same time as the Bowermans men’s 5 km. The 400 m last lap was 52 point compared to 55 point. Both distances final laps and 200 m were world class. I fully understand that the pace leading up to the final lap had an impact on the close; however neither race was being jogged and the pace of the 5km was close to a couple of the runners personal bests and considerably faster then the personal bests of a couple of the runners in that race. So for them the pace was fast leading up to the bell. The athletes we were lucky to be able to watch race have an incredible efficiency in their stride and body movement that makes their effort look effortless.
Same holds true for the women athletes we were lucky to have been able to watch. In those events 1500 m and 5km the ladies ran incredibly fast to their and their coaches delight and to our pleasure. The BTC group of US women are perhaps the best group middle/distance runners ever assembled under one professional group for the USA
For some of these athletes, they posted personal records in their first outdoor race this year or showed great fitness and speed which is a massive positive for them, confirmation that they are on the right track (ha ha), and was fun to watch.
Long winded in my response because I am super excited for these athletes and will keep looking for positives from other people healthy efforts rather than look for negatives.
Thanks Nike athletes and coaches.
