55.82 final lap from Kipkurui. Another boss finish.
This could be the beginning of something special - although something tells me this guy isn't gonna be an amateur in the NCAA for very long.
Actually, the beginning may have been the final k of this race:

I can't wait to see what Graham Blanks can do once he's graduated and is living at altitude. 26:57 guy still in college doing a bunch of the work for a sub-27.
Graham Blanks is signing autographs and taking photos with fans.
Fan: "You have the best personality of any distance runner."
Graham: "Thanks. But I'd gladly trade my personality for a better kick."
Yes, he really said that.

He’s run 27:14 on the track too. Has to be a shoo-in to get in on ranking you’d think.

he has the 5k standard from BU! He’s probably good for that if he just does the 5

Totally in line with what we’ve seen from his sense of humor.

And rankings will be tight this year because of all the people who have the standard. That .22 might keep him out of the race unless a lot of people scratch

after that 10K Elise Cranny now has to jump on a flight to Kingston to run a 3K and 5K next week. talk about putting your fitness to the test.

It does look like he is now #1 of guys without the standard, but yes only a few spots do that’s dicey if the XC/Area champs spots are used.

Kipkurui and Kemboi both freshmen. Dave Smith needs to follow New Mexico on their next recruiting trip to Kenya.
Shouldn't he just offer them NIL $$$$ and they are his? that's how it works in every other sport.

Clinger 8th in 27:11.00.
Well ahead of McGorty & Hunter.
Prior pr was 27:57.90 from May 2024.
May have had best pr improvement in the field.
Laugh/criticize all you want about his age while still in college; Casey is likely now the 5th best US 10,000 runner, chasing Fisher, Kincaid, Young, Blanks.
At USAs this summer, if Graham chooses just the 5000 while Woody's age catches up with him, Casey could be going to Tokyo, WA rankings permitting.

Yeah, that was the challenge she said pre-race she & Jared/coach were looking forward to figuring out.
Those Kingston races likely will be jogfests in the heat/humidity.
Elise's 67 close looked good tonight, but likely won't do squat again her GST competition.
Have no idea what the mindsets will be of the distance racers, men and women, regarding their first two Slams in Jamaica & Florida.

The Ahmed Muhumed who beat him by 8 seconds today is also American, he might be 6th best.

Ahmed Muhumed is American, as well - ahead of Clinger

It was also a major improvement from McGortys indoor results. He’s coming around.

Wow!!
Yes. Great catch.
Took pr from 27:57 to 27:03. Even more impressive improvement than Clinger.
He's not flying under the radar any longer.
NAZ Elite coaching change from Rosario to the young guy Mullaney has worked out great for him.

He has the most boring personality and looks like Screech from Saved By The Bell

Noticed that as well.
Not a pr tonight, but pretty close.
Sean's finally made it through full fall and winter training w/o injury.
His 3:58/mile and 7:47/3000 races were probably due to different/lighter training to keep him healthy. Jerry's changed things up a lot since the BTC haydays when everyone was either setting prs/world bests . . . or injured.
And, this may have been off no altitude training. Not sure, but from persing old BTC and athlete social media posts, don't think Jerry had them go up to Flagstaff this winter.
