Florida Gators - national team title champions. Coach Holloway is the greatest to ever do it.

I know the timing site has McElroy, but they put Benson on anchor -- hope news sites and others check the video on this

Graham Blanks won that race for Wolfe. he went early, delayed Nico's kick for a lap, allowing Wolfe to sit behind Nico and pounce. Wolfe owes Blanks a beer.

watched it again, it looked like Nico was ready to take off when Graham sprinted past and mucked up Nico's timing. He sat behind Graham for a full lap waiting to see what he'd do. that extra lap where he coudn't take off cost him.

Blanks going with 800 to go delayed Nico’s kick? And Nico couldn’t take off because someone was in front of him? These takes make no sense. Nico was about to take off and Blanks did it for him. Nico’s penultimate lap would have been the same with or without Blanks. They closed in what, 57 then 55 for a ~1:52 last 800. Do you think without Blanks in front of him Nico was going to close sub-1:50?

It takes MUCH more energy to pass someone running 57 than 62

Not my point. He was going to run 57-55 whether there was someone in front of him or not. He needed to start a hard drive with 4 laps to go, not kick for 2.

Sahlman looked a bit out of his depth tactically there, but he’s still young and will be back. Is it crazy to have waskom over Hobbs at the trials at this point? Very impressive

Always sucks for the pros when they go against the collegiates because Waskom has no pressure and all the confidence right now. And Hobbs has all of the pressure. It’s such a mental edge.

Nico and Colin, great races. Mike Smith is a distance genius, but NOT a track race tactical genius, so these guys will learn as they get older.

In the 800, did Shane Cohen foul/trip the IU runner in his verve to get from last to first? Never got a good look at that one. Questionable?

Last UNC male distance/middle distance runner to win anything? Are we back to Tony Waldrop in the early 70s?
