Nuguse was cooked. That's all that happened. He went out too fast for what he had that day and did well to hold on to that point, before stumbling on the rail because he was so tired. The Va Tech guy had closed from 3 seconds to within 1, and it was going to be close at best. I assume he'll be very, very fast at NCAA's, but even if he doesn't recover, he's already run a college record 7:38 3000m this year.

Nuguse's coaches looked so mad and act like dbags. Ugh, would hate to run for that program.

Why is VA tech anchor so jacked up? What a tool box.

Why is no one confused that he went out in 54? That's just weird. What happened? Why did someone like this decide to go out like a high schooler?
This was not miscalculated pacing. 54 feels much different than 57-59, especially to a guy who can sustain the latter. He knew he was going out like a maniac. Why did he do that? Was he playing a game with himself?

Probably fell on purpose to save face, knowing he was going to lose, just like Teare.
G League shenanigans.

He went out in 55, not 54, so not that crazy. His pace sense may be lacking a bit but he may also have been practicing a tactic that actually worked out very well for him at the ACC outdoor prelims last year when he ran 3:34. In the future, on the Diamond League, he will need to be able to go out in 55 and hold it to be competitive.

That makes sense. Maybe that's what he's thinking - getting prepped for the pro circuit... although, 55 outdoors behind several of the world's best will feel a lot better than 55 leading a DMR.

He says he thought he heard "65!"

DSTrainer: Did you make this up?? Yared’s body knows the difference between a 55 second and a 65 second quarter. On the other hand, I didn’t see the video, but I can just imagine some old gaffer with a hand-held stopwatch standing at the edge of the track and shouting through his fake chompers: “ ‘IITTy-faaive, ‘IITTy-siss.”

Don't they have a huge timing display right at the finish line to help those with hard hearing and/or "old gaffers" who can't read?
