I'm happy for the kid. He is superstoked to get 4th on a great time. Jakob got silver and and the dude goes home devastated. He will get mentally beat up til the next world's race.
He's now almost four seconds under the college record, but since it's out of season and he's done with college, it counts under the much tougher category of the summer after college, where three post-collegiates now have run 3:30, Lagat, Wheating, and Garcia Romo, and his is the fastest (and, like Centro, he could have returned for another year, but he's 23, so just like a redshirt senior).
The Spanish Rocket needs to find a new coach yesterday. He is supremely talented and was unreal under Vanhoy at Ole Miss. I bet he'd do well with Powell.
