If Teare runs anywhere near a WR, I'll be shocked. No American is in the same tier as Goose this year.
Totally agree. No way is it going to happen for Teare
You don't have to be at Nuguse level. BU is 1-2 seconds faster than a normal track for a mile. If Nuguse ran at BU in a pure time trial with a mechanical rabbit for the whole race, he might have run 3:45.
This is correct, she talked about being asked to pace The TEN through a 15-minute 5k, and then go another 1000 meters, which was going to be quite an effort.
She did sound like Boston was on the table, but I wonder if there's not sufficient depth of field for her to go after the fast time she wanted (I have not looked at the field, and this assumes there's not some physical reason she dropped, since she had hamstring issues about a month ago).
That seems a little fast for a 10k of mainly US women. Surely they'd only ask for that pace if someone was going for sub-30, which would be very optimistic

I actually think those numbers make sense. I could see Nuguse being a 3:28 guy outdoors and Teare like a 3:30 guy
Is anybody else ticked off to see Jim Ryun listed way down in heat16?
Sure, the guy ran his best times five plus decades ago, but he’s been training with Ritz and Ritz’s dad and he’s got super spikes now. Let’s show this legend the proper respect and bump him up to at least the heat with Evan Jager. And btw, Evan’s old too, why aren’t they holding it against him!?
How sharp is Cooper Teare? I don't recall any indoor results for him this year (he ran 3:50 the last two years) and another of Jerry's kids, Grant Fisher, wasn't sharp relative to his standards in his first race indoors this year.
I agree that there is no reason to believe that Teare is in Record breaking shape.
Teare´s best performance last season was his indoor mile in 3:50 more than a year ago.
After that his season was rather disappointing culminating when he didn´t survive first round in the 1500m in the WC.
His 7:34.70 in the indoor 3000m earlier this season doesn´t indicate a fast mile time. Nuguse´s 3000m time is 7 seconds faster so it doesn´t seem likely Teare will come close to Nuguse´s world leading mile time.
I think Teare should happy if he can run 3:50 once more.
Ugh.....goose "could've" run 345...Teare was in 348 shape....blah blah blah...
Goose ran one of the best races I've seen from an American lately ...Teare ran 350 in college. Both top notch performances. I know it's fine to speculate, but conditions were perfect and they ran what they ran. Perfect pacing isn't a reality in running, tho I guess wavelights are changing that
I was pretty impressed that a couple of these 60 heats are surprisingly good. Might see a 6.5x clocking which is not something I expect out of a BU meet.

Cranny ran ~30:13 at the same event previously, so there's no reason to think sub-30 is off the table, given the way Alicia Monsoon has been running this year.
