I watch a lot of ACC track and Parker has been doing some things. Should he choose to go pro, he is gonna’ be a force. Amazing kick akin to Hocker. He has been knocking on the door for sometime, I would take him in a distance footrace anytime. Not a surprise.
Good post. I’m not liking how most people are characterizing this more like a Nico failure than a Wolfe triumph.
Last 800 splits:
Wolfe - 1:52.10
Young - 1:52.42
Robinson - 1:52.85
No one else in the race was under 1:55.
Perhaps Young should have tried a different tactic in hindsight, but the blazing last 800 worked for him twice indoors so it wasn’t illogical. Closing in 1:52.4 really doesn’t mean he’s past his peak or that he can’t kick at an elite level, it just wasn’t his day to win. Give all the credit to Wolfe, who proved himself as a major player at just 20 years old.
Yes. Nice summary. The MB never fails to show its biases and ignorance and lack of analytical brainpower. Sign of the times.
