Didn’t Jakob basically do this in a world 5k final? Idk why people are so sensitive about this. If someone blows my doors off in a race, they’ve absolutely earned the right to celebrate imo. Cole Hocker could take on a HS dual meet and celebrate down the final stretch and I’d say if the HS kids don’t want him to celebrate then it’s on them to beat him.
So glad for Marco! Get that notoriety, celebrate, and keep on. We need fun runners to watch these days, not just training robots. The commenters for the race were phenomenal, could we have some equal excitement for racing the US please?.................

Marco has not earned this at this at this juncture. Win an NCAA title before you act like a complete douche. But he may never win an NCAA title. So we get this buffoonery.
I'm all for celebrations - they're good for the sport. Unless you seriously injure yourself. It looked like Marco rolled his ankle there and was limping a bit.
I attempted to upvote this post from page one. I accidentally hit downvote, and it wouldn’t let me change it. Sorry. He ran a 3:54.60i (.01 slower) back in January for a presumably celebrationless win. And then in March ran a 2nd place 3:33.38 1500 meters at Raleigh. If you accept multiplying that by 1.08 as a 1500 to one mile conversion, it equates to a 3:50.46 mile.
