1500, 5000 & steeple play by plays - women and men

The Real Maine guys Van Ingen and Merber DFL in there heats.

Looks like Cabral turned pro -- no 5th year at Colorado?

GO KING!

Andrews not looking dominant at all. Bad choice so far.

Cabral nearly loses it on the first barrier of the final lap. Jumped from too far out and has to throw his lead leg back under and push off the top of the barrier. Takes a bad landing and nearly loses it.

Jager

Cabral

Alcorn

Jager's experience too much for the others as he pulls away for the win. :)

We apologize for any typos.

Men’s 3000 Steeplechase Final

Ben Bruce took the lead at 200 and brought the field through the first lap in 65.4. By a lap and a half he was closely followed by Donn Cabral (now wearing Nike, not his Princeton uniform so apparently he will not be competing for Colorado this fall) and Evan Jager.

68.6 was the second lap and over the second barrier, Cabral surged to the lead with Jager in second on the inside. Coming in on three laps, Brian Ollinger took the lead...he is in need of the A standard. He was closely followed by Dan Huling, Jager, Cabral, Corey Lesie and a resurgent Max King.

They hit the four lap mark at 4:28.0 and then Huling surged to the front with Jager making it look very easy in second. Kyle Acorn surged into third with Cabral sitting in fourth.

With two laps to go, Huling, Jager, Acorn, Cabral were the main contenders.

On the penultimate water-jump, Jager surged to the lead. Huling was still there and as they hit the bell lap, Cabral surged to third with Kyle Acord sitting in fourth. Cabral clipped the barrier immediately after the finish line but righted himself.

Going into the last water jump, Jager, Cabral and Alcorn were well clear as Huling struggled mightily over the last barrier. Jager looked incredibly strong, starting his celebration with 50 to go to make his first Olympic team. Donn Cabral held on strongly for second and Kyle Alcorn ws third. Max King set a PR to get sixth in only his third steeplechase in four years.

Anyone think German might try for the Olympic A in the semifinal? He does seem to like front-running anyway.

The semifinals will be the best chance, and his only way to advance. I'm sure he will go for it.

The finals will probably be slow.

Got it. Thanks. Go Bumbi.

It has a knock, knock, knocking sound. Ah, click the sound off for the chat.

Women's 5000m final next!

Heh, they have it listed as a 5000m run.

commercial about killing termites

commercial about drugs.

I cant see a thing, is there another streaming link?

Conley who needs the 'A' is taking it out 73.5 for the first 400.

No Williams who also needs the 'A' is taking it for lap #2. They seemingly have an agreement.

75.7 - too slow. The rest of the field was letting a gap open up as they don't want to help.
