2025 U.S. Track and Field Championships Day 4 Discussion Thread (Live reaction show at 6:30 pm ET)

Really? Overall he's very professional interviewer and probably the best on NBC's staff. He has one minor slip of the touge and you call him an idiot? I'm sure you would do much better.

Total Jakob. Keep the pace slow then out kick everyone.

Like Sha'Carri post Budapest, good job Thomas cashed in after Paris.

She's looking like a bit of a one and done. Just doesn't have the 100m speed.

notes

you can slow the race down by taking the lead and slowing the pace sub tally.

and as far as tactics go, it was fine for hocker young and fisher, they made the team

you want the win, but this is more of the first heat in the worlds.

fisher and young know full well they won't be winning a slow race with a 327 1500 guy on top of his game.. so they could care less.

Blanks is the one who has to take it earlier there. Just got outkicked by Nico and Grant on Thursday and just oodles of kickers in that race, including the gold medalist in the 1500. Graham can’t let that be a 13:25 race. Just overestimating his chances in that kind of race.

Honestly Nico made a few tactical errors- going wide on the curves, running extra distance, going a little too early..and still pulled off 3rd place. Grant too- boxed in for 3/4 of the race. I think this 5000m showed Grant and Nico are on a whole different level than Graham who was a non factor in this unfortunately. I thought his strength would allow him to not be so beat up today.

Really impressed by Hocker. Gutted for Cooper and Drew, but you have to be ready to medal to make the US team.

As long as the Ethiopians continue to sacrifice themselves we won't get a slow 5k. Even if it's slow to 3k you can trust Jakob to close it hard because he's just as scared of Hocker's kick

Is Abby Steiner still injured?

BEST comment here

The 5000/10000 is extremely doable and Fisher and Young have said in multiple interviews that they are going to run both events. The 1500/5000 is also fine, and Cole has said he intends to double. It’s after the 1500 so nothing to lose. Jakob has shown that. I don’t think anyone else has any hope of one of those three dropping the 5000.

Master class by Hocker. Great way to win his first race since Paris.

Fisher should have gone much earlier if he wanted to win, but makes the team.

Hell no. Hocker worked his ass off for this. He’s made it clear that he wants to win gold for the 1500/5k.

22.20 from Brown got her 3rd in the Olympic final in Paris last year - same time gets her left off the team today

They must have figured out where Gabby was this year.

Drew Hunter left it all out there, ALWAYS

I wonder how the results would’ve changed if Grant had gone at 1K out like he planned..

Erm she made the team. She traditionally runs her best 200m race in Eugene. Maybe this year she is at her best in the 200m final. I don’t think it’s altogether a bad thing if she can rally over the next 6 weeks.

wrong board

May have been a different story if they didn’t wait until 500 to go. That wasn’t really a “final 1600”
