Shocker: Yared Nuguse NOT running 1500s at ACCS (he's in 5000) & will not go for NCAA 1500 title

Has anyone seen the ACC start lists? Yared Nuguse, who doesn't have an NCAA regional time in the 1500 as the Sound Running Invite didn't count for NCAA purposes, is not entered in the 1500. That means he will not go for the NCAA 1500 title.This reminds me Nick Willis' last year in the NCAA when he also didn't run his specialty the 1500 and instead opted for the 5000 as he wanted to be fresh for Worlds. The difference is Nuguse doesn't even have the 5000 standard. I'd love to know the thought process here and will have Jonathan Gault reach out to Coach Carlson. Update: JG has spoken to coach Carlson. letsrun.com Yared Nuguse Only Entered in 5K at ACC Championships; Will Not Contest 1500 at NCAAs Notre Dame coach Sean Carlson said Nuguse strained his hamstring at the Track Meet and will only race ACCs if he is "100% healthy."

Exactly. Times change, technology changes, condition changes. But competition remains the same.
Nguse was never able to show up to the championship and consistently win. The only goal of this sport is to win, everything else is secondary.

What does this even mean? In 2019, he went 2/2 winning the DMR in an epic race and then winning Outdoor NCAA's. In 2021, he finished 23rd at Nationals in XC and helped his team to 2nd. That's showing up for sure. He then ran great in the 1500, but Hocker beat him yes. Yes literally he didn't win, and these performances were second (or secondary), but they were great performances nonetheless.

Shootpost is a Nuguse hater - you’re not going to convince him of anything. Yared’s college performances were great until about 3 months ago and have been poor since then. So it goes, we will see what comes next.

I clarify- I am not a Nguse hater, I am a Sean Carlson hater. He derailed one of the most promising talents the US has to try and start his own little pro group. Hopefully Nguse can get back on track.
