Extremely impressive result from Hansen given a final lap like that coming off an injury. Excited to see what he does with more training and races under his belt this season.
Yep!
Sub 13:30 is a great opener for Rocky, given he's coming off injury. No surprises with Marco closing so well given his 1500m speed. Marco should've won this race given his extended fall build (no X-C), and indoor season. If we're talking about who's the NCAA favorite for the outdoor 5000m, it's too early to call, but if I had to make a prediction now, it would be Marco. As I previously mentioned, his fall and winter went well and there is no reason he doesn't win the 5000m in June.
His post-race interview was fine, Marco was being Marco, all good. The question remains, can Marco keep his foot out of his mouth (within reason) until NCAA's? I know its who he is, but if he talks too much sh^t and then doesn't win, he's gonna get annihilated on these boards, and everywhere else. Another issue with talking too much trash, is that even if you get injured, no one cares, you still failed. Why add unnecessary pressure?
Samuel has eligibility? Still the favorite then Marco as good as he is , is 0-multple, against him really.not counting a "pulled result down in 3K"
