The rabbit went through in 55.7 which means Ches should have been in 3-5th place right at goal. No need to be up the pacers a$s

I think the pacing was a factor about this race that was massively understated. a 55 first lap is not ideal at all for running a PR. I see sub 3:50 easily with better competition .

Sub 3:50 EASILY?

Oh here we go again...

Do we have a singlet-adjustment count on Ches for this one?

I counted two singlet adjustments + one workman's blow

Liam Dee's run in this race makes he and his father, Billy Dee, the 9th father-son duo to go under 4:00.

I hate Cheserek. I hate how he races I hate his tactics I hate how everybody calls him the King.

But, I have to say. He ran on the rabbit and had the lead with a few laps to go something he rarely has and he held it and ran fast. Those little flailing arms propelled faster than I thought possible.

Are there any splits available for every single runner, like to know how fast everyone opened and closed. Then you can truly say if he has a shot and 3:50 or mabye even faster.

Also seeing what Jenkins closed in comparison to ahmed the last 200-400-600 would be nice.

3:52.01 is not a long way from 3:50.9

Does this mean he stands the chance of being deported?

"Yea, considering he's 23 years old... "

Given the fact that he doesn't actually know how old he is makes this "Collegiate Record" essentially meaningless. Not that he's anything but a super person and nice guy and an incredible runner but if his age is not officially documentable, than I'm afraid I cannot respect the effort. Or.... if it's simply the record for someone who happens to 'attend college' well then, I guess so.... German still in my mind has the 'College Record' for an 18 year old college freshman on a normal non-bull$hit 300 meter flat oval track. And not a 25 year old BYU Mormon nobody either!

Did you call him a kid? Lol good one. The guys about 28 years old and not even American...

Not only is Ches the new NCAA record holder, he's also now the new KENYAN RECORD HOLDER. DAYUMMMM
