I thought his form looked smoother than usual!
Stop quoting the entire f*cking thread
anyone have complete results, beyond top 10?

Here you go:
https://results.nyrr.org/event/21Dash/finishers#g=M&page=1Just want to point out that Cento won the age graded race.
Looks like Chelimo just gave up after he realized he couldn’t win.

Glad to see Drew run well. Lot of armchair quarterbacks on here that talk a lot of smack. Great interview after the race. Glad to see him still enjoying the sport after last 12 months.
For all you studs out there sorry to burst your bubble times don't mean anything in championship races and particularly on the road in November.
Why? He has a 20 second faster PR than guys who will finish 10th.

Times don’t matter if it’s a quality field. Field was trash. For drew as a professional runner, the result meant nothing.
This stupid board varies depending on the thread. I'm no Hunter fan. I don't like the group, I don't like the way they split from Tom, I don't like his form. He beat a field that had Centro a gold medal on his neck(one that I have not so good feelings about to say the least), and a silver medalist and huge crap talker in Chelimo. There are literally no bigger names in the US on the track right now. Who could he have beaten that would impress you? He's not even in great shape as he's not had a good build up due to injury. It's not his fault that we're not strong now and he isn't coming in tenth with this performance. No one from BTC is here so it doesn't count? Centro is BTC and their top guys don't compete in road races outside of the marathon and guess what they aren't good at that anyway. Centro just ran 3:33 in the Olympics. He's not "washed up". He was in PB shape and the race was fast so he got eliminated, which is what would have happened in 2016 under those circumstances. Congrats to Hunter. He beat all the guys that showed up. He outkicked Centro the man who is supposed to have a lethal kick. Not only that but he'd beat every single guy on here while tempoing his race.
I hope Matt C. is actually now a 5000m man. I hope this 5K is not simply bracket racing. I don't think Matt C. is capable of a great 5000m time. I would like to see him race a sub-7:32.5 3000m. If Matt C. can get himself in sub-7:32.5 3000m condition, he may have enough combination of speed and endurance to be better than okay at 5000m. If Matt C. dedicates himself to 5000m, he can make 5000m final at W.C. and 2024 Olympics.

Or they ran well.
Centro won gold in a different race 5.5 years ago in a fluke final that allowed someone not that great to win. He isn’t completely washed up but he’s not in his prime and who knows what kind of 5k shape he would be in right now on the track. Chelimo had a terrible race so beating him doesn’t mean anything.

You realize that Centro and Chelimo took 2-3 months off from hard training after the Olympics? Hunter was injured in April, he's been healthy for a while. Hunter is always in his peak fitness when it's the least important time of the year.

Oh man, you were going so well. Ending it with “tempoing” the race was a bad take.

Thanks, briswiss, for telling us that Drew Hunter totally dismissed his national championship win. I bet Drew would be most grateful to learn more about his inner thoughts from you, since you just know. He might want to learn if he likes the color blue, or Baked Alaska. "Ask briswiss", I'd tell him.

Drew Hunter is a tool because he once claimed that he "is the best in the world" in a documentary.
Centro is even more of a tool because he thought he could cruise to a win in the Oly Trials and LOST. He also got owned at the Olympics.
I dont like either of them, but I was thrilled to see Hunter beat Matt.
