Is that really a good result from Mantz? Cairess, who’s slower than Mantz over the marathon but definitely still a marathoner, solo’d faster than that at UK champs this year in pretty unforgiving conditions
You'd have to think that Mantz is sort of in between seasons right now. His spring marathoning is done, and fall is a long way off. He'll probably do the 10k at the US trials, but today was more than likely a mid-cycle aerobic test which he passed just fine. There was absolutely nothing on the line other than enjoying lining up at Hayward Field. If he'd been DFL and/or above 28, then you might have a point, but within 10 seconds of a PR seems like a fine performance to me.

I do not think Mantz came to run 27:35. he’s probably not super pleased
Does that count as a new collegiate record for Kipkurui from UNM?
I might be misremembering, but hasn't there been ambiguity or personal preference in what you consider a collegiate record for decades? (For example, did Henry Rono's summer times count?)
Kipkurui just signed a pro contract with Nike, it might not count either way

did Cairess go out hotter than he was capable though? asking. not being condescending
the people are saying Mantz was 13:30-13:35. in rough conditions.
Wish we had live splits for all runners, no idea where Mantz is at :(
I’m in the stadium. Mantz is currently in 16th place. He’s been running most of the race completely alone. I’m cheering for him when he passes by to try to encourage him.
Does everyone in the stadium know you were Poster of the Month?
Hmm trying to evaluate if it’s worth it or not. If usa championhips are using this usatftv for prelims, I might purchase.
this is a good point. 13 is worth it if you're getting multiple high interest meets out of it.
I took the plunge. Got to see a great throw by Rudy Winkler, a couple of cute kids' 1500m and an exciting 10k. But the international mile will have to pay off to justify the $13. Not sure about the USA Champs prelims, but I'd imagine there'll be some value there. It will all take place before the 30 days are up too.
outdoor champs will be on usatf.tv, according to the website. and also historically has been the case. i guess im just gonna do it.
Same. I purchased and also canceled it so I don’t forget ahead of time. Can still use up to August 5th which is like 1 or 2 days after usa champs ends.
