If you're gonna count Wheating (not saying you should), Mario Garcia Romo's 3:30.20 in Eugene world champs 2022 would be faster anyway

Notably, what he said was that he got healthy by stopping Jerry's workouts when he felt like it was the right time, rather than trying to do every meat grinder workout Jerry puts out there. The great coaches know more often than not when to listen to their athletes and to coach them individually. Great to see this talent finally realizing his potential after some really tough years at Oregon. Remember that this is his third year at Oregon. He was class of 2023.

Others have already said he’ll be better when he gets away from Jerry. They’re right.

Wheating had already graduated. Garcia Romo had graduated. Not college marks.

Hate to cause some disappointment but I know one of the anchors you mentioned isn’t running DMR

Are we all sure Wheating had graduated OR

was all his eligibles used up

For the running I think it only matters that the eligibility was used up

Superb run.

Shout out to the commentary team for clearly be totally oblivious to what was going on in this one - collegiate record about to get obliterated in one of the great collegiate performances of all time and it didn't "dawn" on them until he'd actually crossed the line?

Come on man.
