2014 N.O.P. Women's 1k - Men's 5k AR Attempt Live Coverage Thread

Rupp is juiced. That was too easy.

I honestly did not think any of the records would fall today.

Rupp is stil awkward as hell . slapping hands with the crowd.

Galen Rupp 13:01, wins American record.

Cam Levins 13:19, wins Canadian record.

That was impressive. Glad I bought flotrack feed.

1301.26!!!

chelanga about 1305

Damn, I was so pumped when I read 12:00 with 400 to go. Thought I was about to see (or read) a 12:54-56. 13:01 is still pretty dank though. Amazing first race of the season!

8th best all time

Wonder if he could have got sub 13 with a slightly faster opening 3k?

Everybody will recognize she is not a amateur any more but she is still a HS athlete and every time a record is talked about she will be the person they talk about. Either way she will have the AJR and WJR which is virtually the same thing.

There may be distinctions between the high school and college scenarios, but I can't think of a clear one.

Again, there are no official collegiate records. The NCAA only keeps track of championship records.

Anybody can make up any standard they like.

Doubt it. Last lap was only a 61. You'd expect that with an easier start he'd have more pop in his legs the last 400, but all he could do was maintain pace. Still, such an awesome result this early on. 8:04 and 3:49 don't seem crazy at all now! Great result for Levins as well, glad he seems to be over the malaise he had last year.

Fawn dorn is gay! Sorry boys...settle down!

Fawn Dorr. 11 time all american at Penn State.

Rupps has always underperformed in the 5K; this the first really good 5K he has ever run. Not to tout my own horn, I did perdict the AR was going down. For a nation that participates in indoor track and has produced a half dozen sub-13 outdoor marks made 13:07 somewhat soft.

Burden of proof. If you say it doesn't count because she is a professional athlete prove it. It doesn't really matter, but I just hate it when people make such bold proclamations with absolutely no evidence to substantiate their claim. If you are so certain provide a link to the rule. If I had your type of confidence I would provide a link right away. Maybe your just an idiot. Prove me wrong

all you yahoos need to get on my prediction thread.

i predicted galen would get it.

you could've heard it there first
