You will get hate for this, but you're 100% right. Damn shame
Honestly this is just dumb BUT I think there should be a blocking period when swapping allegiance where you cannot race. It feels artificial when people just take on nationalities to have more chances at making teams. Don't think its what happened with Korir but many of those recent swaps of allegiance are just odd. And we all feel it yet its not allowed to be talked about.
So yeah with Rotich changing Nationality in Fall of 2023 a few months back how is anyone expecting everyone to cheer for her if she has not even been American for a little bit. Like yeah.
If you had to pick our best 3 before the race (barring Rupp refinding form) this would be it. All three legit 2:07ish guys with potential for 2:05 high or 2:06 with the right race.
split yes. Mantz led the new haven 20k Champs and let young break the tape so young could lock up the grand prix lead. But this is the trials. Shoukdnt the title means enough to give to whoever had the best day. That was young today. He clearly could have dropped mantz miles back
