Good point about mo, I left him out because he runs for the NOP team but doesn't train with Alberto.
Obviously Galen isn't in peak shape but I feel he should still be in shape to run sub4, just not the 350 guy we've seen before.
Bowerman could put up a similar time but they do tend to lack consistency as Lopez and Jager have been known to swing and miss @ 1500 on occasion
Couldn't Bekele run the whole thing on his own in his track prime?
Too bad Alexander didn't run. They run maybe ten seconds faster if he runs. Is he hurt or just sick?

Heard he is injured. Not sure what it is or how bad tho. Makes you wonder if he was hurting at Wanamaker. That was only 3 or 4 days before Merber said he was pulled from the relay. If he was hurting at Millrose and still ran 3:55, that's sick. Let's hope this is just a minor tweak. One of the USA's bright 1500 up and comers.
The fat hoka shoes must have slowed them down.

With Colby, they come close to breaking 16. Only a couple outdoor teams and no indoor teams have ever done that.
Some serious good teams have run this event too. It's just really hard to run sub 4 all alone. These guys did a great job, especially having to juggle a lineup at the last minute.
