He is ONLY 21 the Rivalry he will have with Jakob Ingebrightsen over the next Decade will be AMAZING and what range those 2 have Kejelcha has run a 59:17 Half Marathon and Ingebrightsen's Coach and Father said Jakob can run under an hour for the Half Marathon, this was said when Jakob was only 17, These 2 are threats to break every record from 1500 to the Marathon in the Future.

3:49:48 for Gregorek in 2nd!
That's insane! Huge PR!
Nice race for almost all. Great stuff!
I guess Salazar knows a thing or two about a thing or two.
Kinda mind blowing that less than 6 months ago Kejelcha also ran a 59:17 half marathon.
Great result by Sam Prakel in 3rd. 3:50.94. Over a 5 second PR

Crazy how Gregorek, Prakel, and Wynne ran 3:49, 3:50, and 3:51 just to prove to the brojos that the USA had depth in the mile/1500m
Or maybe they ran that fast to prove to the rest of us how even second tier elites can run crazy times in a fast race on a fast track.
Those times convert to 3:32, 3:33 and 3:34. Let's see how close they get this summer.
I have no clue.
US 1500m this summer will have three of the 5 fastest Americans indoor over a mile all time- Gregorek, Centrowitz, , and Prakel. it might be worth a trip out just to watch that race alone

How big are the springs under this track?
Not quite as big as the springs under the Monaco track...
The three amigos just ran 5+ seconds faster than they've run so far this year. So you can draw your own conclusions.
Fastest mile indoors or out since ALAN WEBB in 2007, which in turn was the fastest since 2001.

Kejelcha, Yomif Nike Oregon Project 3:47.01 1500m: 3:31.25
28.68 (28.68)
57.31 (28.63)
1:25.92 (28.62)

2:50.76 (28.01)
3:18.54 (27.78)
3:47.01 (28.48)
Very even pacing! Apart from the initial split, which I presume is for 209m, the rest of the laps had a range of only 0.9secs. The rabbits did a good job.

WOW KEJELCHA is ALMOST as good as ALAN WEBB. The IAAF talked about erasing all performances that happened before 2005, so if that happens Webb would be the new World Record Holder and Kejelcha would be trying to beat it.

lol no.
Doped time here, but impressive.
Also definite proof that indoor is not "slower" than outdoor, but pretty close to equal, if not FASTER. This dude isn't running any 3:44's this spring.
Is Gregorek not with ASICS anymore? Anyone have the skinny?

Sub 3:50 on an indoor, banked 200m track at 6’5”. That is something.

He is sponsored by Asics, but he is a member of the NJNY training group, which is sponsored by Hoka.
Just like Phoebe Wright, who was sponsored by Nike, but trained with the Beasts, who were sponsored by Brooks.
when Hoka signed on they grandfathered in all the then current members regardless of sponsor--
