3:18 with 400 to go meant they weren't getting the AR.
Rojo texted and said Hasay was upbeat afterwards. Last year in her big mile she blew up at 1200m , today she made it 1400. She is going to run a 3k in Birmingham (England) and then double at USAs.
Some more interviews now up:

Why is no one talking about the 500 record? I know it's the 500, but it's the most impressive mark so far. Spratling is not a big name either, except for his earlier NCAA record in the 500. A specialist, no doubt...
Converts to 45.7 for 400m according to IAAF
Men's Wanamaker Mile is all that's left.
40% of you picked Willis to win.
34% Centro.
No one else over 10%. Lagat 7%. Leo Manzano 3%.
55.0 for first quarter. Centro out front, pretty long train.
1:54.9 at 800. Centro, then a bunch.
Centro, Casey, Willis, then the pack.
Centro holds off Willis!! Casey third, Lagat wins the pack for fourth. 3:51, I believe.
Stream worked perfectly fine up until the mile. Of course.
Lagat didn't even try, he's much faster than 3:54 if he keeps at it.
LOL, yeah, it dropped out here at 2:48 in the race … awesome. :)

Some major stinkers in this one. Some of my favorite athletes are not in form.

Too bad there wasn't a sopcast, then it would have worked even better.
If you didn't think Centro was the real deal before, that race should show it. Willis went for it on the backstretch, pulled even with Centro. Centro holds him to the curve with Willis stalking on his shoulder, then Centro finishes it. Really brilliant stuff.
Damn stream - missed most of the last third of that mile but caught the last 100. Willis and Centro fighting until the end, was hoping for sub 3:50; Centro deserved that win. Great mile.
Great mile 3:51.35 Centro over Willis 3:51.46.
Both ran tremendous. Willis is the king of pacing. Went out perfectly and moved up.
Centro is the king of racing. Made sure Willis didn't pass him before the final turn and held him off the last stretch. Outdoors Willis might have been able to get him but indoors trying to pass on the final turn is often pointless and once you hit the final stretch it's often too late.
Great race to end it.
Yes, it was a great mile. Sorry to those whose stream didn't cooperate. Race of the night for me. No postrace interview, atrocious coverage overall.
Surprised that Casey got third. I thought more people would close on him at the end. Lagat looked smooth. Where was Lalang at?
The meet went on national TV at 8pm eastern.
There was a post-race interview on USATF.tv. Centro said he's got a workout to do. There is a post-race show on there now.

All my picks on the homepage for this meet were correct.
Now let's see if my picks for the 2016 OG will be correct.
I picked Meb, Ritz & Hall for men and Flanagan, Linden, and Hastings for women.
