"Teare and Hocker expected to go even faster and secure the Olympic 'A' standard, which is 13:13.50 – faster than Billy McChesney Jr.'s Oregon school record (13:14.80).

The pace dragged near the mid-point and Teare went to the front at two miles, sooner than he would have liked.

"It was a little slow through 3K," Teare said. "I didn't want to go out in front when I did, but sometimes you've got to step up to the plate and take some of the work."

What's your proof that Hocker and Young respond to the shoes according to your expectations? That they ran fast at some point?
