Can see both Nico and Blanks under 12.40 outdoors. They were jogging their 5000's.
Going to take a sub-12.30 to make team USA. Then a couple of medals in Paris. 2 medals in 1500m. Gold in 800 if Brazier comes back, or Flatt/Sumner step up.
Wow you really tried to squeeze as many bad takes as possible into one post.
Massive pb from youngster Keita Sato. Japanrunningnews reported that Sato trained with the OAC lads in Boulder last year. Surely the charm offensive from Ritz & co is underway tonight.
A little background:

13:09.45 makes him the 2nd Japanese man under 13:10 - not too far off of Osako's NR of 13:08.40.

Remember when it was questioned whether Keita was high enough caliber to run in the Millrose 2 Mile? Looks like he’s fit and ready.
Steeplers in their off events had good days today.
Isaac Updike - 3:58 previous best, 3:55.17 today.
Kenneth Rooks - 7:42 today, 7:55i same meet last year.
Looks like everybody who's anybody at US men's 5k showed up today . . . except Grant & Sean.
Don't know what Sean's indoor racing plans are . . . but very much looking forward to Grant's 5k race on Feb 16th, apparently back here in Boston at the BU DMR Challenge . . .
Adrian Wildschutt of NAZ Elite takes the win in a thrilling men's 5k at the 2024 BU John Thomas Terrier Classic in 12:56.76, and NAU's Nico Young goes sub-13...

I didn't even notice Rooks running 7:42. That's seriously scary. He's already a serious talent in the steeple - him and Krissy have that X-Factor you need for events like that. Maybe one day he will become the first sub-8 US steeple runner.
