It looks like Ches made his move right when they were coming up on the lapped runners, making it harder for Jenkins to get around and cover. I may have seen that wrong on the stream though. Jenkins definitely didn't look happy.
It looked like Chez intentionally used lapped runner to box him in and get the win. Pretty douchebag move to pull on a teammate
Rawson was convinced that Oregon hung on for 3rd in a race that they finished 5th.
Good race by Pierce Murphy in 5th! Does anyone else think Colorado would score more points if they just ran all their guys in the 5K and 10K at regionals?

That's what is seemed like to me.
But their finish was also strange because they it didn't look like they were going particularly hard.
The interview with Jenkins.
Well, the East region did pick up two points in the 10K. They've been worse. Fauble's DNF prevented the East from getting the bottom eight spots. They only got seven of the bottom eight.
We want interviews!
Jenkins had to go under the stands to adjust his rupp certified "artificial clean sample apparatus".
remember how pumped they were when they finished 1-2 in xc? There was none of that today after the race.
Other than Ches breaking the race plan, the only other explanation could be that Jenkins had some "digestive" issues going on. He never stopped running at the finish, just went straight for the exit.
How did Futsum do?
Rawson just said "total OMG"
love it

Jenkis is about to go pro, he needs all the accolades he can get right now. Ches must REALLY want to be 4x10k 4xXC champion.
Jenkins is a sacrificial lamb (duck) and stomps off the track in a 130 pound huff ?
Turn and Blankenship the guy dude ....
Cheserek seems like quite a tool...
Not many likable characters in this mix ...
Yes, if you cramp in a 4x400 it's because you weren't properly hydrated. I can't believe we have to listen to this.
robby creese just ate his 4th baton of the day
Jenkins told me after the race that he will be racing all-out against Cheserek in the 5,000 on Friday. No holds barred. This is going to be good.

Did he say why he was upset?
Why do these two even run?? I mean, is it fun to just cruise together even on the biggest scene? I mean, after the Stanford snore fest, jogging in last place I thought they'd at least try at NCAAs at home.... Surely Hayward Field was disappointed by that garbage "race"

Maybe Ches is about to go pro too. Tbh, I hate having Ches in the NCAA. I've never been more bored and/or uninterested than when he is in a race. Maybe if he ran fast times here or there his dominance would be interesting (like Jenny Simpsons senior year) but nope. None of that.
Boys and girls, it's official. Jenkins wasn't happy after this one was over. The plan was to finish together but Ches decided to kick it in for individual glory.
