Another good showing by Heather MacLean. She is the US#1 in my mind.

As somebody who hasn't followed him very long, is 5000 a distance he was focused on up to that age?
Yes.

I see your point, but its important to note that Grant never really chased PBs at Stanford. They brought him along slowly and focused on championship placings. The drop in 1500/5000m times seems significant compared with Grijalva/Teare/the current crop of fresh pros, but he was in college in that era just before supershoes which skewed the data a bit

Maclean the favorite to win USA’s next year?
Yes. Sinclaire Johnson needs to go back and do some serious base work, but I wonder whether she will. She keeps emphasizing her speed side and the fact that it's what she's most comfortable with (yeah, it's easier..), but she clearly benefitted earlier this season from the longer, harder endurance BTC work. Such a talent - I hope they sort it out.

interesting he ran a 13:30 as an 18 or 19 year old. appears he was involved in nothing but strategic sit and kicks throughout college.

How the hell has Grant held form all year?
The elephant in the room. Anyone with a brain knows. They are all excited because he is American and his coach has never heard of Nandrolone.
{sarc}Yeah, no other reasons are possible.{/sarc}

The question is how Grant will be able to replicate such a result.
He was not able to outkick Krop which is not the best finishers.
I would really liked to see Ingerbrigsten in this race.
Krop is really dang good. Fishers best chance is likely in the 10,000 if we’re being honest for a medal. The big issue may be that Kiplimo looked unbeatable at the Commonwealth Games.

I don't think any of us on here know where you're coming from. Can you post these spam skepticism's some more?

Grant also ran like 70 mpw in college and majored in Electrical Engineering at Stanford which is incredibly rigorous. Very pleased that both his HS and College coaches had his long-term development in mind. Compare that to someone like Ches who was run into the ground at Oregon chasing ridiculous triples to score points for Oregon and then has been in no mans land with training groups as a pro.

that would be an accurate assessment, although he did hop in a fast pro indoor 3k once or twice. His ncaa champ win was in the 14:xxs

Fair point. So maybe he runs 13:15 at age 22 if he focuses on time trials and has super spikes. But something else needed to be spiked to aid the huge improvement.

the 800 badly needs a star right now.

Chez has citizenship issues. He's unmarketable because he'll never run at global championships. Different situation entirely.
