I've watched track a very long time, I struggled in the 80's watching Steve Scott win a silver at worlds but like all Americans get crushed in the Olympics and the 90's and 2000's just a debacle and yes I was happy about 2016, but in 3:50????. This is the greatest showing by Americans in history and Hobbs Kessler is scary good and all three are so young. Forget the British and Norwegians, The Americans are here to stay! Kerr will never win another championship race but Jakob will take is 3:43 mile and 3:26 1500m speed and revolutionize the 5 and 10. He's young too only 23.
Agree. Yes, all 3 have the potential to remain on the scene for a few more years. Im hopeful that tiday inspires the next generation of young Americans to step up and take their place as well. I wish Nguse to run 5k. Glad to see the progress Kessler has made in top fields since getting bumped at Prefontaine and retiring from the race. That was a wakeup call that he has responded well to. The 800 has served him well in many ways for the 1500.
