Does Hill need to place well to get invited to more Diamond meets or do his times and other dredentials do the trick?I'm a huge Jager fan, like top 3 USA distance runenrs, but sadly my most vivid memories of him are 1) epic fist pumps at olympic final 2) falling in the steeple and 3) fading terribly in this racei love that he went for it, probably thought he had more in the tank

Hill gets an F. The point in this baby was to run fast. If you are Hill, why do you care if you place 4th? Go for it.
Chelimo gets an A as well as he got 2nd. He's the Olympic silver medallist and doesn't need to run fast.
But what the hell were Hill and Mead doing?
