Matthew Centrowitz OUT of 1500 at New Balance Indoor Grand Prix

Yeah, still a stellar field.

i really want to see what he can do with a healthy build up 100% in a time trial type race. i think he still has a 1500m PR in him

dont count out bartelsmeyer

DGAF

No surprise in that. Likely doesn't feel it would be good for his ego to finish DFL...behind a barely known 20 yr old.

Salazar's athletes haven't done much since he was banned, have they?

Galen won the Olympic trials, not much?

His replacment should be Hobbs Kessler.

Or Josh Thompson. Or Josh Kerr. Honestly I’d take anyone named Josh at this point.

I just want to see how he stacks up against the best. The MB’s would go nuts if he actually beat Drew Hunter.

Tbh I would only go nuts if Drew beat a competitive Centro. I mean, Centro ran a B heat 5k a few weeks ago for a reason. I can't imagine he's terribly fit right now...

His flame went out after winning gold.

Sorry, disregard my above post. I completely misread the comment chain. Woops.

LOL

I was thinking relative to before his doping suspension. Didn't mean to imply that no one has had any success at all.

Didn't he run 13 flat a couple years ago in an inter-squad time trial...? If that's losing the flame, I'll have what he's having...

With that said, this isn't the first time MC has been included on a start list and then "can't make it" last second. Sometimes I wonder if a race director would ever put his name on the start list to hype the race (potentially with MC's permission) knowing that he won't be there as a marketing ploy. Heck, maybe MC gets a little kick back for letting them include his name...

as you can see when the sh*t hit the fan in 2019 ruppy poop didnt have any results

at best he is a 4 flat mile,7 :50s 3k, 13:30s 5k, 28 low 10k and 2:09 marathon and wow look at all the equivalents and you will see that they all match. without al sals andro gel rub down with happy ending ruppy poop is right where a 4 flat miler with years under his belt should be..

You do realize he got serious achilles surgery in October of 2018 which took months for him to even run again. So pretty much, you’re a dumba** and take things out of context. When he was healthy he demolished the field at the OT and looked good doing it on a tough course. As much as you’d like to discredit him, Al Sal or not Galen is the best in the US. Cheers!

first off 2:09 at best? he has run 2:06 TWICE. Maybe you should do some better research. Then you have to take into consideration which races were time trials. Plus you forgot he WON Chicago. Then after major surgery destroyed the whole country in the trials on a tough course which what did Kellog say that course adds? 2-3 minutes? So practically another 2:06 solo at the end.

Next time please do better research. He did have kind of an off year in 2015 but still ran 13:0x and 27:0x both in champtionship races in crappy china summer.
