Would be nice to see the final times.

What about Mantz? Think his PB was over 28 minutes going into this..
THEY WON'T SAY. Last I saw he was passing Chelenga. Camera was on him when he crossed the line so I don't know the time.
Thank you sir.
She was obviously strongly biased, but I dig her vibe.
Settle down, it was fine. I thought Leah was engaging and fun. The guy isn't great, but he was ok. Production could be improved (they said there was an issue with the onscreen clock), but I'm sure they'll get better at this. For $6, it was plenty good enough.

The commentary AND the production for this meet has been an absolute joke so far. Hopefully they bring in someone decent to do commentary tomorrow. This guy is like a human sedative.
No on screen clock and no immediate live results? Can I get a refund?
I forget the male commentator’s name, but I think he did a WAY better job tonight than his commentating a few weeks ago. He mentioned fewer memes and was generally more coherent and exciting tonight. Give the guy a break, he’s trending up. Definitely not a Chris Chavez, so there are better people to do it, but not totally unlistenable.
Falland was really casual and maybe not as well-informed as you’d hope, but I guess that means she’s probably busy grinding away with the training and doesn’t have time for that

They are a changin’
Thank you, Hoarse. I see there's at least 2 of us who thought Chavez was good. lol
just uploaded. Mantz 27:41. Mcdonald fell off hard ended up getting 10th in 27:58.
Need to keep the camera on the finish line so we can see when folks finished. Don't follow the winners after they cross the line.

Yeah, I kind of felt like they overlooked Bor a bit but I liked the color commentary. Maybe it was a tiny bit too repetitive cause now I want McDonald's but I like knowing stuff like that. Ollie Orr likes Mickey Ds and still has to run around the track after everyone's done.

Doesn't help without a clock. But I bet they'll have one tomorrow.
Mantz 27:41.16! He misses Eyestone's school records by 0.11 seconds!
Top time in the NCAA this year though.
More yikes from NAZ Elite
Would it be safe to say that no American has ever run as fast (27:22) at age 33 as Emmanuel Bor did tonight. There is no doubt that if some talent comes along then Galen’s U.S. 10000m record is toast.
Commentator guy was not good. Same uninformed jerkoff attitude as Wheating, but Wheating can get away with it because he ran 3:30 once upon a time.
Would be helpful to get people who know what they're talking about and are semi-informed, not just summarizing athletes' social media content.
Klecker looked solid, but got his doors blown off again. This is really going to make it difficult to make teams.
Mantz solid. Hehir what you would expect from 2:09 guy, but his training has not been spectacular so that's actually pretty impressive.
McDonald not good. Lacking the edge he had at Wisconsin. Has been lackluster as a pro.
Juan Luis Barrios has to be almost 50 years old.
Let's again lament how badly Schumacher has screwed up Chris Derrick. Painful to watch.
Mantz now has the top 10K time in NCAAs.
