Good lord. Trevor Stewart on anchor for the 4x400 is unstoppable.
I really hope A&T take the title again.

Old fella probably used too much energy shaving to race well. Shaving is a young man's game grampa Mantz!

I just want to highlight how CRAPPY of a post this is. This user should be BANNED.
We have an entire day of sprint prelims , taking 5 minutes between each section of the sprints. And you complain about one a 28 min race where 10 guys break the old meet record and comes down a to sprint finish with 8 people in it until the end? If you can't get excited for that, go watch another sport.
NOT TO MENTION this 28 min race is the only break the sprinters get before the 4x4. Get rid of the 10k and the 4x4 is a disaster with athletes blowing up and getting hurt.
The race was fantastic, in the little time they lets us watch it. The announcers and the coverage were horrible,

Post by rojo about the shoes making all 11 guys break the previous record in 3...2...1
They all broke the meet record because they had beautiful pacing from Kiptoo lol
Hamer, Mwaura & Rodriguez just got their Qs for the Trials.
Dever & Hicks just ran faster than Scott & Farah did a few days back - -Great Britain has a couple of future stars in the making.

Dever is 24 years old, 25 in September.
Mantz will turn 25 in December.

Agreed, Rojo ban that Mofo for life. There is such history in the 10k why any running fan would want to get rid of it cannot be a fan of the sport.
LSU out of the 4x400m
Couple things.
Stones and Dan shouldn't announce anything, much less a distance race. It's a bummer McDonnell is no longer with us, but good thing for Stones and Dan - they could only talk about the weather for 5 or 6 minutes.
Nur stepped inside the rail once that I saw. DQ.
Did anyone pick Dever?
Kiptoo, up or down?
Charlie Hicks 7th as a true frosh, hanging with some 24 year olds. Props.

Kiptoo really should have done the steeple. Mantz looks like he's in the hurt box. 2 laps to go. Bandt is smiling. who is going to get it? Meet recor is going down. You might have to break the meet record to score.
hindsight is 50/50
congrats on the excellent coverage.

Stepping inside the rail once like he did is not a DQ.

Contact was made by Wildschuut (I think that's who it was) on his outside just prior to that step inside. No advantage provided. No DQ.

Dever has a very definite New Zealand accent. Definitely not British, Australian or South African.

https://tulsahurricane.com/sports/cross-country/roster/patrick-dever/9984Lol I knew I would catch flak for that.
Really, I like a good 10k—I loved watching Jeilan, but I hated Farah—I just want to be able to watch the whole thing and see how it develops.
This seemed interminable, and totally flat, even though it was fast.
ESPN needs to hire announcers who know what they're doing. Good lord.
