In all seriousness, someone on another thread said Hunter had a fracture in his femur recently? Is that true? I assume they meant a femoral stress fracture or reaction. He ran well at the Millrose 3k.
crazy to see the discrepancy in results from TME. brian had a huge race finishing in 1317 and jamaine and jordan ran pretty well. then at the bottom there was drew (literally last i think) with sam, cam and joey all DNFing?
Drew Hunter beat Grant at Brooks PR, so his ceiling is much higher. Honestly gives me tingles imagining Drew Hunter shuffling his way to a 12:4x in the near future.

Statements like that when people go pro are statements that I don't understand. How do we know he or Cain would have been any better if they went to college? They at least got paid.
Dude got a minimum of $2.5 million. 10 years 250k per year.
Honestly it would be a good read if J. Gault did an article on this. EVERYONE was on the hunter fan train after their high school duals, and for good reason. Hunter looked superior it about every way. Hunter got what was probably the largest ever pro contract ever at the time and Fischer went NCAA. For a time no big surprises were seen. Hunter continued to be great making worlds while Fischer had what was a rather bland NCAA time. Didn’t do terrible by any means but didn’t have any super star moments and if memory serves right never won a championship…(although I might be wrong as I’m not looking it up). However once he turned pro it’s been quite the turn. Hunter has struggled to stay healthy and grant is now an Olympian who has made an Olympic final and now the American record holder in the indoor 5k. Hunter has recently showed some evidence of his former self but at this point it would take incredible comeback for Hunter to end up with a superior career by the time they retire. Anyway I hope Hunter makes it competitive cause I love a good rivalry.
btw: to disclose biases I too was the Hunter train back in the day but also enjoy any American doing well.
