Dylan Jacobs (28:01) and Mercy Chelangat (31:55) win Bryan Clay

Meanwhile, at Mt. Sac, China's WuGa He (32:25) and Texas Haftu Knigh (28:32) were the winners.

Chelangat #7 all-time right behind Venters

Jacobs wearing cheater shoes. Won’t count for world athletics but fine for NCAA

ncaa really doesn’t care about cheating

What do you mean, what was he wearing?

he was not in spikes but some road racing shoes I believe.

So he ran at a disadvantage and still won, got it ✔️

Yeah, isn’t the consensus that the road shoes on the track would be roughly equal or worse for the first 24 laps and then Jacobs would actually be at a disadvantage in the kick?

It was drizzling during the race and the track was really wet. So technically, yes, he was at a disadvantage.

He wore them last year when he won the NCAA 10k too. Kick looked pretty good there! Agree that it is odd though

BYU 4 guys 28:01 - 28:05.

Clinger: 2017; Senior
Thompson: 2021; Sophomore
Garnica: 2018; Senior
Nokes: 2019; Sophomore

Thompson is the only legit one

Those times are solid times, but nothing like the incredible marks put up in Gainesville today.

Tarsis Orogot 19.60

Britton Wilson 53.23

Julien Alfred 21.91

Honestly, Jacobs looked like he was jogging, like 90% effort.

Also, why on earth are Bryan Clay and Mt Sac held simultaneously 7 miles apart. Ridiculous….

Ed Eyestone is just a great coach.

Because Bryan Clay was put on for people who couldn't get into MTSAC originally.

They all have at least eight more years of super secret byu eligibility left.

I think the point is you need rules for a sport to be legitimate. Whether they give him an advantage or disadvantage really isn't the point that people that think he shouldn't wear them are making.

I mean didn't the NCAA keep someone like Neguse out of the meeting because he ran the qualifying time in a meeting that didn't meet their rules.

☝️ Jacobs falls into this category 4 of the top 5 runners aren’t legit. Right…

I've worn Vaporfly's for a 10K before and actually don't think they are a disadvantage. 10K is a long time to be wearing spikes, even with the new spikes your legs can really get worn down by the end if you haven't done a ton of training in them
