Sam Gilman of the Air Force Academy had the fastest final lap in the men's 5000 and placed 6th, the highest placing by any collegiate in either the 5000 or 10000 races.
After placing only 15th at NCAAs in 14:19.91, he crushed it at USATFs and ran a PB 13:27.49 for 6th and only missed the team by 1.5 seconds. He was in 12th place with only 600 to go and moved up to 6th. BEST KICK OF THE DAY!
And unlike normal college students whose semesters end around May 1 and have their summers free, he will spend all but about two or three weeks this summer involved in some sort of military training. Academy students don't get the summers off.
