Cooper Teare now listed in the Bowerman Mile. Centro out

Call Webb!!

Yuck, not an even trade by any means. Field quality just went down!

Errm, Teare is a faster 1500m runner than Centro? The quality just went up.

Feels like Centro asked out. It’s not a huge field (15). Going to 16 would be totally fine especially since there’re a few guys happy to run further back.

I do not think 16 is anywhere near fine

there is a reason they run 12 man finals

12 and a pacer.. maybe 13

16? lot of stuff can happen

I’m honestly even more hyped now. Teare may not be in great shape but I think he very well may have a chance.

Thinking just the opposite lol. He’s in the shape of his life it seems but will have no chance in this race

Strange to see Centro give up his spot unless he is worried of an injury. He needs all the ranking points.

Could not agree more

3:32.x

sub 13

16 is okay if it's going to stretch out a lot. I do agree that the DL overloads races sometimes though. No reason to have more than 16 in a mile or more than 9 in an 800.

More interesting to me, too. But Teare is absolutely in great shape. And he doesn't have a chance.

This isn't a huge shock. As Jonathan Gault pointed out on the podcast, this race would be 3 weeks in a row for the 34-year-old.

That being said, the Road to Paris joke is going to be nerve wracking at the Trials If Centro wants to move up into the top 45, he ironically of all people needs to make sure the final ins't tactical. Imagine if he won the Olympic Trials in 3:50 and then didn't get to to go the Olympics. He needs it to be under 3:40 to boost his ranking as he's like 47 and they take 45.

The fact that they don't have quota reallocation is really bad. I wonder if all of the UW milers will try to hammer the pace at NCAAs. A slow tactical win does nothing for them as well.

It's really a shame you can't add your place points in even if it's a tactical race.

Bummer, but this will be telling regarding if Teare has a chance to break into the Nuguse-Hocker-Kessler big 3 that seems poised to make the team

My dude, this is the race of the year, technically no one has a chance in the same way that the horse with the best odds doesn't necessarily win.

And can we all just remind ourselves that Josh Kerr was chewed up and spit out the back of the Oslo 1500 last year which was no indication of his ability.

By that I mean, whoever comes 9th in this race is still going to be one of the baddest 1500 MFs on the planet come Paris.

Atta boy Coop, you do you!

Gourley, Beamish, Centro, Myers at the very least would go towards the back. And it would string out enough that it’s likely Garcia/Kipsang would be dropped fairly quickly based on what we’ve seen. So to me it will not be a treacherous field if they go out in 56 with the pacer.

I think a 350 college miler in the shape of his life has a "chance"

What do you mean, a chance to win? 3:50 at age 21 really means nothing in this field.

Pacers and pacing lights are Lame

No chance to what? His chances of winning outright are close to zero, but his chance of a PR or sub-3:50 is probably over 50%.
