A hero for us all at LRC!

So happy for him! Running 8:14.07 to meet the 8:15 standard with only a week remaining in the qualifying window is about as clutch as it gets. Congratulations, Dan!

Dan MF michalski!! I love this full circle story after providing pacing services for Corrigan last year. American hero.

I just watched his interview from the U.S. championships. I highly recommend, if anyone hasn't seen it already. He talked about his journey the last few years since finishing 4th at the 2021 Olympic Trials. Inspiring stuff.
He gives a lot of credit to Coach Eyestone for his success. Curious: does anyone keep a running tally/list of how many runners Eyestone has coached to make a global championship team in the steeplechase? That group has really been on a roll lately.

Good dude. Run Elite Program is insane right at the moment. Like, holy crap.

He’s not really in the Air Force. But when Kenyan-born athletes, it gets questioned.
Not a fan of this fakery.

At least he was honest about it? Sounds like he couldn’t get a job or sponsorship and it was a last resort.

Congrats Dan!! Amazing to see dreams become a reality!

He ran 8:20 in the spring of 2021 (under the 2021 Olympic standard) and was 4th in the Olympic Trials Finals that season, missing the team by .49 of a second. He wasn't exactly a slouch. If he had made that team then people would know who he is. Perspective helps. He was a D2 Champion at Cedarville College.

So unless Keter runs the standard in the next week or so, the US worlds team this year will include the 2017 DII steeple champion (Michalski) AND the 2021 DIII steeple/5k champion (Wilkinson)! Great underdog stories

I won a couple of races in the meet the night Henry Rono set the WR for the steeple in Washington back in the day.
It amazes me we are celebrating 8:14s 50 years later.
Henry started with a crowd of guys who's only interest was falling in the water jump.
He didn't start really running until many of them had cleared out.

We probably haven’t had a “world class” male steepler since Jager. On the other hand, Rooks is an Olympic silver medalist.
Anything can happen in the event. But first you have to get in the competition.
