weird. what kind of health issue did he have in mid december that made it so he couldn’t race a 2000 on Jan 10 but could run 3:49 for a mile on Jan 17?

Why do people assume he’s 19 but doubt Phanuel Koech’s age?

Dude what happened to Joe Waskom. Doesn’t always come out guns blazing indoors, but 359.9 is his slowest season opener since 2023 to my knowledge

He should have joined Gjert

Maggi Congdon breaks Shelby’s mile meet record as well. 4:27
Rough days for Joe Waskom (3:59), Josiah Tostenson (4:06) and Tyrone Gorze (4:10). Will we ever see these guys recapture their previous form?

Phanuel Koech was born in a village in Kenya, a country with quite variable birth registration, as low as 12% in some counties ().Sam Myers was born in Canberra, a city of 500,000 people in a first world country.
Who’s Sam Myers?

It was a bank account balance health issue.

what does this mean? even if not much, he would stand to benefit more financially from a medley relay gold than a time trial at the dempsey.

To be fair, 2023 was the best season he's had, making the US team in the 1500. He definitely hasn't done any better than that in the past year.

Maybe because he has a valid birth certificate from a hospital and there are birth announcements from his parents that can be verified?

Your post isn't clever. It's kind of sad.

Can Jakob run 3:49 right now? I doubt it, Myers is the future, Jakob is the past, Hocker is the winning present.

You are incredibly disingenuous. Kenya began age-cheating like mad in the 1980s with their junior squads and have continued to do so to this day. They also ALL lie to improve contract chances. Finally, take a good look at Koech, a guy who’s coached by a man (Berardelli) who has six athletes under suspension (that we know of) which also lowers Koech’s credibility quite a bit:
Obviously Koech left his teen years behind a while back.
