This thread was started before the race. We changed the title after he won it.
I had not realized that he did not have a time yet this year.
His only teammate in his heat is Will Daley. I doubt that he will sacrifice himself. He only needs to run sub 7:40. He can probably do that alone. That will make the fast heat interesting.
OP writes he "only" needs to run a sub 7:40 as if he has run 7:15 and holds the WR himself. SMH..letsrun

Lol
”only” is not vs me
”only” is for Gary Martin, who can probably do that alone.
We will see soon enough. if he goes out sub 31, then he is going for it
30.0 for Daley. he is the rabbit
Martin “only” ran 7:43
…but heat 2 is going out slow, so Martin should win

But that will not be getting him in to 3k as of now
a really odd decision to have him run 5k go to the well late 5k losing to Sands
then trying to solo TT this?
I get the team points but still he has run his ass off for them already
Martin won!

Soloed isn't totally true. He had a rabbit for 1600.
Surely the faster heat goes 2nd?

It does (and did)
Gary Martin wins ACC men's 3000 from slow heat- 7:43.
Haha indoor track is so great
Very surprising. They got 3rd as a team vs 4th without his 5k so maybe an ACC top 3 meant more to the coach. A top 3 P4 conference finish is likely much more bonus money than a NCAA 7th place.
Gary currently sits 18th in the NCAA descending list for the 3k. Only top 16 accepted entries run at NCAAs. What's the likelihood that at least 2 people ranked higher than him will scratch?

I'd say not likely as even for those who want to focus on mile there is 2 hours after the mile before the 3000. Maybe Sahlman does 800 which would only leave 1 hour.

He says, "that's out the window," after his race here:
Sounds like he'll focus on the 5K, mile, and DMR now.
