Lagat is, well, Lagat. 'Nuff said.
Webb just ran an 800 PR in his first race off the plane, and has broken two Steve Scott-held records already this year (mile MR at Drake and the USATF 1500 MR).
Teg just ran a monster 1500 PR in his first race off the plane to go with his 8:07 2M AR (which converts to 7:31, just a couple of ticks off of Kennedy's 3,000 AR).
Could 2007 see ARs at 1500, mile, 3,000 & 5,000 between these three?

Lagat lowers his 1500 AR, Webb finally gets the mile and Teg gets the 3,000 and 5,000.
The 1500 will be toughest. Webb or Lagat could get the mile, and Teg looks like he could take the 3k and 5k anytime in the next couple of months.
Not that unrealistic.
Teg now has these USA rankings on all time list:
1500 15th
3000 5th
2mile 1st
5000 4th

If you read that article about Goucher it may indicate that he could possibly take the 5,000 meter record...a lot of people hate on him and think hes not capable but honestly he only ran that 13:10 a year ago and that was after bad ankle problems...he says he is fit and if everything comes togethre for him ...especially in Osaka even if he doesn't medal we may see multiple Americans break 13 just from the competition level...how awesome would that be
I dont see Goucher getting sub-13, but would love it if he did. He is a tough runner, and clearly very talented and motivated. It would be pretty cool to see them all do it though.
Alan Webb will eventually hold the 1500-5000m records. He had an off day when Teg ran 8:07. It was a FAST day on the track. I think Webb, on a decent day, could've ran 8:04-5.

I disagree; I do not think that he will get to them after Teg puts them far enough away!!!!
Female coach having affair with male runner. Should I report it?
