1 Matthew Centrowitz Oregon 3:36.92

not to mention that he just blew by everyone on the backstretch and finished it off at the end! Incredible finish!

And to add, Lauren Centrowitz PR'ed big in 4:10 in the Womens 1 heat!

That's an absurd race. Wow.

It's kind of hard to argue with Oregon's success at this point, now isn't it?

very very impressive run from Centro. What is going on at Oregon? they are turning everything they touch to gold!

After this I just expect Oregon guys to lay it down.. the 4 x mile record has to be history.

Well lets break down Oregon's best 1500/mile times for the team now.

Centro 3:36 1500

Wheating 3:38 1500

Rupp: 3:57 mile

Acosta: 3:58 mile

McNamara: 3:41 1500

Wall: 3:43 1500

Kiptoo-Biwott: 3:43 1500

Withers: 4:03 mile

Klotz: 4:04 mile

And for other distances this season

10K

Puskedra 28:34

Diego 28:48

Danny 28:53

Crazy Oregon!

Yeah but what about the ladies? Kosinski's been trying to break 4:18 with the perfect set up for a while and blood seems to be on a rollercoaster ride. Do the women get as much attention?

3-4 second PRs for both wisco guys as well, right?

So I would guess Webb is about in 3:37flat shape or a little better.

What happened to Sherer? He wasn't rabbiting was he?

holy f*ck.

Women are doing well, I'd say- Buckman ran 2:05.1 tonight and they have 3 at 4:18 or better. Also Bridgmon is top 5 on the NCAA 10k list and Blood has run 15:42 already this season.

Yes, they had been repeatedly in the 4:00(3:42) +/- 1 second until this race. Of course, they have been doing some racing with lesser times (e.g., Miller 2nd NCAA Mile).

Centro's race is up - http://www.runnerspace.com/video.php?do=view&video_id=11763

Now imagine Barrios at that bottom there hitting 3:30, maybe 1:44 too, and you'll understand the amazing power of EPO. It's really amazing Ramzi got away with it for so long.

Centro's race was amazing, but what a bunch of great times! Man, running 3:37 and getting 7th?

According to uwbadgers.com, they are respectively 3rd and 5th now on the all-time Badger 1500m list. Not too shabby.

4:18 doesn't cut it this year.

Not even at the PAC10 level. The huskies will chew em up and spit em out once again.

I doubt that the Huskies will chew anyone up. They are mostly overtrained, undernourished and injured (as expected).

Babcock ran 4:33 for a mile in high school. She has run 4:17. They also have Follett and K.Campbell also at 4:18.XX. Should be a very interesting Pac-10; Blood ran 4:14 last year, but didn't do it until the week before the Pac-10s.

None of them can run with Centrowitz, but should be a good battle for 2nd and 3rd.
