Official Prefontaine Classic Thread Here/LRC Semi-Live Blog

Was he also signing the cross on the turn?

Umm....cat got your tongues? How did Webb do, etc etc etc?

I wish Kiprop ran through the line. He could have definitely run a second or two faster, or at least have gotten the meet record.

Not a bad time for Webb, he got the same time that he got last year. However, very impressive times by Lomong and Jager! 3:53 and 3:54. I didn't think Jager was going to beat Webb.

Nate Brannen sub 4 hs canadian

Leo "girled" again no nads

Webb 355 is okay not giving up

go webbster

Webb a slightly better than terrible 3:55.99. Unless he is peaking for Worlds and planning to only be able to manage about a 3:51-2 for the trials (so a 3:34-5) I have trouble believing it's part of his plan. Maybe he's getting his legs back under him, though.

she reps Bahrain but is originally Ethiopian. and i agree. very pretty. there is a row of Ethiopian restaurants here in Los Angeles and let me tell you, the ladies there are stunners too!

Is Jamal Ethiopian? I thought she really was from Bahrain. She is pretty.

Good runner also.

13 men under 4!

Leo is about as consistent as Webb.

Wow.

Bowerman mile

Brannen 3rd 3:52

Jager runs 3:54

Webb 3:55.9 much better than last week

Manzano lays a bomb in DFL at 3:58

Kenyan dude crosses himself 10x in last 100m and still destroys everyone 3:48

My brother, who is a radio DJ, said that no one cares about Track And Field. And to prove his statement he used Twitter's trending topics. This all cam about because i told him to shutup for the 4 minutes of the Bowerman Mile. He also said no one is going to remember who won this race a year from today. Baha. what a troll

jager v webb

for 7th

Nice call on Jager.

Kiprop loves it! showboating for the crowd in 2nd place, what a stud!

Great run by Brennen as well. Lomong looked good, top American.

Webb's season is over. JAGER beat him of all people. What happened to Manzano? Just a bad race?

Big lag there

well, he beat his arch-nemesis in Peter Van Vanderpiouoiejiojaiwse. Remember when Webb and Kiprop were basically talking shit to each other because they were actually competing against each other? That was awesome.

Webb >> Manzano
