Impressive, wow, he looked completely in control of his race, he went past the field with 100 left... Without pressing or any all out sprint...he was gliding, low knees...

Race Review:
At the start, Wheatings first step was "backwards," he then lumbered forward and "broke" for the back of the pack at the line. He moved up whenever needed to stay within contact of the lead 5, when challenged on the back stretch he handily moved up and into contention.
Running most of the race just into the second lane, he put himself in position with 200 left and then picked up the pace to over take the field and drive through to the finish for the win.
The last 30 meters he shut it down a bit winning his heat easily and advancing to the finals.
All the finalists ran under 1:47.5.
The final should be fantastic!
Mulder looked relaxed running 147.1 as well...
This final is going to be nasty.
Yeah he looked good and I'll be honest, after all his 1:48 and 1:49 (i know just ran to win) races this season I was starting to wonder about him. Be he actually looked much better running at this pace. He could get under his 1:45.0 pr in the final with Tevan going out fast.
Then he SHOULD be able to RUN a sub 1:40 in the final!!!! NEW World Record is coming right? NICE!!!!
I fully expect Wheating to win.
It is his time to prove he can do it on the day.
How about Foster from PSU in the 1st heat -- another PR, 2nd place and under 1:47. Meet's gone pretty well for him so far, I wonder if he'll have enough left in the tank to do well in the final.

He will win the final, no question. The question is, will he just go to win, or will he finally unleash and make a statement?
I say:
1)wheating 1:44.8
2)mulder 1:46.1
3)everett 1:46.3
I'd rather watch Scully run.
Wheating IS BACK! Just coming on now, look out USA's.

That would be sophomore Francis Scully from George Mason, who ran 1:47.4 early in the spring. Unfortunately, he got injured before regionals so he didn't compete at Nats. However, he has a tremendous upside, so once he gets healthy I expect big things from him next year.

Well Duckz, it looks like Centro also "jogged" in! LMFAO! And everyone said that Fernandez cant win when it counts. Well you can add Centro to that list too, right??

umm, you do know that you are "LMFAO" at someone who ran with a stress fracture right? in the foot. he knew he was done last week at PRE but came in and gave it a go anyway. I'm not sure if you've seen matt run this season but it was clear from lap one that he was not right. if you ever get a stress fracture in your foot and race on the track you might understand.
Centro is a little baby. Prefontaine finishes with a shoe full of blood. Bowerman rolls in his grave at Centro's crappy effort.
meh.
It's to bad Jacob Hernandez isn't there...
or he would win.
