Rupp did close that fast, but I think solinsky closed his senior 5k in 4:00
Not that it matters but Rupp closed one of his (5K/10K) out in 2:25 for the last 1000 and the other out in around 4:00 for the last 1600. He was doubling (meaning 5K/10K/5K in 3 days) and he did not actually go out for the last 1600 in the 4:00 or 4:01. He actually went hard for only 1200-1300 meters of it and slowed up to the finish (in the 1000 kick as well).
That's what was so nuts. Rupp was running 2:25 for the last 1000 in on and 4:00 or 4:01 in the other both while just cruising into the line.
