Daniel Komen jogs 7:49 3k's like Wheating jogs NCAA prelims. Komen was the first world class professional jogger.
But for a guy like Leer, 7:49 is a good mark but only that - good. German ran 7:47 indoors as an 18 year old, Rupp ran 7:49 for an AJR, German ran 7:51 coming off of injury and Evan Jager ran 7:41 off of 3:54/13:22 range.
Leer has run 3:56 and 3:37 THREE years in a row. 2008, 2009, 2010 and this past year he finally ran 3:55. He's only run 1:47 although MAYBE he could go faster than that now, so without Ventolin lining up 1:47 and 7:49 he seems to be making the most of his 1500 potential. All you aboard the mustache bandwagon need a grip of reality - he might run 3:33 eventually, but it's just as likely he won't because it seems like he's lived up to his ability.
Toro: He might be better than a long shot because of his kick. He took 4th in the 2008 Olympic Trials when he didn't have the A standard and has done well in championship meets that go out slowly. He doesn't have a chance in a European time trial that goes 3:30 at the front but 3:40 or slower he'll be in good position. So who knows, that mustache might carry him into London 2012.
