The guy is at LEAST one tier below everyone else in the field, and also below probably dozens of runners who would never be allowed to the starting line?
My question: which element of the USATF-Nike-IAAF you-pat-my-back-I-pat-yours club is it that gets runners who simply AREN'T world-class into world-class races?
HE IS THE U.S. CHAMP!!!
If my boy didn't belong there, he wouldn't be there.
Bitter much?

Why are you such a douche?
As a poster you are at LEAST one standard deviation if IQ below the normal posters - who the BroJos look down upon anyway?
My questions: which element of Head Start/Pre-School/Mentally Challenged program did you escape from and why did the let YOU near a computer?

He's a US champion and is costing the meet €0.00 by being in the race. If you were the US 1500m Champion and were in Paris and ready to run, you could probably be in the race, too.
A better question is why those slugs Lagat, Wheating, and Manzano who recently lost to Centrowitz are in the field.
I bet he surprises some of the letsrun haters today.

Oh but then he'd be on peds! A letsrun hater is a rare breed of loser who will find any reason to hate.

This, end of f***ing story.
That is the best answer you can give?
"Um...because he is US champ."
I don't give a d@mn if he is US champ. He has a PR of 3:36.92, which is 17th of 18 in the field (he is 0.06 ahead of the 18th seed, the mighty Manuel Olmedo (who has a 3:37 this year to Centrowitz's 3:40). There is no denying that he is a VERY weak element in the field. Totally outclassed. He's racing 3:29-3:31 guys, which is like him racing a 3:44 guy. He didn't even crack the world top 100 performances in 1500 last year.
Stopwatch, boys. Stopwatch.
He is a complete scrub in this field. Period. If your only argument is that he won USATF, you are only proving my point. There are plenty of non-DL races he could run in Europe. Ask the dozens of faster runners who race them.
Now, who got this scrub into a the race when there are a dozen or more other runners could take it to him any time?
The question remains as to why you are complaining about Centro and not the other Americans that he beat the crap out of a couple weeks ago.
Ulrey ran 3:35 in Europe after a long collegiate season. I am thinking Centro and his coach are using him as an example of possibly getting hoovered to a 3:35. And oh yea - he beat Lagat at his own game. Pretty sure this kid can rip a 3:29 right now.
How stupid are you going to feel after Centro totally holds his own in this race?

The question remains?
OK, here are the answers:
Lagat 326
Wheating 330
Manzano 332
Like I said, I don't give a flying frack if he won USATF. He won it in 340, which compared to the guys in this field is like winning against Special Olympians. Which is exactly what Centrowitz is going to look like in a few hours. I'll be watching live, so you can come here to eat it when I'm proven right.
inb4 Centro owns the field
honestly - You are almost certainly a troll and not a good one at that.
Meets can invite anyone they want to. Last time I checked, they don't need to ask you.
It's a race, silly. Anything can happen.
i guarantee you centro will not be last today, probably not even in the last 5
Of course they can invite whoever they want.
The question is WHY invite this clown when 50 of my countrymen can beat him any day of the week.
Nobody seems to have an answer. Certainly not you.
