Running fans?

What time was his last lap ?

Wow, second best Canadian performance ever (I think)... 4 seconds away from the Canadian record. A+ Olympic standard.

...Quite amazing for a College senior who had PRs of 8:25 (3000m) and 14:19 (5000m), 14 months ago... (probably times too slow, in the eyes of LetsRun poster, to earn a scholarship anywhere)...

What does he do now? When is he scheduled to peak?

Has he peaked already? NCAAs? Olympics?

Is Cam Levins black? My buddy says he is but i'm not too sure.

He is part black. He has grey or blue eyes - couldn't tell.

no doubt..he has a fro...definite give away...plus, he runs quickly..another sure sign.

...and 8th fastest 5,000 in NCAA history (0.01 off 7th)

Faster than Lagat, Solinski, Derrick, Maree, Teg, Ritz, Hall... just 0.4 behind Rupp...

If I'm not mistaken, he isn't part black. He's Jewish.

So sick. Levins was 55 or a little under for that last 400. That kick shows he could do some serious things in international races.

It's possible that those were his "official" PRs, but he was definitely good for faster than that 14 months ago. In 2010, he broke 4 for the mile early in the year, time trialed sub-14 in practice and won the Canadian XC championships.

Ritz woulda had his hands full in this race.

Is the Canadian 5k record really 13:14? I thought Sullivan ran 13:10 at one point. . . memory's failing me, I guess.

Best of luck to Levins- seems to be an exciting time for our Northern neighbors. Between Levins, Gills, Coolsaet, Wykes, and Watson, they've got a good crew of guys putting in the work and running well. I saw Nate Brannen ran well at Mt. SAC too.

Yeah, like get beat by 3 seconds on the last lap of a tactical 5k.

Obviously he's pretty young and has a lot of time to improve but let's not get ahead of ourselves.

13:19 is his pr.

If he is Jewish - would this time make him the fastest Jew of all time?

Jeff Schiebler has the Canadian record. I believe it's either 13:11 or 13:13.

I'm about to lap myself. Sub 13 is possible this summer.
