Why did Cheserek not run at the gun? He stayed at the starting line for like 2 seconds, and then sprinted the first 100? He could've run 4:05 or something if he didn't do that.
According to Futsum's coach, Ches didn't realize that the 'horn' was the gun, and was awaiting a gun. Silly mistake, and even sillier to try and make up the ground he lost in 150 meters. But he is still a prep athlete (despite what the haters say) and does have time to learn. Futsum's 4:05 is impressive as well because he will not be a miler in college. Should be dangerous closing speed in the NCAA 5k/10k.
