A talented athlete who has had 2 down years becasue of injury, who is now healthy, close to his old self, just ran his 2nd best time under less than ideal circumstances and has qualified to compete in the USOT, where a lot of people think he can run even faster. - Let me know what part of this you don't understand?
This was his best 1500m time ever, his previous pr was 3:39.0 from freshman yr nationals. Unless you're saying his 2nd best performance behind the 13:25 5k. I still think this means he's close to being back, i doubt he's in the same shape he was in freshman yr. had he kept pushing for a time his freshman yr for a 1500 the way he's been doing this season he surely would have run close to the 3:35 A standard.
Hopefully he keeps improving and does well at the trials, making the final would be a big accomplishment for him this season. maybe he could pull at matt centrowitz but i don't think he has a 51 in his legs, 53/54 at best. Then next yr he'll get with Salazar and he'll improve a lot.
