Great find...but when watching the video I don't see any body movement from the jersey grab. I did notice many other runners bumped and pushed, or had their strides broken yet no foul called on any of thoase incidents?!?!?

You are right on the money about Jenkins being impeded.I was at the meet and in Lalang wasn't spotted a ten yard lead over the last 200m Jenkins would have been going to the wire for a photo finish. If the New Balance company in Lawrence Mass. is watching they should offer this athlete a shoe contract right now.

Thanks for your insight to the inner politics of big time Div.1 track. As a former miler from N.U. track I was at the finish line at the meet and was routing for both Jenkins, and Campbell for the team score. Campbell actually was boxed and ran up the back of Errassa after Jenkins was throwned off balance by Campbell. N.U. is a working class large university that takes pride in their student athletes. This Jenkins kid is a class act and is just starting his track career, and his closing 200m after spotting Lalang a 10-15m lead as a result of incidental bumping was awesome. I think he would have won the whole race, but there is one undeniable fact that his time was the 3rd fastest 3000m time ever by an American. New Balance shoe company in Lawrence, Mass. should sign him to a shoe contract today! Oh yes congratulations to the head coach from Arkansas,and his staff for winning his 1st NCAA championship after 5 years of hard work. Oh by the way he is a former coach from Beverly Mass.
