Weren't they just about in last place even without colliding?

No they were top five. I've heard nothing but bad things about Masters

Oh wait, that's what he and obviously everyone else in the field wanted. Why? Because every single guy in that race believed he had the best kick. One big problem - none of them can sprint with Mac Fleet.
You clearly know nothing about high level racing.

This race was most certainly a dissapointment from a spectators perspective! At Hayward field of all places. The very facilitly where the great Pre would always make it into "a pure guts race." It's a shame not one of those 12 guys had the guts to go hard from the firing of the gun. As the previous poster said you might as well have lined them up and ran a 400. It would have yielded about the same result. Those guys absolutely "sacrificed the gift." A total dishonor to the legend of Pre!
Hahahahahahahahaha!
I had this post written, almost word for word, and ready to post, but I thought, "Nah, there's been enough joking about Pre"
The only durable lesson Pre taught us was to not drink and drive.
This was the most popular finish of the meet. Get over yourself.
Mac Fleet is the NCAA Champ!
They better get over it considering they're going to be teammates really soon. ;) ;)

its his own fault for letting the pace be so slow....These guys didn't need to jog 1100 meters and then kick. High school state meets are faster.
So, how many times have you run 600m in under 1:20?
This is about the stupidest assertion in all of track and field. Championship racing is about racing, not about time. Do you think some dipshit high school guy would have closed a race in 1:20 (and maybe 1:52, maybe running in lane 2-3? They would not have been close to the front at the end.
If the implicit assumption that going out at 3:38 ace would have given them the victory hands-down don't you think that coaches and athletes that know more than you would have figured it out over the 10+ years that they have been reading LetsRun to figure out what smart racing is.
Yes, this kind of race increases your chances of going down, but it increases everyone chances of going down and generally that does not diminish their likelihood of winning. By the way, probably of the guys that far back were contending for the podium in this case because they have to finish a modest prelim, followed by a 58-second 500m with a 11-second last 100m.
After seeing the interview I will alter that opinion about where people could finish. To bad you cannot go edit those remarks.
