Jordan McNamara 3:34!!!! Props

Totally agree, this should have got more love.

His such a class act, and a passionate runner, he suffered through injury and tough times and busts his asz to stay healthy...

He's put a lot of work in the tank, and he finally got to take it for a good spin.

I watched the race a second time, and he let up ever so little at the end, if he had not done that, he would have been a smidge under 3:34.

He races another 1500m tomorrow. Hopefully he does well and gets some well earned positive attention.

been following JMAC closely for two years now and am stoked to see this. future US team member!

It's funny, you know exactly who he is, but he probably has no clue who you are.

Please don't ruin threads complimenting a runner's performance with your issues with a poster. Feel free to start a new one of your own.

Oh, by the way. I can name one person who doesn't fit the description:

you.

Now THAT post response makes me think you have it in you to be an awesome dad.

Ummm...pardon the interruption of the Duck Debate, but the OP wanted to give much-deserved props to Jordan and highlight his performance.

I hate to go "there", but when I think of Jordan's 3:34 and the little attention he gets for running a time like that, the two folks who immediately come to mind is Steve Holman and David Krumenacker. Holman is arguably one of the greatest American 1500 runners of all time and Krumenacker ran some superb times, including winning the World Indoor 800. I often wonder what LRC would say about those guys if it was around (and as prominent) in those athlete's peak years. Whenever a thread about the "top ___" 1500 runners of all-time pops up, it's rare that you see Holman mentioned. The guy was a stud.

On a fundamental level, having attention lies in your having a following and right now, Jordan's fan support is simply limited. And while he seems to be a great kid with a respectable story-line, there just isn't as many people talking about or following him closely.

And you will be the first to jump off Manzano's wagon when he stinks it up again.

Jordan has worked incredibly hard in coming back from injury. His success is totally earned.

He was known as the Steven Erkell of track. Remembered Paul McMullen psyching him out during the trials.

At least Holman moved on and is making $$$$$ now.

Remember this?

All I wil ever remember about this guy is how he ruined the meet for his team by failing to get the ONE point they needed.

There were other guys who failed to get that points in that meet.

JMac is a great guy, it hurt him more than anyone that he couldn't get it on that day.
