Collis MF Birmingham- outkicks Rupp at Oxy HP 5K!

talk about a party crasher...

Sit and kick, EPIC fail!!

HE Would have won Payton Jordan cause it was an honest pace, this race he tried to work on his kick, didnt work...

haha yeah, its kinda what he gets for having the fastest PR in the field and taking advantage of slower guys making them do all the work the first 4400m

13:18... Not worthy of the "MF" title.

Birmingham looks like the progeny of Steve Jones.

Times at least 10-15 sec slow due to heat and wind. Rowbury in particular looked fantastic.

So, he outkicked an Olympic silver medalist? A guy who just ran 13:01 indoor? and that gets no "MF" title?

great to see. I get so sick of his set up time trials, and then his sit and kick tactics. homie got hammered tonight, and I loved every second of it. perhaps he's just not on the sauce yet?

shades of solinsky in 2010. when rupp loses, letsrun erupts in celebration lol!

will Rupp ever get his 54/55 last lap speed back?

Okay, was i the only one that heard the crowd in the stands errupt when Birmingham made that pace? crazy!

13:20ish? Yawn. What is this, 2003?

oh, elfie is always on the sauce

Yeah, if Rupp doesnt get that last lap together (and Levins) its going to be a tough DL summer for those two... those guys go 13:00 pace til the last 400 and close it out to where they get low 12:5x so unless Rupp leads the 4k (which he wont) to stop the 4th k from slowing down like it always does then idk if he can break the AR

Guys considering the condition werent ideal (just like we say with the womens race and how it got slow towards the end) the mens weather wasnt any better... id say with better pacing (pacing was really sloppy) and with Payton Jordan weather these guys run 13:08 with the same effort

Rupp shouldve ran the 1500m

Yeah, 8 threads on Rupp getting took down, i feel like a lot of people wanted this

Could you guys imagine Cain being tooken down like that in the Womens 1500m?
