Will Leer, 3:34.26 today in Belgium

Think how much faster he could run without that stupid beard.

Are you saying that these people are idiots because they claimed he hadn't run under the Olympic or W.C. "A" standard?

Were they wrong?

Grats on the A standard (finally) Mr. Leer.

There are no more A standards.

Guys, calm it down. He didn't have an A standard, now he does. Now that he has 3:34/3:51, he may be able to get into another DL this season, but he's gonna have to put in a surge between 700-1000m in order to even get into the top ten. Nice run will if you're reading this :()-"go OTC"

Leer is having a breakout year. I'm more impressed by the win than the time.

OTC Elite Elijah Greer also had a PB in Huesden with a 1:44.91. 3rd race this week. This might also get Greer into a DL this season. Congrats to both!

I'm Ron Burgundy?

That was me all these years.

It is about time he got the standard because he has had numerous chances over the years. Now he can concentrate on placing top 3 and mking a team and no more whining!

From the 5k:

Solinsky, 13:50

Fernandez, DNS

Derrick, 13:14

Bumbalough, 13:30

BTC guys seem well past their peak. Maybe Derrick should train with Rupp.

With all due respect Leer is the idiot and all the losers who worship his beard. Put him against real competition....,oh wait he ducks real competition.

Looks lik his Nike connection is finally paying off. :wink: :wink:

the Shum group tanked all weekend....were are all their fanboy/girls now??? Letsrun trashes Al Sal but no balls to look at how bd the shum, guys are doing and post it.

Oh Rupp fails at record...yet nothing on how they failed in the steeple in Monaco and today in Huedsen. Just pathetic

We are not in the qualifying window yet for the next WCs. That won't begin until October 1.

And we won't know what the qualifying standard is for the 1500m until the IAAF meeting in November.

So, while he did run under the "A" standard for the last WCs, that's pretty meaningless.

Not true.

One standard for WC's and it certainly wont be lower than 3:35.0.

window always opens around May 4th (Payton Jordan). They would not have enough for meet if the window opened October/November!

Yes, all too true.
