He was a close second behind Diego Estrada in the U.S. 5K Road Championships. He beat Matt Centrowitz, Maverick Darling, Trevor Dunbar, Girma Mecheso and other good runners.
What I wondered is why didn't he run any cross country, since that supposedly was his favorite sport. Until someone actually interviews him, we won't know. Perhaps he isn't getting quite the mileage he needs because he has to keep cutting back to avoid all his chronic injuries. Who knows.
GF did run at least one XC race - he ran well at the club champs race:
