Indeed. Is there any hope we can keep him away from Alberto?

i'd love to see Jerry get him so we can be 100% to believe in what he does as a pro. I don't like having 50% doubt about the NOP guys.

I'm sure Ches backed off...he just allowed senior Jenkins a bit of glory before he graduates and is never heard of again.

An embarrassment of riches...
Not sure what happened with Elkaim, he ran a smokin 3,000 a few weeks ago at the Dempey.
Geoghegan, impressive getting Campbell at the line to insure The Sweep.

He did back off.

Right after he realized he wasn't winning, and checked behind to make sure he had 2nd locked up.

Ches was all out until at least the final 20m. He only adopts that arm swing when he's all out. Obviously he was tired from the mile earlier and having to close in 2:19, but he was still giving all he had in that 3000m and Jenkins bested him on this occasion.

Looked like Jenkins won it fair and square.

Let's be real though, Oregon could have had Chez just run the 3 and 5k.
Jenkins had the lighter workload, for sure.
It's all good though, these Oregon guys are a tight Team, and THAT is what they will remember when they are 50 - not who won which.

We'll post the post race interview when we can.

He didn't back off to let anyone win...he got outkicked. Sure these guys go at it in workouts. For the person that says Jenkins goes away...yeah sure. Battles Lalang when he was thought unbeatable and Ches when people say the same and gets him. We will hear a lot about Mr Jenkins in the future. Very bright future indeed.

I can't wait until the guys give me a call.
Was it 100%, "Yes I let him win" or was it, "It would have been really hard as Seratos made me run the #2 time in collegiate history for the last 1k to win the mile so I backed off so I can believe I let him win."
This is so awesome. I feel like I'm 18 again and just falling in love with the sport.
