Not bad.

What's the word? Tweener? Is his best event once that is never raced outdoors? Seem like a 3:54/13:15 guy. Both good times, but not world final good.

I want to see him go 5000m/10000m from here on out.

He laid a beat down on that field. Well done, son.

I'm impressed he beat collis birmingham, he's had a good season recently.

List of tweener distances: 50m, 150m, 300m, 500m, 600m, 1k, 1200m, 2k, 3k, 2 mile, 12k, 15k, half marathon, and 25k. Andrews is probably better at the 600, 1k, and 1200 than he is at the 800 or 1500. As for Jenkins, I think he would be best at the 4k, if there was a 4k.

funny story. My brother was a good high school runner. joined the Army and had to do the 2 miler along with everyone else at Ft Hood. his course record was 7:42. LOL nothing to do with Jenkins' decent time on a real course. just the 7:42 time reminded me of that.

Obviously the army's records are faster than the world records, because those guys are strong! Like you wouldn't believe!

Evan Jager could probably go faster with two steeple barriers on the track.

Ignorant!!!! Army is full of a bunch of talkers and wannabes. There all full of shiznet. 7:42 for a mile sounds about right.

I smirked, then realized this was almost entirely possible.

running 7:41 while winning by 8 seconds suggests there is more in the tank. make me look good, eric! I had your ceiling this year in the mid 7:30s, I think.

While I think he could have gone faster, if you saw the video of the race you would see that he was basically paced until the last lap and didn't really kick that fast. The guy behind him basically just died and slowed down.
