Lagat ran 3:26. Cheserek was toasted in a 1500m around 3:36-38 last year at the end of his season and he then struggled in a Euro 3k and closed his season. But with Jenkins at 13:07 right off the bat, you'd think that Cheserek would have the ability to run sub 13 next year or the year after. There haven't been a lot of opportunities to do that (maybe Kejelcha will start pushing these times after his breakthrough, who knows?), however, and Cheserek has not shown the ability to run on his own.
Na. Even if he goes after it at Peyton Jordan or something like that, its not Oregons style to run fast. They run for wins, especially Ches and don't typically go after any times in the outdoor season. Maybe they'll turn him loose though at some point since its an olympic year.
Lawi ran 13:00, ches can break 13
Who age cheated? Bernard Lagat or Adam Goucher. When Lagat was in college, some complained that he was too old to compete with younger Goucher. But after college, Adam Goucher gained 10 years in one day and Bernard Lagat became too young to compete with older Goucher. Old Goucher chose to retire.
He could you know wrote:
He might as well get it out of the way at this point
No and no.
No American broke 13 in 2015:
