Ah, come on. its a bold and admirable move by rupp.
he looked exactly like how you would expect the best distance runner in america to look when trying to run a 3k after a marathon.
I wonder how the race would have looked without the Schumacher pack. He didn't seem like he had much left for a kick, so maybe not that much.

Your a fukking idiot. He didn't embarrass himself. Just didn't have enough speed to compete.
What is wrong with you?
Okay, any one have Chelimo in the contest?
that was kinda pathetic from the BTC guys
Do Chelimo and Jenkins have the world standard?

Umm, actually he did. That was the epitome of embarrassing. For him to think he had enough to make worlds, but to be that far from actually making worlds is embarrassing in over-confidence, self-awareness, and performance.
This is coming from a guy who believed he destroy the field in LA last month and will compete for a medal in Rio this August.

There is NOTHING embarrassing about what Rupp did. It's quite impressive and he had the guts to take on all these guys knowing it wasn't optimal, in front of his home crowd.
Remember all the not Rupp certified crap back in the day? This is the opposite of that. This is the, there's a good chance this won't work out and there's some real risk of injury, but let's do it anyway.
On a side note, it is kind of funny how many lambs had to be sacrificed on BTC to make sure Hill makes it. Or maybe it was more to make sure Rupp didn't win. But I haven't been too impressed with Jäger at 3000 this indoor season.
Hill should do well at worlds.

Yah why the heck isn't Jager running stride for stride with Hill? It is one thing not to win/make the team but he wasn't really competitive.

He'll need to close a lot faster than 58.
Loaded field, awesome run by Hill, congrats! Jager was my dark horse, didn't quite have it. Rupp, ballsy decision to even race. Reason #48 why I'm always in his corner.
It looks like king ches is doing the DMR. The oregon training staff and Andy Powell were waiting for him track side. THey helped untie his spikes and put on his trainers and off he went!!
The awards lady said, "He needs to go to awards for the 5k now." they told her, "He has another race.""
That was a great race to watch. Finally unpredictable and fun... Rupp did fine for a post marathon run...Hill dominated...but I was surprised how badly Jager rigged though. With his pedigree he should have made the team easy with that huge lead at 400m left...Jenkins waited too long. Too bad. Like that guy.

I agree. Rupp was good.
But remember at the 1976 Olympics Lasse Viren ran two 10ks, two 5ks and a marathon within 9 days and then four days later he ran a 8:21 two mile.
It should not be a surprise that Rupp ran 7:48 tonight.
Jager isn't impressed with your 8min/mi tempos
Did the Bowerman guys mean to go out in 58? All that did was make the race a much harder victory for Hill and cost Jager any chance at top 3.
is another results site as the USATF one isn't updating.

Case for Rupp being clean?
Schumacher's boys pulled quite the stunt tonight just to get their top guy to win. To me it sort of tarnishes Hill's victory. He should be able to pull it off on his own if he wants to stand a chance at World's. LRC would be b**ching and moaning a lot louder if NOP did the same thing. Look at all of the BTC bodies littered on the track just to get Hill to the front, and then he almost got pipped by Chelimo anyway.

Right. People should only comment if they are running national class times.
The stupid is strong with you.

I agree- I thought it was awesome that they were trading the lead working with each other and just trying to get a BTC sweep. When Lomong stepped off the track I was pretty darn disappointed. Definitely takes away from it and shows that they need that many of them to get their man/men to the front as opposed to them being able to have the racing tactics to be better than all others.
