Winning the DMR With a 3:52 only 30 minutes after winning the 5000? Can anybody name a better double?

Proof the college racing schedule (running more races) is better than pros who rarely toe the line?

No.. Not at all.. What?
But on a realy note, ABSOLUTELY AMAZING RUNS.
Name a better one then?
Louis Zamperini did a similar double back in the late thirties. And I don't think Ches is ever gonna be on a raft. But still, baby he was born to run
I really though Yorks was hot dogging it, but no, he was on 3:53 pace. He's the fastest american born ncaa indoor miler and looked like shit compared to Ches. And that's a testament to Ches, not a diss to Yorks.
....the only greatest thing this was was the greatest display of doping
That was insane! I was on the edge of my seat
Although this shows how easy that 5k was for him, it was the greatest feat I've ever seen in the NCAA. Hands down.
Joe falcon...1989 NCAA indoors...10 laps to the Mike board track....wins the mile...comes back 45 minutes later in a 3k that had to be won to take the team title...comes through, pumping his fist with a full lap to run. One of the greatest moments in track and field I've seen with my own two eyes.
Paavo Nurmi 1500/5k double gold 1924 Olympic Games? Less than 2 hours between races.

Lawi Lalang 2013:
6:10 PM
1 324 Lawi Lalang JR Arizona 3:58.52 3:54.74M
7:55 PM
1 324 Lawi Lalang JR Arizona 7:42.79 7:45.94M
2 meet records in 2 hours going 3:54/7:45 is better than what Ches just did. Not saying Ches couldn't run that too, but Lawi's performance was the best in recent memory.
Yeah, I didn't want to think it about Cheserek. But I have to agree with you.
Some of the miraculous improvements of Oregon distance runners over the past two or three years were suspicious to say the least -- still, I really didn't want to believe it about Chez.
But doubling back THAT quickly with THAT kind of race, it isn't humanly possible without doping. Never has been. Never will be.
It would have been one thing to double back with a gut-spilling all-out 3:59 or so. But the man kicked it in like Butch Reynolds over the last 150 meters, off a 3:54 pace. (Come to think of it, Butch Reynolds is the last guy I saw who looked so fresh while running a world elite time. Then we found out later why Butch was always so fresh.)
A "strength and conditioning" specialist is now one of the greatest distance coaches in NCAA history. That sure has a funny smell to it.
Haters will hate King Ches is the G O A T END OF THREAD GO DUCKS
David Kimani maybe? He split 3:51 and won the 3k/5k.
First part-baller genetics, probably very dialed in nutrition to get supa lean = domination.
Last part-Andy Powell =/= s&c coach
As I mentioned on another thread... not to take away from the performance itself, but people are losing sight of the fact that the 5k was irrelevant. 30seconds of off his PB? This was a 3mile tempo followed by an all out mile, what he ran tonight was about as good as he will run for the year in the mile/1500.
Vin's greatest ability at Stanford (and Oregon) was in getting his best guys to run their best when it counted. Seems like Andy is no different.
Great job to the Oregon guys.
Never happened.

Great interview with Steve Cram - says Jakob has no chance of WRs this year
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
