Colby Gilbert Destroys Cheserek

Who? No really, have no idea who this guy is.

Ches is a former NJ HSer by way of Africa who now runs for University of Oregon.

I agree with Robert Johnson - well Letsruns Rojo - not Oregon's Rojo.

By telling them who they can and can't talk to, you are bordering on plantation type control.

A rare collegiate loss for Cheserek on the track in a race he tried to win (so ignoring the Stanford 10ks). As a frosh, in track, his only loss besides Stanford 10k was the Pac 12 1500 when he lost to Lawi Lalang in 3:36 and then the NCAA 5k.

Last year, besides Stanford, Chesereks' only loss to a collegian during the season was to Jenkins at NCAAs in the 3k. He also got beat by alot of guys in the Millrose mile but no collegians.

After the serason waqs over, on 7/2/15 at the Portland Summer Twilight 1500, Cheserek was 4th in 3:37.08, lost to two pros plus Oregon's Colby Alexander, who had just graduated.

As a junior, he's had two losses but only one to a collegian.

10/17/15 Pre-Nats XC (2nd in 23:22.8, lost to Virginia Tech's Thomas Curtin)

2/20/16 Millrose Games 3k (6th in 7:40.51; didn't lose to a collegian)

He was also outkicked by Williamsz at Penn in the 4 x Mile (when he was no doubt giving an all out effort). And he lost to Korolev at '14 xc regionals (with excuses).

His form under stress isn't great.

Cheserek isn't exactly at Oregon to go to class. He'll be another dimwit without a degree just like Rupp.

Another dimwit who makes more money in a year than you will make in about 10. But you're the smart one.

This is a really significant development! Look for this guy (sorry, can't remember his name) to win NCAAs this year, punch his ticket for Rio in a couple of months, and go down as one of the all-time greats in US distance running history.

You guys are classic.

I remember when Ches was beat by Curtin in the fall one would have thought the sky was falling on Ches. Remember how that played out later on?

He's fine.

Another anonymous fwit.

Chez has academic awards, and studies more than most college kids.

Try and keep up on the press.

Are you serious or joking with the grammar bs? Either way, what a douche.

Lol really?? Pretty sure he was talking about Colby Gilbert, who Rojo already explained...

You're not the brightest bulb in this thread are you?

Eh probably not. He won't be a multi time world and Olympic champ like Geb, Bekele, etc. you don't get paid for NCAA titles and you know if you aren't the top 3 distance runners in the world you get paid the same as any random Joe making 100k. Still not bad for a hobby.

UW men are on fire this year.

Yorks dusted a high-quality field as well (it would be nice to have splits):

Finals

1 Yorks, Izaic Washington 3:41.56 9

2 Creese, Robby Penn State 3:42.29 7

3 Prakel, Sam Oregon 3:42.57 6

4 Nelson, Blake Washington 3:43.19 5

5 Haney, Blake Oregon 3:46.08 4

6 Abert, Colin Penn State 3:47.70 3

7 Endress, Wade Penn State

Profile of Colby Gilbert from Vancouver, WA, USA linked below, written by someone who really knows how to write:

http://www.gohuskies.com/ViewArticle.dbml?ATCLID=209600959

Gilbert was not heavily recruited out of H.S., and Washington was the only Div. I school that was really interested. He redshirted 2013-14 at UW but won U.S. Juniors and ran at the World Juniors in the summer of 2014.

Those Washington Huskies have a way of bringing the mighty down. There was once a wrestling king by the name of Gable who was dethroned by a Washington Husky (Larry Owing)

It is only fitting that King Chez met a similar fate.

Can't believe Ches lost at home. Was it a hot day? Has he been hurt? I can't believe he doesn't have the speed to cover that kind of move. It wasn't THAT fast.

Respect to Gilbert for taking on the King. Gutsy race.

Sounds like he needs to face more dudes named Colby, they seem to be his kryptonite.
