Is this Parrish guy for real? Jumping the pit. Peaking on meldonium?

It looks like he's trying to jump like the Kenyans. But it's good to see a Florida runner actually doing well in a distance race

Jager looks like he is jogging!

Here are Jager's steeple openers the last 4 years.

He faded badly and was passed by three guys in the last lap. Go Gators.

Jager gonna toy with this field so good

Kinda seems like tying is hair back like he has for the last little while is knocking his hairline back

google backs it:

3:20 for 1200 they said in the top heat of the steeple.

How is everyone's stream quality? Mine is awful. Very pixelated.

5:08 with 3 laps to go.

Have you seen what UF does to distance runners? I'll take it

JAGER IS NOW FLYING

Now my quality if great. You can adjust it on the lower right.

7:17.97 at the bell for Jage who just took the lead.

57.5 FOR JAGER LAST LAP

Guys I'd just like to reiterate there is a singular "fast heat" for each event. I was involved with the heat design process in 2012 when I worked for Gags. The goal of Oxy is for as many athletes to run standards (be in Olympic or OT) as possible. In order to do this they spread the faster athletes among the heats for a few reasons. The easiest explanation is so there isn't bunching, heats string out better when you have a larger range across the field. With faster athletes in multiple heats they can tow other runners to standards. Also by doing this the focus is essentially more on time trialing than head to head racing which instinctively would involve tactics and slow the races.
