Great point. Put Slagowski in now!!!

In my opinion that is as bad an idea as Hunter being in the Bowerman mile. The race has been notably faster recently than it was in 2001 with Webb.

1 Hicham El Guerrouj Morocco 3:49.92

2 Kevin Sullivan Canada 3:51.82

3 Bernard Lagat Kenya 3:53.14

4 Adil Kaouch Morocco 3:53.40

5 Alan Webb USA 3:53.43

6 Hudson de Souza Brazil 3:54.39

7 Graham Hood Canada 3:54.62

8 Bryan Berryhill USA 3:55.01

9 Youssef Baba Morocco 3:55.10

10 Raymond Yator Kenya 3:55.12

11 Martin Keino Kenya 3:56.87

12 Daniel Zegeye Ethiopia 3:57.92

13 Ibrahim Aden Somalia 4:01.27

A first two laps like last year might work, but if it is like 2014 no high school athlete belongs in the field. I'd rather see them all go head to head in a race won in 3:53 with a bunch in the mid-3:50s. I think the National Mile race is the best place for all 3 high schoolers.

All I know is Hunter better run 3:53 flat. He has run basically 3:58 twice give or take a lean. He got beat by a HS kid, and another on his own, in the 800. He ran a big what 1:48 high. OH but he is gonna be an Olympian. Ok all you NCAA guys go home, Hunter is gonna run a 3:53. He better!

How does Galen even make any money running only 5 races a year? What kind of coup with Nike did he pull to make a better than living wage to be a professional practice athlete who sometimes races?

Rupp typically races quite a bit, but let's not let facts get in the way of bashing someone.

Salazar covers most of Rupp's expenses. That is part of how their relationship works.

On another note. Anyone follow Centro on snapchat? He has a crazy sweet tooth. Doesn't seem healthy for him to be eating ice cream and candy everyday. Thoughts?

What is unhealthy about ice cream and candy? Your body runs on sugar.

Can't put too much blame on Rupp, just went for a run on Pre's Trail and am now sneezing and short of breath - the pollen count must be sky high.

As for Centro, there's been talk that David Torrence could be switching to a Central American country (Was it Peru?). Might you be tempted to try the US??

This is happening. Just spoke with a person close to the Peruvian Federation.

You didn't know what Instagram was until now?!Whether that is because you are very old or have just been released from prison doesn't matter. The fact that you've not known what Instagram is discredits any opinion you have of how twenty somethings should behave. Don't you have coworkers or family that keep you up on the basics?You can have any opinion you like but when I see "Dick Puke" from here forward I'm going to remember "took 7 years to learn of Instagram. pay no attention"

I didn't know what Instagram was and searched out Centro's page on the google. It's incredible.
