Official 2016 New Balance Fifth Avenue Mile Live Discussion Thread

Won't win but go Alison Leonard! Hope she run a big PR after being snubbed of an Olympic spot by BA.

What is Jenkins doing in this race

Probably running.

Those are some great fields. What kind of appearance $ do you think they get?

I don't think Centro is African American. I think his mother is from the Caribbean or something.

She's from Guyana, (just east of Venezuela) and has some African ancestry. Whether that makes Junior an African American depends on your definition of American American.

Since Centro the younger was born in the USA with one parent of African descent then he is African-American.

Murphy and Centro for top 2. After that it will be interesting. I like Alexander. He is extremely consistent. Never seems to have a bad day and every now and then shocks the hell out of everyone. If he has one of those races like he had at Tracktown a month ago, he could place top 3. Otherwise, Blankenship and Robby are in great shape coming off the Games. O'Hare got 2nd last year although it was a semi-slow year last year.

Winning time will be 3:51 to 3:52. Maybe even 3:50....

This is one of the stupidest posts here all summer. First, you name six athletes but not Manzano. Second, 3:50 lololololol.

USA and Britain only, not one African? Not even an African American by the looks of it.

Really? Even with the nationalities of the runners listed beside them you write that?

Manzano will be way back and well over 4 minutes.

You obviously haven't seen his last 4 race results,.

Let's see who is laughing out loud in about an hour from now.

Spoke to @nyrr and agreed I will put up $25,000 for new record in Men's or Women's #NB5thAveMile and $5k for each M/W under 3:50 or 4:20 🏃🏽💰

Muir is a lot faster than she looks.
