BB is the Iron Miler of 2016. He seemed to race every week, and never had a bad race.
-
and Lipari is starting to make some noise this year for the 1st time since leaving Villanova
-
Excellent performance by Nike's Mac Fleet. 4:32 for the mile. This would win many high school dual meets.
Hopefully he makes a drone video about this race. -
Jack Bolas? Haven't seen his name in a while.
-
Lipari is looking like a really good road miler versus a track runner. I feel like she's bombed almost every track race she's run, yet ran 4:27 on the roads this year.

Lol put Fleet in the race with Kampf and I bet she would have outkicked him in the last 100 meters. Mac Fleet's running slower than his HS 3200 pace right now. -
What's been going on with Fleet? He's been running terribly since leaving Oregon as a back-to-back 1500m national champion. When will he realize it's time to leave OTC? When it's too late and his contract is cut? Surely he's been reduced a ton by Nike. I can see him getting dropped at the end of 2016.

Ummm, Ever hear of Elijah Greer?
