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?
