I hate to say it, but we get this kind of 'tease' result from him almost every year at this point. There was one year where he ran a similar 5k on the track, then nothing. Another where he ran a decent 1500 in (I think) Belgium, and then nothing.
I hope for nothing but the best, but have stopped believing.
Pearson's best track 5k 13:36.22 in the spring season of 2015 and he never ran any 1500 in Belgium.

I hate to say it, but we get that you have no conception of Morgan Pearson's track record. There was one year (2012) where he ran for duke and ran 14:03. Good but not great. He transferred to colorado and improved the next year to 13:49 indoors and finished tenth at nationals. At the subsequent outdoor season, he ran 30 flat at altitude, followed by a 13:38 5k at payton jordan. He doubled at Pac-12s and finished 7th in the 10K.
In 2015, Morgan came back indoors and ran 13:43 and 7:51. At nationals, he finished 5th in the 3000m. An improvement on his tenth place from 2014. BTW that 7:51? good for fourth on the CU list.
Outdoors, he ran a PB in the 5000m 13:36. and then went on to finish 3rd in the 10000m then come back and finish 3rd in the 5000. Behind who? Behind Cheserek and Jenkins. Ahead of who? Pierce Murphy, Will Geohegan, Jake Leingang and Ammar Moussa to name a few guys.. Maybe you've heard of them? Not making excuses for Morgan here but that season likely would've ended in an AA had he not run 4 x 5000, 1 x 10000, 1 x 800, 1 x 1500. How many PR races does a guy have in him during 1 year?
In the fall of 2015, he came back to finish second at the rocky mtn shoot out, 15th at prenats, 14th at Pac-12s, 8th at regionals and perhaps in his worst performance of the season 25th at nationals. A quiet indoor season was capped with a 5th place finish in the 5000 and a sort of underwhelming outdoor season. Although that "underwhelming outdoor season" did see him finish second in the PAC12 5000m.
Now, as a professional he runs a road 5K PR and finishes third at XC nationals behind a 13:04 5000m guy and a 8:18 steeple guy.
Are you so sure Morgan Pearson is a flash in the pan runner? or have you just not had your eyes peeled while he quietly chipped away?
Go Morgan!

Excellent post. The poster you're quoting was talking about Fernandez. Great run for Pearson. Carry on.

You've raised a fine son, Mrs. Pearson.
Lmaoooo
I'm just a hater on the internet with time to kill (as is everyone else on this website)
Ran pretty well at club cross
His dad is a billionaire.
"Morgan Caldwell Pearson" - as he introduced himself in an angry phone message to a friend of mine who was getting familiar with his ex-girlfriend - can afford to train without getting a real job for as long as he pleases.
Extremely privileged son of a gun.

I don't even know "The Athletic Department", but from what I hear about Pearson, it wouldn't surprise me at all if that was true.
Nope its true his dad was worth $1 billion at one point but is now only worth $175million.
His colorado bio says "Morgan Cadwell Pearson was born on Sept. 22, 1993. He is the son of Mike and Christine Pearson and has three brothers, Andrew, Parker and Trevor. His grandfather played lacrosse at Syracuse. Pearson has dual citizenship with Canada. He was a swimmer in high school and also enjoys surfing and playing basketball."
I'm from the town next to New Vernon (Morgan's hometown) and it is extremely wealthy. My local sneaker store owner said that Morgan flew out to Boulder on a private jet multiple times.
