    Totally forgot Kejelcha went to NOP. So is Kejelcha to Jenkins as Farah was to Rupp?

    I also think that's probably what's happenning.
    Initially, I thought Cheserek will join NOP and that he and Jenkins would be the new Mo/Rupp type, but they've gone on different paths. So I see Jenkins following Rupp's footsteps and Kejelcha replacing Mo!

    Obviously working on his mile speed, just as Mo and Rupp did. 4:02.7 is not a great start, however. That is just about world record 5000m pace. Of course, you could also say that just as Murphy was going about wr mile pace in an 800, so Kejelcha was going at world record 5000m pace in a mile, and both would have done more as part of a workout.

    2:07 first 400, 3:07 @ the 1200. Most races went out slow.

    Tony Young would have schooled Yomif at the Dempsey. Eric Garner ran 3:58!

    Race video is up.

    40/41 seconds for the last 300m from Yomif. Not bad at all. I suppose he is probably running the 3000m indoors then?
