that's a fairly bold prediction, and I'm not saying you're wrong, I think there's a good chance you're right, but it would not surprise me if his biggest US rival in 2020 has not yet run NCAA. if you look back through the history it just seems to happen, every olympic cycle, some new young stud just emerges out of the woods to completely revise expectations. I think this is probably more apparent in the 800m than the 1500m but I think you'll find it has happened a lot and will happen again. and there's still two years to go.

Cheers.

So you’re saying the guy most likely to be US Olympic Trials Champ in the 1500 in 2020 hasn’t even entered the NCAA yet?

That would mean he’s at oldest, a Senior in HS. So in 2020 he would be a sophomore in college.

That has literally never happened. And it will not happen.

“What you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”

Jim Ryun.

Lots runners were young enough to be under 2.5 years out from the Olympics to not be in the conversation. Both Gabe Jennings and Michael Stember made it to the Olympics as college juniors. Alan Webb would have been a college junior too, and after his freshman year at Michigan, probably didn't look like a favorite at the time either.

RuPaul.

This is kind of like the Meb v Hall debate. Do you want the medals/titles or the fast times?

Son, I think it's time you learn that pro athletes don't what you think about what they do with their career.

Looks like you had a typo: Webb at 13:10.86

Also, 27:34 should not be overlooked.

Narsacist much?

Maryland natives like Matt Jr are known for their Bohemian spirit. Otherwise he would have moved to Hollywood to cash-in like all the other super Olympic Gold medalists have done.

If you believe that Matt Centro is gonna stay with NOP, then you also believe that Mexico is going to pay for the wall.

the only shadow he casts is that of a sub 4 high schooler, same goes for Ryun. There is nothing Centro can ever do to eclipse that. As for Lagat and Scott? Once again they did things that are not about winning. 100 sub 4's(who cares) Lagat? his most impressive feat was his B sample.

Again, not a slam against Centro but....Webb has one thing that Centro can never achieve. 3:53.43.

Webb's high school mile= LEGEND

Because of Webb smashing Ryun's AMAZING 3:55 and backing it up with a solo 3:46 he will always be in the US GOAT discussion.

Now Centro has the gold, now he needs to back it up with WORLD CLASS times. 3:30, 3:50, 13:20... we've seen many hit those marks over the years. The Olympic 10k champ has a faster 1500 pr.

Centro Sr has been friends w Alberto for decades. Hard to see Jr throwing under bus

He realized that Washington Lee track and the tow path are where the playas play

Why isn’t he running indoor?

I hope he comes to the state meet for outdoor track

I went on a run with jordan hasay and i talked to her for half an hour 1 on 1. She told me that no matter where she is in the world, she still talks to alberto every day. She said alberto doesnt need to actually watch her do workouts to know what shes doing. Even if shes not in portland, alberto is still her coach. So, while centro is probably leaving, its a possibility that hes not

Wow, that’s weird. What a control freak. Under no circumstances would I want to have daily contact with my coach. That sounds awful.

Centro's great but it's a fact he was pissing and moaning when he found out Murphy was coming in, surprising that wasn't discussed here. People were too busy attacking Rupp and covering their eyes about Aden and all the usual hypocritical goings on apparently. Centro knows Murphy has far greater potential and by 2019 Centro will not be able to handle Murphy in any kind of race at 1500 (never mind the 800 where Murphy will probably take down the AR this year).

Centro has had a fantastic career at the 1500 but he'd better start making the transition to the 5k because he won't be the top dog in the US at the 1500 much longer. Murphy may knock him off this season. Centro has his Oly Gold and WC medals, but it's time to move on. Centro has always been a bit snarky about Murphy, all that ever did was show he could see the kid's potential was far better than his own. Murphy may never win Oly Gold but he's going to run significantly faster over the 1500 than Centro ever will. You can bet on it.

And go run for Sketchers? He is making mint with Nike. Burning Nike bridge is something he won't do. He is used to the good living and not have get on knees to fit hobby joggers' shoes.

Centro Jr, handled several guys with have faster PRs in Rio.
