Drew said he was ready for the international mile at Eugene in an interview today, and it is my understanding that Jakob will be running in the same field.
Although a few years age difference, this will be a battle between two of the future giants of middle distance running in the western hemisphere.
I expect a fairly fast race and new PRs sub 3:55 for both of them. But who is going to win this man-to-man euhhh man-to-boy battle?
this aged poorly
This is why the Hunter worship was always so strange to me. This guy (and many others a few years ago) were saying that Hunter would be one of the "future giants of middle distance running in the western hemisphere". Based on what? He was a 21 year old with a 3:57 mile PR at the time. How many guys have run faster than that in the NCAA this year? Like 25?
