Emma Coburn just misses her 4:05.10 pb, runs 4:05.24 to win Music City 1500

Hey Rojo, was that the Reuben Reina who ran 4:22 in the mile? The guy is 52. Or is that a relative to the legend?

I was wondering the same thing! He looked younger- could be his son?

What business does a 1500 specialist like Cory McGee have losing to Emma who is pretty much just dabbling at the distance?

How many of you have ever questioned why these NAMEs are written in ALL-CAPITAL-LETTERS. Look at every document you own from your driver "license", birth and marriage certificates, bank accounts etc. You'll find your NAME written in dog-latin, debased text. When was the last time you walked through a cemetery and not seen a tombstone with the name of the man or woman written in ALL-CAPS. It is sad so many athletes and non-athletes alike have no clue why...

That’s actually a PB for Cory McGee and her first time under 4:06. Would be great to see her have a breakout year.

Interesting. I always thought she had run closer to 4:01 or 4:02 especially since she has made it to a few national teams.

Gotta hand it to McGee for sticking with it all these years. She has been at that painful level just off teams, etc..

on McGee - she's appeared to be ultra focused under Bosshard; her work ethic and this result show that she knew she needed to go all in. It's nice to see it paying off.

My only complaint - Emma's parents' place and those breakfasts could be traded out for a high altitude wind whipped shack and gruhl - that's going all in.

This Reuben Reina is a high schooler from Arkansas. Good chance he could be Reuben Reina Jr.

what the literal fvck are you babbling about

Emma Coburn was a national champion miler in college. She's no slouch. People forget steeplers can run flat races too.

If there was a instagram competition for rich track girls they'd win it.

..you obviously wouldn't understand the "babble" if i tried

When world champions dabble in other distances, they tend to win those too.

Congrats to the three bossladies who got their world qualifiers. Great picture of the group on @emmajcoburn 's twitter account.

Look for the steeple AR to return to Coburn this summer.

lol +1. Their insta posts/stories are ridiculous. Such a comfy lifestyle. Working though.

and yeah, she was NCAA indoor mile champion, and is a world champion. I would hope she has wheels in a different distance than her normal.

I thought it was a general rule of thumb that if you are good at the steeplechase you're going to be decent at the 1500 as well?

That race was crazy and the men's 800m also had 4 WC standards hit.
