The kid is legend. He is the new Pre. And only 21 years of age.

He ran 7:59.33 indoors 3 years ago in high school, so not quite buddy
Dude... he's 21.. Come now.. Letsrunners are never impressed.
3 of those top 5 are naturalized Americans. Only one of those have broken 7:30. So, you're saying you're only interested in a 21yo potential great if he's at least the top 2 of all time?
7:37....... That Chapa fella was 21.......
According to Daniels calculator 7:39 is equivalent to 13:20 5K. According to McMillan calculator it is equivalent to 13:26. So not much different than what he ran a few weeks ago.

remember the picture on Track and Field News? - back then Rudy was as big or bigger deal than AlSal. Chapa was a couple months younger than Hunter is now.
nevertheless, good run for Hunter and he deserves kudos for that!
It's 13:08.
According to who? It is 13:20s according to the calculators.

He beat Butchart and True who both broke 13:10 last week
Henrik Ingebrigtsen 7:36.

And they are more 5k/10k runners. He also lost to Henrik Ingebrigtsen who has a 13:16 PR.
According to Tinman’s own calculator, the 13:08 is pretty close.

Yes, and they were probably running on tired legs from the sub 13:10 last week. Drew came in fresh. Drew can't peak with these guys.
Excellent run, and an 11(?) second PR to boot. Competed well, finished close to a lot of studs like Stewy McSweyn and ahead of BT. Top American honors are always notable. Hopefully this carries into the rest of the season.
This means that, unless he's injured, he should be favored to make the team for Doha. Let's see if that June fitness translates to effective racing in August.
7:39 doesn't get anyone 'MF' status. He isn't legend. John Legend isn't even legend. He isn't the new Pre. Pre is the new Pre.

Favored to make the team for Doha?
Really?
Yes, Hunter beat True today but True may be better at 5000 as he's run 13:09 vs Hunter's 13:21.
He's not beating Chelimo. If Ryan Hill is on his game, I doubt he's beating him. Thankfully for Hunter, every single guy in Schumacher's group appears to be injured.
Kirubel Erassa destroyed Hunter at Stanford and he's in the same training group. Then there is Mead who is not bad. Mead has a 13:02 pb and has run 13:23. Jenkins was just behind him at Stanford and has a better pb.
What about Lawi? Lawi ran 13:25 all alone and has a 13:00 pb.
And Grant Fisher is no chump.
So certainly the argument could be made that he's the #2 choice. MAYBE you can argue that I'd say that Chelimo has a 100% chance of making the team barring a fall and then everyone else is less than 50%.
McMillian and other calculators are great tools but real life running is not a formula. If anyone is exceptional to the calculators, it’s the pros.
Can we take a moment to appreciate that Lagat and Kennedy are only born 4 years apart but their times were ran 12 years apart.
