    Why can't U.S. guys run sub 3:30 regularly?

    Because no one does it regularly, and only one country does it with some semblance of frequency.

    One country as in Kenya? Morocco is very close, they have 40 and 34 sub-3:30 performances, respectively. All other countries together only 25, crazy to think how dominant those two have been at this event.

    One country as in Kenya. Morocco never does it these days, and something like 30 of those 34 performances are one guy.

    Murphy is so consistent. He can run 1:44 and 3:36/3:52-4 all day. This bodes well for the rounds. He also seems to handle traveling across the world really well.

    Positive spin for a 5th place finish

    re: "He can run 1:44 and 3:36/3:52-4 all day"

    Go back and look at the WC and Olympic finals, consistent 1:44 and 3:36 are the athletes who make the finals. Making finals favours athletes who are consistent versus one-off winners.

    Oh, yeah, the US could have a blazing 4x100 line-up.
