Bowerman TC for the win

If you had told me 5 days ago that Kincaid and Thompson would be top 3 and Lopez would win two events I would have ridiculed you without mercy. What the hell just happened?!

Good coaching.

Ummmm, ever heard of Tinman elite?

1. Heat & humidity

2. Nobody with a WCS in-hand willing to go out at WCS pace.

BTC cherry-picked

How do those help Kincaid beat Mead/Hunter or Thompson beat Blankenship/Gregorek?

+1

Schumacher and crew were simply phenomenal this week, and that's without Jager and Hill and Infeld. It's truly remarkable how this group continues to churn out incredible USA performances. Kudos to BTC!

It was impressive, but in their lack of racing, Thompson and Kincaid don't get to go, and Lopez doesn't race 5k for us. If he is better than chelimo he can medal. How dumb. This is the first time I'm upset with Jerry not racing guys. I'm hoping I missed their other races and I'm the dumb one who didn't see them simply miss several chances.

Jager!!!!

Hill!!!

McGorty!!

Fisher!

Salivating at next year with those four studs back in action.

A single race, in a qualifier meet, doesn't determine who is better than whom.

Impressive meet? Yes.

Smart standard chasing? Absolutely not. Embarrassing almost.

3 will be in Doha, actually.

You didn't miss it. They raced like once, and don't have standards. Unfortunate for Lomong that he ran a great 5k win earlier this season, but it was just off of the standard. As awful as it is to say, I'm happy they got rocked like this. Unless you're a marathoner, you should be racing. I imagine they're pissed right now that they placed top 3 and don't get to represent the US.

They didn't get rocked. They rocked others.

NOP did better. Zero NOP men lost to non-NOP athletes. Only Murphy didn't win, and he lost to Brazier.

What about the several other athletes of his that did have the time?
