If 3:39 is weak, how about 3:50 in the last Olympic final?
3:50 in a field with an average PB of 3:30.
I'm talking about who they send, not what they do when they get there.
Probably runs for Mexico because of Trump.
Yes I hvae heard that he is a big Trump supporter which is why he is using his fame in Mexico to change the culture. Mist Mexicans love Trump and the USA so muchbthat they break the law and risk their lives to get here. Carlos is encouraging them to come to the USA legally.
This old news, can we move on!!

They send a 3:36 SB athlete. Best american time this season is 3:35.14 by William Wynne. 2nd American ranked is Brannon Kidder (3:35.27) 3rd and 4th are training for Doha (Blankenship and Engels) and 5th is Gregorek. In any case, USATF screwed the 2nd spot for Lima, sending a 400m hurdler instead of Kidder, Wynne, Yorks, etc.

is there some unwritten agreement that no country sends its best runners to the Pan Am games?
Pan Ams has lost its luster over the years. It's all about the money.
I will always remember his pre classic mile from high school. Look at how far back he is with 250m to go.
Sorry if this link doesn't embed. It's 2019 and I still lack the ability to do that. So if it doesn't work, maybe someone else of average intelligence can do it.

"Villarreal comes from yesterday!" great one by Crammie.
Carlos just does this again and again...
Is Mikey Brannigan update?
If you don't send your best, is not only disrespectful, it is a shame and a LOSS for the country who misses this great opportunity. Most in the Americas do BTW. The price you may ask ? .....cant call yourself a WORLD leader, you simply CANT. The world has many stages and is not all the glory of the Olympics. Very happy to see some real talent in Brazilian swimmers Mexican runners, Peruvian surfers, Argentinian basket-ballers, Cuban boxers, etc, etc, etc,
Thank YOU! for sharing this beauty!
Runs for Mexico because HE is MEXICAN
HAHAHA, you are very funny. Villarreal and all Mexicans, as the rest of the world and 70% of the US HATE Trump almost as much (perhaps not quite) as Trump hates them. You reap what you sow.....unfortunately. Better we stick to Sports don't you think. But Villarreal is more Mexican than GUACAMOLE
Marco Arop won the men’s 800 at Pan Ams and he didn’t even advance out of NCAA East Prelims.

...in 1:44.25 and Hoppel, the NCAA champion, came fourth.
It has been mentioned a few times that Villarreal was 4th at PAC-12s but he also ran the 800. Not an easy double. He’s not a great XC runner and runs lower mileage so doing two prelims and two finals likely impacted the results. If he ran just the 1500 at PAC-12s he would have won.
Is there a rule against attaching a helium balloon to yourself while running a road race?
Am I living in the twilight zone? The Boston Marathon weather was terrible!
How rare is it to run a sub 5 minute mile AND bench press 225?
Move over Mark Coogan, Rojo and John Kellogg share their 3 favorite mile workouts
Mark Coogan says that if you could only do 3 workouts as a 1500m runner you should do these
Red Bull (who sponsors Mondo) calls Mondo the pole vaulting Usain Bolt. Is that a fair comparison?
