Myers is 7-for-7 in 2026, and running fans (including LRC's Rojo) are getting excited about his potential, even throwing out the words "world record." Are their expectations realistic, or are they getting carried away?

Yared Nuguse earned his fifth Diamond League victory, Kenny Bednarek ran a world-leading 19.69, and Frederik Ruppert became the first non-African-born man to break 8:00 in the steeplechase. We discuss Nuguse's historic streak, whether Cam Myers is on a world record trajectory, and what to expect when 17-year-old Cooper Lutkenhaus makes his Diamond League debut against Emmanuel Wanyonyi and Marco Arop.

The Australian teen smashed his 800m PB by more than three seconds, remained undefeated in 2026, and now owns a faster 800 PB than Cole Hocker, Josh Kerr, Yared Nuguse, and Niels Laros.

Gout Gout goes sub-20, Cameron Myers joins Timothy Cheruiyot in the history books, Claudia Hollingsworth gets DQd and un-DQd and we wonder why the closing splits were so fast at the Paris Marathon. Plus Jackson Spencer impresses. It's a massive Week That Was.

Cam Myers put on a sick display becoming the 2nd man ever to go sub 3:30 in a race and lead gun to tape. Meanwhile Claudia Hollingsworth had one of the fastest last laps ever in a 1500m but was DQd for taking out Jess Hull.

In this week's weekly recap, we compare teen phenom Sam Ruthe to past teen phenoms like Alan Webb, Jakob Ingebrigtsen, Niels Laros, and Cam Myers.

Olympic 1500m champ Cole Hocker earned the biggest non-championship win of his career in a stacked 2-mile while teenage sensation Cam Myers showed while he might be a future Olympic champ in winning the men's Wanamaker mile. The women's Wanamaker mile was won for the 1st time by Nikki Hiltz. Collegiate records went to Colin Sahlman and Doris Lemngole while highschooler Cooper Lutkenhaus continued to roll in the men's 600 where he set an U20 world record at an exciting 2026 Millrose Games.

It's official. Simeon Birnbaum is a Duck as he race for UO for the first time and while the men of Oregon have had a rough start under Jerry Schumacher's tenure but Rojo wonders if they could actually podium at NCAAs in the near future. Gary "Laz" Cantrell once said women "are simply not tough enough" to finish the Barkleys Marathons but that quote didn't age well. Plus Cam Myers continues to rock down under and two Texas teams led by LSU signees broke the HS 4 x 100 record.

There was a ton of great action last week outside of the US champs and we break it down for you. Plus is Oregon's future actually bright?
