Killer coverage of the XC champs! That Rocky Hansen move was ballsy as hell—leading sub-27 10k guys for nine kilometers straight after an entire NCAA season shows the kind of recklessness that seperates good from great. The fact that he and Hartman gambled on wrecking themselves one more time instead of playing it safe for indoor quals says alot about hunger versus caution. Makes ya wonder if we're undervalueing raw guts in the pro transition phase.
Would love a deep dive into Cheserek’s allegiance woes. This has been a story for nearly a decade, I remember talks before the 2016 trials of him trying to expedite the process. I’m sure it’s messy and maybe not super interesting but I’d love to know what’s actually going on.
Just before the pandemic, Cheserek had planned to forego the process and start competing for Kenya at the World Indoor Championships that were going to happen in 2020. Then everything got postponed but he had already expressed that. Pretty unfortunate that he never got to showcase his track speed at the World stage.

Thanks for the shoutout! Tiny correction, 2028 will by my 6th Olympic Trials (‘08 was my first time qualifying in the 800m). ☺️
