That was the first final I looked at today, and my initial thought was, "wow, there's some good racing going on!" Impressive depth and quality of performances. That seemed to be the case in many of the events.

Is this meet going to be on ESPN ? I know that they won't show the entire thing but I would be happy just to see some of the race.

Five people under 27. Impressive depth, indeed. I do hope at least the last 1000m is on the tube tonight.

Not only were the top five under 27 minutes but the top seven were all at least 13 seconds faster than the fastest time in the world this year! Although I will admit that 27:19 is a pretty week world best.

Kipketer is on the Fighting Warthogs.

But not in the 10K.

Excellent race though.

I figured Micah would pick up on that... You would've had close to 900 points for the meet if he had performed like that in a 5k today instead of the 10...
