2018 NCAA Track Championships Men’s 5000m

[@andrewtowle9259]

This was an odd race. This might sound strange, but I think the rain may have been playing tricks on these guys a little bit psychologically. The three best runners in the race all seemed a little friendly at the start, and I think their nerves may have been a little too calm, and they had their guard down. I am surprised that Knight wasn't more aggressive trying to move up in the last 4-500m. McGorty is a great finisher and he held it down really well the last two laps, I think he was the one best on his mental game that day. He may have wanted to win the most. Maybe I'm wrong, but I just feel the mood that day was a little weird and it might've affected the way these guys ran.

i know you made this comment a long time ago, but as a runner i feel like what you’re saying is true. it’s already hard mentally when you’re in the championship, but also the weather doesn’t help. i think the biggest problem may have been they didn’t know what tactic to use which led them to panic / get off their game mentally - either way it was definitely mental, because they’re all great physically.

Yo everyone forgot about McGorty running 3:53

[@spencerwencer4237]

Will O'Keefe Exactly! Makes me wonder why he didn't try the 1500m?

mcgorty won this race in the second to last lap

[@SPharaoh]

Slow race compared to what they normally run.

[@heree]

This wasnt 2018... McGorty gratuated in mid- 2017 so this is either 2016, or 2017

[@HarambeeXC]

NicoGames709 he had more eligibility, Joe Burrow graduated from LSU before the championship game but still played

[@heree]

Then how come Mcgorty wasnt in the 2018 mens d1 xc championships?

[@HarambeeXC]

NicoGames709 because xc is after track in 2018. Just google the results... it’s 2018
