Great race by all of them. Respect to Graham Blanks for making the move when no one else would. Though maybe he was being a bit too gutsy. All the same nice to see him rounding back into shape after his injury. Nico needed at least 1k to put that win in the bag, left it until too late. Congrats to Parker Wolfe! He finally did it!

[@experiencethebestdogsirl8789]

The Colorado guy got it done! Watching this replay made it look like Robinson let Young beat him. The last 20 meters he looked like he just gave up and let it happen

[@Carlosediaz543]

I don’t think graham figured he could be anyone in a 400m sprint so decided to send it early and make it a race. Honestly was really smart

[@ronaldlincoln2935]

Yep...Nico the better runner, but his timing was off this time and it cost him. He will learn.

There is nothing wrong with Nico, he ran an excellent race. Wolfe was always there next to Nico in many other races so it was a matter of time. Besides these two. there are other young American talents on the rise. This is exciting for the USA!

[@Gasperracing]

Tempo 4k and some change and race 800 some strong fellers

[@sportsfansports3353]

Nico should thank Graham Blanks for starting the stretch with 800 to go. If it doesn't happen then, with at least one person willing to make it a race, Nico could have gotten swamped by even more fast finishers and been worse than second.

Shoutout to Graham blanks for his smart tactical racing. He looks like he wasn’t feeling his best and by making that move at 800 to go he copped himself a 5th place instead of leaving everything and everyone in contention till the final 400 where he probably would have gotten lost in the mayhem and not placed higher than like 10th.

This has to be a huge confidence boost for Parker, because he finally beat Nico (a top NAU runner) and it was for a championship. Can’t get any better than that. That last 250m when he started to accelerate. I was rooting for him! I also feel bad for Graham, because he was the one that made the gutsy move, but got dropped. He should still be proud though.

if you're nico young, wouldn't you actually race it like Jakob Ingebritsen? Why leave it to chance by trying to out kick someone? You should go out and race as hard has you can and make people actually work instead of run slow an hope for the best.

[@dylandixon4058]

Jakobs race doesnt always work. Look at the past 2 world championships. I always enjoy his races because its fast, but historically tactical finals are better for winning the race

[@dekjules32]

He's likely just testing out a different strategy/assessing his finishing kick and keeping his eye on the bigger prize of the Olympic trials.

Nico overconfident in his kick. at 13:30 or better no one outkicks him. But make everyone super fresh with a pedestrian pace?

Nico should have “kicked”” with four laps to go. He could have run the last mile in 3:55 and been all alone.

gotta question the coaching and the race plan especial after quitting the 10k, nico should have had a plan to burn everyone out the first two miles and be all alone for the last mile.

@@waxwars9183 🤣🤣 easier said than done. especially considering the heat.

[@jameschaves5723]

This loss is on Mike Smith. You have the strongest athlete in the field and set out at a pedestrian pace. Very poorly executed. Nico should have burned everyone in the 1st 5K and just cruised to the finish.

[@chiefhardy6312]

Parker has been getting stronger over the coming months and is a low-13s level of 5k runner. You all act like Nico could've just run away from the field at a faster pace with ease. Nico has also outkicked this level of field many times before, so he understandably feels like he can do it again. It was a close race. You lot are being dismissive of the competition

[@MichaelAngelNow]

Nico come on! Like Colin, you had the fastest 5000m time into the race....make it a super fast time to leave no room for the kickers at the end! You and Colin should have made a fast race and had higher chance of winning...

[@theoracle3772]

A winning time of nearly 14:00…I hope Young and Sahlman learn from this something they should’ve already known: when you’re the fastest and most talented, allowing a championship race to be run at a slow pace only gives more runners the chance to beat you. I continue to shake my head of the stupidity of “tactical” racing. I think Centrowitz’s gold medal taught the world’s best that lesson, and it’s been a long time since the it’s been allowed to happen on the world stage.

[@isitrachelorj3953]

Typical conference/ncaa TITLE race. Bunch of runners jog around the track for 75% of the race distance, then a few racers try to out-kick each other - must be a lot of pressure from the schools/coaches to be a NCAA champion.

[@angelawilson1828]

I'm a little confused. They said wolf has to wait until the world rankings. I saw only the first two had Olympic rings next to their name so how do they choose third participant?

[@tonydiaz2541]

Nico's best bet for Paris is the 10k if he can't even out kick Wolfe.

[@tomfitz3324]

Except it’s going to be a different story at the Trials or the Olympics as it will be a 12:55 not a 13:55…. If Nico can have a kick anything like this at that pace, will be interesting..

[@crosslink1493]

Slow race evident by how they were still bunched up with only a few laps to go. Nico should have gone a lot earlier and not allow the speed demons to be there in the end.
