Where have all our milers gone?

[jeremyp]

The top US milers all bombed this weekend at Pre. Wheating, Manzano, Centrowitz. Do we now wait for Robby to emerge as the new king?

a lot of the us milers competed in the "international mile" race last night which was about 5 secs slower than the borrowman mile.

Where Centrowitz was 8th! Russell Brown will not be in the mix.

Well, they were just smoked by a 10000m guy (Rupp) a few weeks ago. So what else do you expect?

David Torrence looks like the top (American) guy right now. He ran 3:52 at Bowerman, also has the A standard at 800 and 5k.
Jeff See is developing consistency at 3:55, and should be a factor.
If the Trials is tactical, Robby Andrews should take it.

Even Nick Willis didn't show much, as he spent the first 3 laps jogging along in last place?

Embarrassing.

Embarrassing.

I have to agree! I've been hoping all Spring that Allen Webb has been lying in the weeds, and aiming his training towards a peak in August. I'd hoped that we'd see a decent performance from this weekend (not necessarily a first place finish, but one that would meet the A qualifying level).
Not only did he not compete in the Bowerman Mile, but he ran a lackluster time in the B mile.
