Duncan is now #9. Only one American ahead of him....3 Kenyans, 2 Moroccans, 1 Ethiopian, and 1 Italian. I'm guessing they are all professionals...as their times all came on Saturday.
So using last years times, Duncan would have ranked 18th in the world, 2nd among Americans. Rather phenomenal.WolfPtCat wrote: ↑Tue May 30, 2023 2:02 pm#1 in the world is truly phenomenal.

Thanks for the race times! If my TV schedule is correct both the semis and final will be run during ESPN2's live coverage.WolfPtCat wrote: ↑Tue Jun 06, 2023 11:47 amNCAA's own website is predicting Duncan to win Steeple this weekend:

Looks like the heat was an issue for them
Yeah, definitely not ideal conditions for guys used to running in Montana. I thought Duncan might have been struggling a bit as well, but then he easily passed the UW guy down the stretch to win his heat. It's tough to tell how hard they're really trying though once they know they're in the Top 5 and qualified for the Final.Montanabob wrote: ↑Wed Jun 07, 2023 6:32 pmLooks like the heat was an issue for them

Times were off about 20 seconds from the pace. But they weren't pushing it.MSU01 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 07, 2023 7:35 pmYeah, definitely not ideal conditions for guys used to running in Montana.

I assume this is a great thing and congrats to Duncan. That said I have no clue or knowledge of professional track and what this truly means. Regardless, always great to see former Bobcats able to continue their careers like this.
