Interesting stuff. I’m a stats nut myself and did a bit of research off the T&F News site.
From 2016 thru 2020, a 5 year span, the only runners to run faster than 3:33.65 were Engels (by 1/100 of a sec), and Matthew Centrowitz.
Colby...
#7 ever on U.S. soil
#5 American on U.S. soil
#17th fastest American ever at 1500 meters (any soil !!)
Here is the All-Time U.S. top 20 at 1500 meters…..We have an OHIO representative, folks!!
Colby Alexander finds himself in mighty good company.
