The end of that Sound Running men's 5,000 is what dreams are made of.
Lalo Herrera ran a Mexican national record and you could tell at the finish that he'd captured a dream.
Took a moment after the finish to soak it in.

Once again, the relevant fact here is that the Secretary of Conmerce is lying to the American public.
There is no evidence that countries and businesses will “primarily eat the tariff.”

Grant Fisher locks up his second @grandslamtrack long distance title with a win in the 5000m to back up his second-place finish in the 3000m, this time choosing to press from a mile out and leaving the competition in his dust.

Heard from a Boston pop-up that they were short on product due to tariffs.
The gear got to American but customs wouldn’t release it cause they didn’t know what the tariff was. Total chaos.
Great work White House.
