10 a.m. – men's 5000 meters | final
Who: Eric Jenkins, Cooper Teare
Result: Cooper Teare set a championship pace throughout the month of June, and nearly wrapped up the month with the ultimate finishing kick. Two weeks after breaking the UO record to win the 5,000 meters at the NCAA Outdoor championships, Teare was in position for a spot on Team USA with 150 meters to go at that same distance Sunday before ultimately finishing fourth in 13:28.08. Oregon alum Eric Jenkins was 10th in 13:39.72.
Running within a few meters of the leaders throughout, Teare made a strong move with about 600 to go to stick with a breakaway pack. He was racing for the lead at the bell and in a group of five racing for three spots on the Olympic team with 200 to go. But in a sprint between four runners for those three spots over the final 150, Teare ended up a bittersweet fourth.
"I can't put an emotion on it right now," Teare said. "It hasn't really set in. Thinking of four years ago as a senior in high school that I'd get fourth place in the 5,000 at the Trials, I never would have thought that in a million years. All the stuff I've done in the last month, it's been the time of my life."
Paul Chelimo won in 13:26.82, Grant Fisher was second in 13:27.01 and Woody Kincaid was third in 13:27.13. Kincaid and Fisher went 1-2 in the 10,000 on the opening day of the Trials, and if either opted not to double in Tokyo, Teare could get the call as a replacement in the 5k.
"The Olympic dream is still somewhat alive," Teare said. "With some guys doubling, maybe they'll give me a chance to have my shot the Olympics. But if not, I'm happy with my performance."
