I remember the days when she was Kara Gargas-Wheeler...

Does that make Goucher US #2 All-Time?

Miraculous!

Yes. Amy Rudolph ran 31:18 last year at Palo Alto, with Elva Dryer in 31:21, so Amy drops to 3rd all-time.

Lynn Jennings and Katie McGregor are right behind Amy at 4 and 5, and Dryer 6th.

man I came to the same conclusion but had to poke around past USA lists to put together the same all-time list. I think it's bad there isn't an up-to-date all time list around. I know TFN has it (it is in their issues) but they just don't update their website.

The lists at Alltime-athletics.com are sufficiently deep in most events to get at least top-10 AT Americans.

nice!

I agree, I agree something is up and alberto is her coach come on people. Don't brag about this

why is it fishy that an extremely talented HS and college runner gets healthy again and then gets her PR down close to 15flat and then runs over 31min? They are pretty equivalent times.

Yeah, was she on drugs when she won the 3k/5k double at NCAA's? Come on, she has been successful at every level.

wait I think you meant to reply to the same poster I did right? I am agreeing with you.

I just reply to whoever. Sorry.

what is the A standard for women 10k for next year's WC?

since US Nats are in Indy again and likely to be high temps (thus slow), getting an A standard this year may decide who gets to worlds next year.

not really b/c there are two fast 10000m's in CA a 4-6 weeks prior to USATF's to get the qualifier.

Here are the IAAF WC '07 standards:

31:40 is the 'A' standard, and 32:00 is the 'B' standard.

Near as I can tell from

http://www.alltime-athletics.com/

the old top 10 list was:

30:50.32 Deena Kastor

31:18.96 Amy Rudolph

31:19.89 Lynn Jennings

31:21.20 Katie McGregor

31:21.92 Elva Dryer

31:26.66 Jennifer Rhines

31:28.92 Francie Larrieu-Smith

31:30.89 Annette Peters

31:34.37 Kate O'Neill

31:35.25 Blake Russell

thanks, right. i didn't say for sure, but it MAY decide.

according to T&FN these were the best times in 2006 before this race in Finland. i.e it seems that nobody even had the B standard until this race.
