Official Jordan Hasay chase thread

it's a very long tedious race that takes a lot out of you during it. Maybe she just ran all out and had nothing left at the end. I mean she did pr by 20 seconds

Am I the only one who feels like AlSal put Hasay over Erdman in this situation? Racing them together would have increased the chances of both women getting the 'a' in my estimation. If I were Erdman, I'd feel like a second class citizen, categorized as such by my own coach.

So is there an official time, tenths and hundredths?

You can go with my prediction - 31:46 - but I don't predict in tenths of seconds - mabye I should.

It was a given that some dweeb would come on here and predict 31:46, since that's one second off the "A" standard. Had you said 31:53 and Hasay then ran 31:53, that would have been worth something (thought not a hell of a lot). But you're just the dweeb who that it would be cool to say 31:46. Zero class to post about the "accomplishment" a bunch of times.

Go Jordan....it's been a long road

....if you can't hang with hangers get out of the closet!

sorry I missed the race

Erdmann apparently has some minor achilles issue right now. I see your point, but if you look at it as a chance to let Erdmann have a few more days of recovery and hopefully the chance to have to run 20 seconds slower, it doesn't come off as a second class citizen to me.

Any one else think Erdman will be the next Yoder-Begley to Hasay's Goucher?

What is an Erdmann? I have heard of a man , a woman, a human and even while watching the NBA finals a bird man. But an Erdmann? That must be second class citizen! Seriously no one cares about Tara.

If she had a kick then she didn't run all out

I was left wondering was what might have happened if Ahrlin Bauman had gone WITH Hasay over the final 400m.

I was wondering that too and thought he should have at least kept running behind her or just off her shoulder until the home stretch of the race.

This may be off topic, but I have a question about the A and B standard qualifiers going to the World Championships. I have a friend who claims that they don't get the same benefits as far as travel expenses. She says that the A qualifiers get all expenses paid while the B qualifiers have to pay for some of those expenses. Is this true?

Yes it is true.

Good one, J.R. !!

It seemed to me, that with her surge with 400 to go she was right on what she needed to be. A 69 second final quarter seemed within her, however, right around 200, she seemed to just maintain rather then attack. It would seem that she might have thought she had the standard easily, as even the announcer stated that. With 100 to go, there was no charge towards the finish line, but a maintaining of her current turnover. Having said that, the pace may have seemed slightly all over the place, but when they were hitting 76-77, Jordan maintained contact, but anything slightly faster she started dropping back. The pacers were told to slow and let her catch back up, hence several 77s towards the end when she was starting to hurt. Maybe she could have got a second or two with ahrlin with her on the last lap, but when she made her move, it was best to let her do the attacking, rather then rig up trying to accellerate with someone pulling away. I think if you can make it to the last lap not having to lead, you should be able to hurt enough to give a go for 60 seconds of pain just my two cents.

Please learn the difference between "then" and "than". Thanks

You must be young. This is what letsrun used to be like all the time before there was streaming of events. You had to go the messageboard to findout about anything.

It was more fun back then in some ways.

When I was coaching at Cornell, I always said it was more fun to not be at a meet (like sometimes we were split up) and to get phone updates on the races. There was time for imagination/intrigue.

Just "young" @ heart....;)

I'll try better than you then.

+1. No reason to criticize the pacers. They did their job and I suspected they were told to slow to make sure to get the B. If they did such a bad job, they wouldn't be called back last night. They did a fantastic job and are incredibly talented and experienced pacers. Kudos to the pacers and to Jordan.
