How many of those 6 beat her at nationals last year in the 10k?

Maybe they weren't all in the 10k...
Molly Huddle could beat her, Shalane Flanagan did beat her, Kara Goucher could beat her, Jenny Simpson could beat her, Desi Davila could beat her, Lisa Uhl could beat her, Amy Hastings could beat her, Abby D'Agostino could beat her, based off that 2535 8k tempo Brenda Martinez could beat her, not sure who else...

Based off an actual race, Martinez did not beat her.

Does Salazar deserve to be in NOP? I could name a half dozen better coaches. How does Nike deserve to be in it, for that matter? Brooks, Saucony, New Balance . . . all better.
Does Puskedra? He must be the biggest workout warrior to keep up with those guys.
I love Jordan Hasay as much as anyone but thought about this same topic earlier today. NOPers shouldnt be taking sixth even if it is an off event. I dont see her getting better unfortunately.
Sorry, but it's not what world champions do.
Hasey will probably have a Sara Bei/Sara Hall type career. Yoi know, show up at nationals, get blown out year after year, stay sponsored for a few years more than most because she married a faster man. For her 5K PR, she ran through 2 miles slightly faster than she ran 2 miles in high school. Anyone who sees her running a 14:45 5K at any point in her career must be delusional. Hasay will never close out races in 62-64 and even if she could, that will never cut it internationally. Ephraimson, Cranny and likely quite a few others will be beating up on Hasey regularly in a couple more years. Even that North Carolina girl who passes out all the time will probably whoop Hasey in a few more years.

Wow, she is like Sara Hall, but more precocious which is why she gets more publicity. And if she pulls a Sara Hall and marries a faster guy, who could it be? Centro? He's single. Any other ideas? And doesn't Jordan Centrowitz just sound weird? and just imagine how talented the kids would be...
Mary Cain could beat Hasay in a 5K. Emma Bates just did. Alana Hadley could probably beat Hasay in a marathon and she's in high school.
Seriously, Hasay has shown little interest in the outside world beyond being a little track prodigy. Only now there are lots of little track prodigies out there who will clog up her future because they will not be daunted by her. It only makes sense she marries someone with a bigger running future than she has. It will ease some of the pressure, keep her name in the public's mind, and provide much more financial security. Given the plateau her career seems to be on, that guy will be someone who gives Hasay a shoulder to cry on. Hasay will reciprocate by asking him to marry her, probably at her old high school track. It will be a solid career more because Hasay will always be everyone's little darling and no one will care about her times. Over time, she will realize being everyone's little darling is a comfortable niche, certainly not as competitive environment as her races.
