Hastings gets married = runs better.

True stays single = runs better.

Except Ben True got married last year too...

Nice result for NSG.

Do the times reflect the offset in the "first to the line" competition. Guessing that True ran more than 15 seconds faster than Amy Cragg.

Take a look at this:

It's our coverage of the 2007 race where MEb won his 6th straight title over Ryan Hall who recently had run 59:43.

I started laughing when I saw that page. And people think letsrun hasn't improved? We didn't really do much onsite coverage back then of even NCAAs.

Huddle and Smith have told her not to use a married name. It robs you of your strength, dignity, purpose, courage...

Geez, I would have thought Vail was a lock for second in that race, instead ends up getting beat by Donn Cabral of all people.

Also can we please acknowledge that Donn Cabral ran a 15k, and like, did WELL?! So weird....yet awesome.

Agreed. Cabral is having a nice spring (ran well at World's Best 10k, too) and (although a lot can change between now and then--looks to be a solid pick for the 2-spot on the US team in the steeple this summer.

Wow, that's a huge difference by comparison. But loved the old links to stories about Bekele winning 10 straight XC titles, etc. Crazy how much has changed.

How hot and humid was it? Times were horrible if it was anything less than 85 degrees.

Stayed below 70 for everyone under an hour. Humidity was at about 85%.

First, is Amy married to Alistair Cragg? I hope not because her improvements are now questionable if so as Alistair is known by a few circles to use Peds even since his Arkansas days. Hope Amy is with another Cragg and not a suspected juicer

Around 70, but very humid and a bit windy. Probably worth about a minute slower than last year.

nope, it is allistair cragg

Oh no I fear Amy isn't running clean as I had hoped

Except Huling is the clear #2.

What happened to Kipchichir, Joe Stilin and Puskedra. I figured they would have also got in the top 10. Even Chelimo barely made it. And he wouldn't have, if he hadn't made a last second surge to pass Spisak at the line.
