2017 Heusden Results - Quigley runs huge 1500 pb, Efraimson just misses. Infeld 14:56/True 13:10 and much more!

Couple things about the men's 5k.

1) As I said in my tweet, NCAA XC is gonna be a lot of fun. After last year, it looked like Justyn Knight would be the guy to beat, but now McDonald has run faster than Knight's PR for 5k. And of course there's Grant Fisher. I wonder if Fisher not racing this summer will give him an advantage in XC. Plus Alabama has a crop of new Kenyans including DII champ Vincent Kiprop.

2) I'm guessing Marc Scott will be added to the GB team for Worlds. So far, they've named Farah and Butchart. The standard is 13:22.60. Scott got it tonight in the B heat (13:22.37) while Andy Vernon just missed it (13:22.65). Vernon was 2nd at the Trials (Scott was 4th) but the Farah, Scott and Butchart are the only Brits with the standard and I'm not sure if Vernon would be in position to get an at-large berth.

If that's the case, that's devastating for Vernon, missing a home World Champs by .05 of a second.

Shout-out to Marc Scott for running a big 5k PR. Dude is still in great shape.

Emily was beat by an old college rival, the former FSU star Susan Kuijken

Huge new PR for Krumins (nee Kjuiken): 7 seconds. Impressive when it seemed she was on the downturn in her career. Super nice lady, funny too.

I will do a shout out to Steph Garcia. With all the smack being talked about her, she also PR's and Quigley didn't pass until 50 meters to go. 4:04. Not sure if steeple days are done, but I wish her luck and hope she stays with either the 1500 or 5000 if not.

Quigley 1500M pr now faster then Coburn.

She sure isn't letting her hiccups in the steeple affect her flat races.

I like Emma Coburn, but when she posed nude for ESPN's body issue I lost a little respect for her.

Colleen Quigley is currently my top pick for most beautiful woman in track and field. She also is fast and has a good personality, not a ditz.

Hope she does well in London...

MAGA

There was nothing showing.

Take it elsewhere.

Her twin Rachel Schneider would give her a run;-) for her beauty, personality, and 1500/mile times. And Rachel has the best smile in track and field;-):-)

Shalane Flanagan under 15:00 I think she first broke 15 in 2007.

Respect. After all those marathons!

Flanagan is pretty damn amazing

I will not take it elsewhere. It's a free country last I checked. Although not completely nude, I didn't find the pics very becoming, too lean and manly for a woman in my opinion.

You can disagree, but you likely don't want to MAGA with your quick dismissal of someone's else's different viewpoint.

I'm sure she's devastated.

Looks like at age 36 she's now the oldest US woman ever to break 15. If my math is correct, Marly Runyun ran 14:59 at age 35, and Deena ran 14:52 at age 34. I'm obviously ignoring anything from Regina Jacobs.

Coming back from injury and stepping down from the marathon this is very impressive and promising. Hard to hone back the speed. Plus she's in her mid-30s vs Emily Infield 10 yrs younger.
