GDS is in 14:35-14:40 shape. I think it's only a matter of how early she goes to how much she is pushed for if she merely breaks this record or destroys it.
On thee men's side, probably a similar dynamic with Ahmed. He might be content running 13:05-13:10 FTW, but if he and Fisher push both could break 13.
Sleeper pick Charlie Siebert from Davidson for the win

He has raced at least 1 1500 every year he's been pro and last year at Stanford. Most recently- Sound Running 1500 2021, 3:36 for 4th behind Centro, Heyward, Scott. Beat Josh Thompson, Vince Ciattei, Will Paulson, Henry Wynne.
Weird take, would be like saying why doesn't Hocker race the 10,000 like a real pro.
I actually didn’t see that he had a good 1500 result that is pretty cool. I just wish he would run a 3k, he ran 7:50 as an U20, and I think he could definitely hang with the likes of Teare and Hocker at that distance, maybe even some higher tier international competition. I don’t think it’s like asking why Hocker doesn’t run the 10k more, I think it’s definitely more common to see 5k/10k guys in the indoor 3k than it is to see milers in the 10k.
What are you talking about? Fisher has run at least 1 3k every year since 2017.

He raced two 3ks outdoor last year + the 2 mile at Pre (he didn’t race to indoors at all). In 2020 he ran 7:39.99 indoors.
It seems like you don’t know what you’re talking about.
Do the math. Men's Mile. 343 x $35.Over $12,000 for one event.
Where is Tewalt?
Already injured?
Fernandez #2? (…or #3. We have not seen Blanks since XC)

Don't know men's pace. Stafford said in LR interview after her 3k last week that the women are going for the North American Record. Tbh based off of Kelati's millrose race, I could see 4 women dipping under Flanagan's 14:47.62 AR - GDS, Cranny, Frerichs, Kelati. So assuming at least 70-71/400.
Agreed! Considering Vanessa Fraser ran 14:48i 2 years ago, and that 14:47 is equivalent to ~8:35 for 3k, I think this record is definitely going down. I only wish Alicia Monson was in the field as well.
I think GDS will win in low 14:40s, but even faster wouldn’t shock me.
Cranny will crush the women’s field.
The men will be ripping it - just hope the heats are sorted so the fast heat doesn’t lap guys.
For North American records to fall everything/everybody will need to work flawlessly and not have some dude in the way of the train.

Makes sense for Fisher to run 5k first, 3 k next and am sure he will get to 3:32 range this summer

Will these 5k times qualify runners for the 3k at USAs a couple weeks later in Spokane? Do outdoor times from last year count for indoor USAs qualifying?
Possible only Vanessa Fraser in the 3k Friday night is actively seeking a nationals then worlds spot.
However, GDS said in her Millrose interview she may do both the 1500 and 3k at worlds, so she looks all in for Serbia.
Very surprised to see Mo Ahmed entered. He hasn't raced indoors since 2017 or so. Thought he was done with indoor track. Maybe he's the rabbit. If not, getting a chance to race against Jakob I & others at Worlds may be too much to pass by.

Connor Mantz is seeded 30th in the 5k. Wtf lmao
No Schweizer. Is she injured?

Yeah this race is going to be awesome. Although, does this mean Mantz is in heat 2? Does Drew Hunter even make the the top heat?
Listened to the Flotrack guys.
They dont get it. The only reason these guys are racing this race is to set records. American, Canadian, British

Maybe, and I hope he’s planning on World Indoors, but I think it’s more likely that taking an Area Record from Rupp is what’s too much to pass up.
I have no idea what kind of shape they’re in but here’s my wild guess: Ahmed opens a gap with ~600m to run and wins in a 12:58.xx Area Record. Fisher proves the best of the rest, running 13:01 but missing Rupp’s American Record (13:01.26) by tenths.

Not now, but was.
Had a minimally invasive (presume Tenex) procedure this past autumn to remove bone spurs from a foot which had caused achilles tendon problems most of last year. Amazing to think she made Tokyo in two events despite that.
Back training with the team but not quite ready to race yet.
thomas ratcliffe not racing?

Fantastic if those marks happen. If so could get 10 or more guys under the 13:13.50 Q standard for Eugene.
Will be looking to see what Marc Scott can do on the tight boards, given that he's running with only one foot with a plantar fascia. Don't see how he manages to walk or jog normal, much less train and race at world class levels, given the other foot has no arch support. Guess it's the shoes.

This is a good point, i'm assuming it will be 16 people in each heat?
He ran the two mile at Pre in 8:11.
