Back to BU we go . . .

4:27.76 for Markezich

3:52.07 Ciattei

M 1000 scheduled to start in another 1:20 from now, no?

*M 3000

Aw I see I guess the timing website is just bad lol

2:41 for Engelhart

No Blanks in the 3000....

Apparently the commentator still doesn't realize that. Keeps referring to Ben Rosa as Graham Blanks. They just don't look that much alike.

Impressive.

It's a flat track but 352 meters (read that somewhere). Does it get a flat track time conversion still since it is also oversized?

Another thread on this subject suggests that Graham didn't get to the starting line in time!! . . . more to come soon . . .

But Maia Ramsden did run . . . 4:30.01 right out of the shoot . . . ton of college women now between 4:27 - 4:31 . . . Tuohy's 4:24.26 may only last a year . . .

Better be paying attention to Rachel (Schneider) Smith . . . former 5k Olympian . . . 4:28/8:53 double for her today . . . appears to be back in contention for a spot on the Paris 5k team.

I think it is 352 yards - 5 laps to a mile

What the hell is wrong with that starter?! Did anybody get hurt?

And again. I suppose little comment is needed at this point. Markezich has been quietly rolling for nearly two yrs now. I imagine we will continue to savour her performance every time she steps to the line.

Regan Yee's 3000m win took me by surprise. Incredible progression the past two yrs: 8:58 in 2022, 8:48 at BU last year and a very not-JV 8:38 today--all following a seven-year (2017--2022) plateau in the 8:57--9:07 range. Post-race last week, Wayment mentioned something along the lines of If you want to do different things, you have to do different things in regard to her recent progress. Maybe Yee has finally followed suit.

no
