UW Husky Classic (2/9-10)For

Sorry to "bump" my own question, but with the meet tomorrow is there any clarity on these invitational races listed on the meet schedule?

Can only attend the meet for a short period of time and it's not clear if certain runners are just going to be placed in these invitational heats at the end of the meet.

Thanks to anyone with clarity.

Have you checked the meet website?

Note: Drew Bosley holds the CR of 7:36.42 from last year . . .

Luis Grijalva paced the race up to two laps to go. Heras took the lead on the last lap and held it going into the stretch. Robinson had another gear.

Lex 13:49.

Ouch

And another indoor pr for the Young brothers . . . Lex now at 13:49.37 . . . Leo ran 13:49.71 at the BU Opener in December . . . neither will make top-16 for NCAAs next month . . . however, given consistent training, likely both will be under Lex's 13:34.96 HSR from last year . . .

BYU W continue on a roll with 4 sub 9:00 in 3000

Happy to see Luis back in action.

Now, Ky is back to where he was back in December when he ran his 13:06 . . . likely even a little bit ahead . . . and his kick is back . . . as rojo and others had speculated, Ky needs to be in this kind of shape as he gets ready for the Aussie 5k champs in April . . . and is now the likely favorite for both the 5k & 3k next month at NCAAs . . .

Looks like a bu heat. That will shake up the top 16.

PR in the 3000 for Riley Chamberlain. 9 seconds faster than in December.

In high school she was a pretty good, but not amazing, runner, with a 10:14 PR in the 3200. She has improved so much since she started college. Very impressive.

Relax, that's a lot faster than Lex ran last winter. He'll be fine.

Here is that final gear in action:

Great run, great finish. But Las Heras went too early and ran out of gas a little, it looks like, as much as Robinson finding another gear.
