Top 4 ladies in 5000 (tho Doris also in 3000), no mention of Hartman/Gapes/McCabe last minute entry???
Gapes amazingly broke into the top 10 at Natty’s. All three of them were understandably knackered after that race. Maybe they are done fo a while. j/k
And before anybody says it ...
Could be a good meet wrote:

This should be the first post pinned on the forum for the next 4 months
There will also be a new meet at the New Balance track on the same day for those unable to make the cut. BU will be cutting the men’s 5k from twelve heats to nine this year.

😮 Link? Please share any further info. I wonder whether @graham_voted_for_pedro was asked by his NIL sponsor to consider running at that meet instead of BU? 🤔

W 5000 loaded with all but McCabe and May from the top 10 in Wisconsin plus a number of others including the now pro Venters. McCabe and May in the 3000 with Aaylidiz and a few BYU runners.

Tuohy's 8:35/3k college indoor record looks safe for now.
Slight possibility Valby's 14:52/5k college indoor record could go presuming one or more of the collegians attempts the 14:50 Tokyo WC Q.
However, with Wolfe in the 3k (also entered in the 5k), Bosley's 7:36.42 indoor CR is vulnerable.
As is Nico's 12:57.14/5k indoor CR, given Blanks wants to get his 13:01 Q for Tokyo and this almost certainly will be his last college race.
Note that Habtom Samuel is entered as well.
I spy a couple Olympians in the women's Mile. This isn't the meet for historically fast miles, so presuming Tuohy's 4:24.26/Mile indoor CR is safe . . . but maybe not.
Declared entries a couple days from now.

Well, 6 of those 50 are entered. As is Pam Kosgei.
Valby ran, what, 14:56 at this meet last year?
Seems probable we'll see someone or two under 15:00 again;

Not according to LAACTIC.

If the pace is right I would not bet against Doris going sub 15. She dropped Pamela and Hilda quite impressively in the last 400.

Sorry, LAACTIC is with regard to the collegiates. What pros are entered that you think will go sub 15?

That is one key; who is the pacer?
This LACCTIC ranking doesn't make sense to me.
Looking into how the "scores" were determined, it isn't consistent how the various races are weighed. For example, Graham Blanks has only 2 performances that make up his score: his Pre-Nats (6.2 weight) and NCAA XC finals (8.1 weight). Habtom Samuel has 3 performances contributing towards his score, but it doesn't include the NCAA XC final as any of them, even though the XC final had the greatest "weight" (it includes Pre-Nats [6.2 weight], his conference final [4.9 weight], and an outdoor 5,000m track result [5 weight]). Meanwhile, Brian Masau's score is based on the NCAA XC final, his conference final (5.6 weight), and the same outdoor track 5000m as Samuel.
But hey, I guess that's why we run the race.
