Good result for Engelhardt - 4:08.87. That's about what she was running indoors in February. Much better than the 4:18/4:19 she was running at the end of May.
I just hope she is not planning on running the 5000m in 45 minutes; she is on the start list.
Did anyone else see Olivia Markezich in the mixed 5000? Wasn't she supposed to be in the top section of the women's 5000 later tonight? I don't see her listed in that race anymore. I wonder why Dathan decided to have her work out tonight instead of race.
impressive race by Abdi Nur. still not 100% after that long rehab from injury but that close has gotta make him and his coaches smile.
Is it just me or is Mike Smith really wont to put Nur in any 5000m race where he could conceivably be in over his head? Just seems a bit weird the number of B sections or B level races (when he was fully fit) as opposed to the approach with Nico/Luis.

she's coming off an injury - the all comers 5K was her cooldown run

59 second last lap? Really. You need to close in 3:56 minimum at least to make the team. That’s not gonna make him and the coaches smile.
this is only his second race since the olympics when he got badly hurt. I don't think making the US team in 2 weeks is the goal - it's just to get him back to his old self, and with this result it looks like things are going in the right direction.
