Expected better performance from Drew Hunter. A podium finish for Allie, but not top-tier competition.
Why would you expect that? He’s had a couple impressive races when peaking this year but with proximity to USAs he wouldn’t be peaking here. Same for Ostrander. Meanwhile most if not all of the “nobodies” here aren’t running at USAs and so are probably targeting this race for a peak. Neither Hunter nor Ostrander are good enough to just show up to any old US road championship and go wire to wire FTW.
This. It’s also funny that most of these “nobodies” would absolutely body every single poster here and is likely a well respected member of their local running community.

Ostrander isn't running usatf track this year, which btw is a terrible decision. These are her peak races until Fall.
