Women's Olympic Trials live thread

Magdalena was 5th in 2004 and has a PR at 2:30:50. She just ran a PR at 10,000. I'm sure they are taking her seriously. She is probably capable of sub 2:30 right now.

I count a chase pack of 12 about 70 sec back. Looks like the top people are there.

Deena, Akor, Dryer, Akbar, O'Neil, Russell, saw a glimpse of Ficker, Gomez, and 5 others.

Thanks for the update, clearly the annoucers have no idea who she is. The only reference to date on her is her 2:43 qualifying time.

That gives her effort much more context. Deena's gonna have to start chipping away at this thing pretty soon if she wants the win.

1:22 second lead at the 50 minute mark.

three hansons in the top 14

How long is that bridge?

51:28 for 9 miles for leader. She's got 85 seconds on chase pack.

Ann Alaynak still hanging in there. She's a long shot but if she made it she'd be Northwest Ohio's first Olympic participant since 1928.

Boulet is pulling a Jenny Spangler.

Thanks for the miles split updates, coach Gartland! Lewy Boulet 57:10 @ 10 miles, with a 91 second advantage. Deena taking lead of chase pack.

Deena has now moved to the front of the chase pack. There are at least two Hanson's in that pack.
