What a run for both of them!!!!

Great race.

Hasay does not belong in these races. She's the Anna Kournikova of running.

I want to see some splits. Huddle is the boss and she owns Robury.

make that Rowbury

Except she's not hot.

No, Flanagan has run 14:45ish. A couple times I believe (too lazy to look up atm).

Thanks. I was busy at work and didn't have time to look it up

I wonder if Huddle or Rowbury have legitimate chance of sub 30 for 10k

This is Rowbury's new thing? Running amazing times but not being the best American in each race?

I liked her 2:00-4:00-15:00 thing better.

ditto to Rowbury.

Hasay realized in time she don't belong and quit

A stitch in time saves nine

Major props to Betsy Saina.

No, Noo, Nooooo!When Anna Kournikova arrived on the scene at sixteen, journalists were afraid to write about her because she looked so good, that it might be taken in the wrong way.This Bill Simmons column puts the whole AK phenomenon in perspective:http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/070202

Is this the first time two American women have broken 14:50 in the same race?

Hasay owns up to a very poor race. Nice to see.

Jordan Hasay @JordanHasay · 13m

Disappointing effort but honored to see the world's best. Heading back to US for some good training and lessons to learn- will be back!

I'm glad she at least commented about the strength of the competition. Despite the commentators saying 14:28 is a disappointing time for Dibaba, I still thought it was a bangin' time.

Does Roxbury now have a faster pr than flanagan

I wouldn't mind a night at the Roxbury.

Why? She stayed in Europe most of last summer and raced. There are many races she could run and better training. I thought she had a list of races planned.

Good for her yet sad her time is about 14 seconds slower than just the WL time for this year. Truly sad.

When will the USA have a woman run a world class 5000! Zola Budd ran in the 14:40s almost 30 years ago, as a teenager. It is certainly one of the weaker events in this country.

There is no way Hasay should have been in this race. It is not good for her development.

Shannon Rowbury with an enormous PR, 12 second pr for 14:48.68. Major props to her!!

Yep, I thought her PR was 15:00! Hasey was def in the wrong field on this one. She needs a 15:20 pace race

Molly is the sexi'est woman Ive ever seen, just her personality and her mentality is perfect. Shannon Rowbury, just keeps geting bent over. And why did Jordan Hasay DNF??? Did she have another mental breakdown???

Congrats to Huddle but I disagree with "her mentality is perfect". In her post-race interview, she was asked why she was looking back near the finish, and she responded she was checking for Rowbury. Seems pretty obvious to me, Huddle could have run faster. If you're grinding out the last 200, you really can't be looking back.
