Molly Seidel jogs a 15:19 at ACCs

Molly seems to be better as the distance gets longer. I wonder if she has a chance of competing for a spot on the 10k team at the trials...

Gotta think Seidel has a legit shot at the Olympic 10k team. Behind Huddle and Infeld there will be a solid battle for that third spot. Sisson will be up there. Seidel has run close to Sission in the 5k. Seidel has to be capable of sub 32:00 in the 10k right now. I'd guess closer to 31:30 given that she gets better as the distance goes up.

Agreed

So top 4 an NCAAs will be Molly Seidel, Allie Ostrander, Erin Finn, and Anna Rohrer. But what order?

I'm picking:

1) Molly

2) Allie

3) Anna

4) Erin

Is Stanford's Cuffe not running?

also worth noting that Rohrer's time is a junior US record

I'd really like to see her try and make the team. That'd be so exciting. Molly Huddle and Emily Enfield have the top 2 spots locked up, but who would be in contention for the 3rd spot?

No one is a lock. Don't forget about KIM CONLEY.

And SHALANE FLANAGAN AND KARA GOUCHER AND AMY HASTINGS

Her 15:19 translates to about a 32:08 10K. Granted, it's indoor and Molly's probably better the longer the distance. I think she can go sub 32 early in the outdoor season.

But the top 10,000 meter times last year were (per

):

Molly's got a lot of work to do to be prepared to run mid-31s in July. I don't see her beating Shalane, Infeld and Huddle...
