Don't get why the announcers didn't give a split at mile 1. Looked a shade under 5:20. Maybe 5:18ish. On 33-flat or just a touch under pace. Bates out front pushing. What shoes is she wearing? All black, looked dyed. Maybe Vaporfly's even though she's an Asics athlete? Or maybe a prototype Asics?
Looks like Hasay got dropped a little before 5k.
Bates, Bruce, Kipyego, Tuliamuk, Hall, gapping the others. Maybe a little surprising that some others aren't in there.

NYMini is tomorrow and LRC will be on site.
We'll make this the official thread.
$20,000 for first and $75,000 in total prize money. It's the first time the mini has been the USATF champs.
Got a guide of the entrants below with their most recent results below.
Aliphine Tuliamuk who won the road title in 2017 is probably in the best form of people with success at 10k, but her teammate Stephanie Bruce won the US half and set a 5k pr (before not running that well at Bolder Boulder)is in good form.
Sally Kipyego is the most credentialed, but has not returned to top form since giving birth.
Carrie Dimoff has the best track time of the year. Rachel Schneider is the best at 5k, but hasn't raced a 10k.
Diane Nukuri is running her first US champ and Jordan Hasay returns to action after Boston.
So there arequestion marks on a lot of the runners with no clear favorite.
Who you got?

That’s actually a pretty good preview, and I should know. First three: Emma bates, Jess Tonn, and Sara Hall.
16:10 @ 5k. Laura Thweatt also in the lead pack of 6, Schneider is running with another woman 10-20m back in 7th & 8th. Pace definitely picked up. Hasay was way back.
21:00 @ 4 miles ~ 32:30 pace.
Bates was leading at 5k, got dropped shortly after, and now is back. Kipyego looks good, is gonna be tough to beat. Bruce and Thweatt look relaxed outta the others. This is great to have a road 10k with 6 left with less than 2 miles to go for a US Championship.
26:10 @ 5 miles, about a 5:10 mile 5. Tuliamuk pushing from the front. Maybe Thweatt & Bates falling off.
Down to Bruce, Hall, Kipyego. 1/2 mile left.
Sara Hall outkicks Stephanie Bruce to win it in 32:27 to Bruce's 32:32. Sally Kipyego 3rd (32:35), Emma Bates 4th, Laura Thweatt 5th.
32:25 Hall FTW!!
She had a gear Bruce couldn't match in the last 400. She must've put 5ish seconds on her in the last 200.
That’s a great run/win for Hall. She should get in a 10,000m on the track this summer(while they still exist...). She could take a big chunk off her PR and likely hit the Doha standard, and maybe even the Olympic standard (giving her another event with an outside shot of making the team, in addition to the marathon).
Also, it’s great that some of our near-top women are racing this often!
At this point in stage, she needs either commit to the marathon or 10k and I think she's sold on the marathon.
Honestly, there's a lot more talent in the women's marathon, but there's a bit of a cross over right now because whoever doesn't make the marathon team in early February will surely try to come back in early July for the 10k. So for Hall it doesn't make much sense to gamble because the 10k might as well be just as stacked. Might as well give herself two chances.
100% agree. If I’m Hall, I try to find a 10,000m in the next few weeks where I may be able to run a qualifying time, then run the 10,000m at USAs for the world rankings points (this is, of course, assuming USATF is going to care about those for qualifying procedures...).
The 10,000m at USAs would be a tune-up race early on in a build-up for Berlin/Chicago/Frankfurt/Amsterdam, where I try to punch an auto Olympic qualifier in the marathon (she doesn’t already have one in the window, does she?). I’m then all in on marathon training until the Marathon Trials in Atlanta, and if I don’t make the team I flip back over to 10,000m training for the T&F Trials.
It gets interesting if she somehow makes the team in the 10,000m this year, as that could really Mesa with fall marathon plans (but making a team and having to plan around that is a good problem to have).

Who is "Kipyeo"? She wasn't in the race. Not only can't you choose a winner, you also can't spell, and your anonymous display of racism is sad. An all-around brilliant display, genius breath!
Sarah Hall is getting faster and faster . Not sure if it is Ryan Hall ‘s coaching or the fact that she is now the bread winner in family now
A lot more women in families are the breadwinners now. :/
I can't possibly be the only person who's noticed how much Rachel Schneider and Colleen Quigley look alike,

Not really. Not unless you mean Schneider is a super discount Quigley
Did Jordan Hasay DNF?
LRC: RESULTS?
