It's so funny though. Last year heat 1 and heat 2 in 1500 were pretty even if my memory is correct. This year Al Sal pulls a power trip, doesn't have Mo run, tries to set it up Galen and an 800 guy kicks their butt in the slow heat.
The guys that got screwed by Al Sal in heat 2 showed him.
Now it's the entire @OregonPJT at the front of the pack chasing the lone leader @aaBrauny. #OxyHP
@ChrisSolinsky makes a move to the front and tucks in behind @djritzenhein. It's still @aaBrauny followed by @lukepuskedra.
SOLINKY IS 3RD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thought there were pacers? 5:20 for 2k is too slow for the A

Braun leads through 3k in 8:03. Then all the big names, Ritz, Solinsky, Puskedra, Farah, Rupp about 15m back.
4 to go, SOLINKSY IS SECOND
Some gamesmanship going on as Ritz pulls aside to make Solinsky lead. He hesitates but takes the lead. #OxyHP
so...they're on 13:25 pace...who cares. Oxy not high performing at all
Braun 10:12 with three to go. Then Solinsky and the field at 10:17.
Braun 11:17 with two to go. The field needs to close hard to get the A. #OxyHP
Solinsky dropped by the main chasers of Rupp, Farah, Ritz and Puskedra. #OxyHP
Holy, Ritz, Farah and St. Lawrence caught Braun in matter of 200 meters. 12:18 with one to go. #OxyHP
Puskedra?
Farah misses the A with 13:16. Ritz in 13:18, then St. Lawrence. They screwed around too long. #OxyHP
Oregon Project guys want others to lead then lay down massive last lap kicks and embarrass everyone.
The rest of the field waits for Oregon Project guys to dictate the pace.
The result is slow times and no standards.
Men’s 5k (13:15.00 A/13:20.00 B)
