2025-26 USATF Cross Country Championships Live Discussion Thread

So top 6 qualify, but presumably they "take" an alternate or two, right?

(In other words, does Allie O get a ticket? Or does USATF assume it's easy enough to put someone on a domestic flight if needed.)

Agree, lately it seems she holds back too much at the start of events...she had way too much left in the tank.

Tuohy will be coaching in college for the next forty years. Long term career goals trump the short term glory hunting.

Honestly...what happened to Touhy?

Allie O with the fastest last 1k by over 6 seconds!

You saw how hard she was kicking for 7th. I think she was thinking about alternate of the cheeky 6th due to someone opting out.

I'm embarrassed to admit that I don't know Katie Izzo is.

seeing this whole other section of glendoveer in xc is interesting, would be interesting it they incorporated more of that other section into the nxn course

What happened to Dani Jones? She DNFed

wow, she finished 7th, great for her pro debut. does she make the team? usually theres someone in the Top 6 who decides not to run or gets hurt.

Great coverage. Splits every km and no commercials!

Didn’t think that was such a bad race for Tuohy or Valby. Not in the mix, not on the team, but decent fitness and let’s hope they’re healthy for summer track.

No she isn't going unless two women choose not to run at Worlds which is in our home country

Kelati brought it!!!

And happy for Hartman....Team title and now donning the RW&B.

I have given my theory. My theory is that she has to be super careful not to jeopardize her long term career goals, which means trying to compete clean which is impossible. Plus there have been injuries. It started in college. All things aside, she has not looked good since 2023.

this is letsrun, yes he would

Carrie talks over everyone.
