Emilio Young listed with a 3:37.xx PR, think I might have hear about that..Paul Ryan listed in B 15 on Friday as well as Mile on Sat.
Is it possible that Paul Ryan is running Friday night, then pacing on Saturday? I noticed that he's listed towards the end of the start list for Saturday.
I'm kind of with the King here - a sub 3.50 mile run at 2.30pm before the end of May is tough. When you look at Pre results it's not as common as you might think and/or it's usually a 3.49.5-3.50.0 effort coming from a much deeper field. We won't have long to wait to find out though.

I think the Pre thing is it is typically windy and often brisk too. I actually think the huge field is a hindrance because it works out that the pacer has to go out at 55-56 to shake out the field, but then everyone extends themselves early and rests after the pacer brings them through in 55-58+ for the first 2 laps. This setup at 1500 with likely only 4 guys (Cheruiyots, Teare, Keter ~ probably ill-advisedly) who would go with Sowinsky if he brings them through in 56-1:53 will put them in great position to run 3:30 or 3:31. It could be a very good setup for the other Americans ~ Kessler, Prakel to lay off a bit and run positive races going 57-1:55/6-2:53/4 and kick. Good spot to pick off the guys like Keter, Gregorek and Barteslmeyer who might be shooting for 3:32-3.

I do not see Teare going 3:30 or 31
i could be wrong, i do not think his underside is fast enough or 5 K so dominantly quick eithet

3:30-31 is fadt in May.. very
I think he will try but not succeed. I could see a 3:32/3:33 out of him for sure. I tend to think the Cheruiyots will begin to separate from him the last 600.
dont know if this was already mentioned in the thread but it looks like Karissa Schweizer is now listed in the 5k tonight
Nice, another thing I saw was Bowerman advertising Cranny in the 5,000 (not 1,500). So good possibility the BTC women will be going hard after the standard.
Interested to see what time Richardson runs for the 100M. Will she go 10.7 or runs a 10.6? Will she run thru the tape or celebrates 20Ms out? I'm here to see what time she runs.
Nice slate of distance races about to commence. Various interesting storylines in each. I'm on the fence re paying for the USATF feed. How is it?
Better picture quality than NCAAs on ESPN+, John Anderson and Carrie T doing a decent job commentating.
Thanks!
Huge breakthrough by Boreman in the W 300SC. Season bests of 9:33 (2022) & 9:22 (2023), then 9:22 tonight. The list of promising next gen US W steeplers keeps growing.
From the splits, looks like Jaziri and Updike out-Beamished Beamish in the final lap.

Typo: Boreman's previous best for 2023 was 9:36 from a month ago.
