This may be ambitious for Tyynismaa coming back from injury. Top 5

Post got cut off. Top 5 will be pretty competitive this year I think. Churchill will also be on her home course.

Looks like it will be warm, with 78% humidity in the morning.

That was last year. Nevada Mareno is not even at NC State anymore, and has exhausted eligibility.

for last year!

Stephens has been really strong so far her freshman year. Could see her potentially as a top 5 candidate if everything goes right.

The course records are:

19:25, Whittni Orton at '21 NCAAs.

Connor Mantz 22:47, at '21 pre-nats. That is fast!

Odds either of these will go down?

Pretty decent odds Tuohy takes that down. Chmiel ran 19:34 that same day of Orton's record. And Tuohy routinely runs about 10 seconds ahead of Chmiel.

depends if someone takes it thru 3K in 9:40ish

Hope that Tuohy is able to get back on track these next few weeks!

Pack is auditioning for 6 & 7. Howlett, Quarzo have to battle it out with Gapes and Hartman.

2021 NCAAs at Tallahassee

Chmiel (NCS) – 19:34.6
Markezich, Olivia (ND) – 19:38.0
Tuohy (NCS) – 19:43.1
Bush (NCS) – 19:52.9
Brown (UNC) – 20:15.0
Harrington (UNC) – 20:16.2
Strzelecki (ND) – 20:23.4
Neglia (UNC) – 20:34.7
Dobson (UNC) – 20:48.7
Roark (SYR) – 20:51.9

Idk how the weather compares, but I suspect Notre Dame may do the same thing they did last year and push the pace, it worked well for them.

The Hartman train may have already left the station at #6, so 3 for 1 spot at #7.

Also of course how will Bush and Tyynismaa run?

Lastly what strategy and performance will the 'Compromising Irish' bring?

Hartman is safe. Not sure about Bush. What happened to Howlett? Thought she was solid in 2019. Nothing spectacular since then.

Is start list up yet? I can't find it.
