I wouldn't be so sure. Ramsden ran 8:46 for 3000m at the beginning of December. This equates to about a 4:26.5 for the indoor mile and about 4:04 for an outdoor 1500, better than her 4:08 PR. She may have just had an off race last week. The pace at Millrose will be hot with St. Pierre, Hull, and Andrews. If she can latch on and has a good race, I think it is well within her capabilities. Remember, she gapped the field at NCAAs in June.

Ramsden has a shot given she is an NCAA champion with a 4:08 PR already. And this is a great field to go for it. If I had to guess though, I think she runs in the 4:27s similar to what Markezich and May have done so far.

Maia Ramsden/Harvard . . . fresh off her 4:30 opener . . . in the Wanamaker Mile . . . being pulled along by ESP & Jess Hull . . . Tuohy's 4:24.26 CR could be threatened . . .

Maia Ramsden looked like she didn't have anything left in her 4:30 mile. No way she all of a sudden drops another 6 seconds.

Just noticed . . . Ramsden is scheduled to anchor Harvard's DMR tomorrow (Sat) at the Eagle Elite Invite . . . then fly/drive down to NYC for Millrose on Sunday . . .

However . . . did anyone notice Flomena Asekol/FL's 4:26.47 mile at today's BU Valentine meet? . . . where did that come from? . . . #3 AT collegian behind Tuohy's 4:24 & Barringer's 4:25 . . . with Mataoug/Duke and Jepkirui/OK St in the 4:29s . . .

Looks like we all underestimated her

Millrose was a very fast, well paced race. Pulled her to a big pr. Last years Dr. Sanders was much slower and poorly paced which likely cost Tuohy a 4:23 time.

Move on. Record will be 4:20 soon.

I think no matter how you slice it this is a great result for Ramsden

Plourde as well. They both beat Andrews and Stafford.
