In Parker Valby's 10,000 collegiate record, NONE of the lapped joggers (they were jogging) moved out.

Biathlon

Cross country skiing

Cyclocross

Etc

I thought it was a bit odd as well. There were a bunch of males around on the infield, and they were nonchalant. The gal broke a fourteen year old record, and it was like “ho hum” with the crowd.

This is why that cannot be the rule. You cannot DQ almost the entire field at the NCAA Championships.

"Amy Skieresz of Arizona could see her nearest pursuer in both of her 10,000-meter titles at the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships.

That’s because she nearly lapped the entire field both times.

Skieresz had huge margins of victory in those two races – 63.39 seconds in 1997, 62.64 seconds in 1998 – the largest, in fact, recorded in NCAA DI history in any running event, including cross country."

Foolish choice by Valby & her coach to run this race, they knew this was coming.
She should have run The Ten, worked out for Nico. Really bad optics for the sport.

It's behind a paywall, you never ask a woman her age.

Same pathetic poster makes same pathetic thread.

So what happens if you're required to STAY in lane 2 and multiple runners are lapping you at once. Kick for the finish 3 wide, and the runner being lapped on the home stretch is required to stay in lane 2... How is this better than the lapped runner just hugging the rail as tight as possible?

it's bc L.A. sucks. Too much sun. They train 365 days a year in a T and shorts. APU had four 10Ks, Mt Sac will have eight 10Ks. every gd mf dist kid in the world is in L.A. now to get the A std.
