Some of those seed times are pretty fast. Ramsden and Vissa at 14:40? Sadie Sargent at 8:38?
They may be pacing and the seed times are just to have the computer place them in the right heat. Romo is also seeded at 3:46 in the mile and we know he's pacing.
Would love to know what runners like Nuguse and Klecker will be doing with their lives once running is over - like in less than 5 yrs. Watching tv, and playing video games all day as grownups isn’t exactly conducive to honing a future career. Same with the females and their reality show binges all day. ( and checking out letsrun run threads so they can downvote negative comments about themselves)
Dentistry.
People forget there were questions if Yared would even go pro after running 3:34 solo for the then NCAA record at ACCs because he was so set on Dentistry school.
Most of these guys are smart and have good degrees/connections they'll be totally fine.

That's it. They're definitely pacing at 14:40 pace. Hoare is down as a pacer in the 5k as well
My guess is Sage Hurta-Klecker is targeting the American Record in the indoor 1000m. There seems to be no other reason to run a 1000m race when the second fastest person in the race is 20 seconds slower.
American Record (indoor) - Jen Toomey - 2:34.19 (2004)
American Record (overall) - Addy Wiley - 2:31.49 (2024)
Nuguse is the only one who actually backs up the tough talk from OAC. I predict he misses the world record this time around but comes very close. Hurta-Klecker misses just like her husband missed the half marathon American record.

You’re kidding right? Not even close
She was definitely targeting it, she just didn’t get it. 2:02.4 at 800 so needed a 31.7, but she slowed down a lot.

YOU'RE kidding, right? No, you're just trolling.
She hit 800m in 2:02.40, which is on pace for exactly 2:33.00, which would break the record by over a second. She was absolutely targeting the record; she just could not hold the pace for another 200m.
Now, if you need any other simple track concepts explained to you, like why the 400m is two laps instead of one when run indoors, please let me know. I'm here to help the less fortunate.
Maybe a three-fer for Puma Elite today? Dorcus Ewoi has looked sharp this winter.
Not quite. But great run.
Wow!!
4:17/MacLean breaks Shelby's FR by 3 secs!!
Tons of prs behind.
On the CC pod, Beamish posited that the Vissa & Ramsden Millrose results were the product of poor positioning (in a race that opened slower than expected) rather than lack of fitness. Looks like Geordie was on to something.
