Also, take a look at Woody's record in the 10,000m since 2021:
- 2021: 1st
- 2022: DNF
- 2023: 1st
- 2024: 2nd
Woody has a track record of making these teams, Cooper's unproven at that level over 10,000m. I think he would be really good, but it's a real stretch to say he would definitely beat Woody or Nico. (We know Grant is out of reach, this year and possibly forever.) I'm not sure we know Blanks' ceiling for this year either. We know he's putting down pretty good short-distance times while reportedly focusing on 10k training, so if he stays healthy he's a threat to make the team too.
