    Sorry if this is a stupid question but why wasn't Jane running in the USATF championships 3000m today? Why is she doing this no-name conference instead?

    Simple. It's because she's on a scholarship for BYU and so BYU wants her to run in college meets for the BYU team.

    Can someone explain this to me? Does she need a workout to get ready for NCAAs or something??

    This is a basic as running gets. Real runners exist to compete. See Jane. See Jane run. Run Jane run!

    Wrong! What's basic is that you run a qualifying race in order to qualify, not to run fast. I'm surprised that you haven't learned that by now.

    Sure yes, the margin was unnecessary, but on the other hand it's not if running a mile that is 9 seconds slower than her best will do much to tire her.

    She's way better than her competition. You haven't learned that by now? She qualified.

    Poor personnel management from Taylor. Obviously, Hutchins had a horrific 3000m which cost them the win (also with Jane and Riley underperforming).

    It seems to me she kept her runners out of the events they plan to run at Nationals for the most part.

    How did Jane underperform?
    Her altitude adjusted time for the mile final was 4:21.26 and she won the 3000m

    Jane’s great. By unnecessarily running that fast in the qualifying heat in the mile did nothing to help her win the conference title in the mile … and arguably resulted in her LOSING.
