Yeah, and Sara had run on that San Diego course in 2014 with what seemed to be a qualifying time but which was not accepted, same situation as Kevin Castille this year.
Got to be honest my first thought when seeing the results was, "Rupp is so f'ing good." Would love to see him run the marathon trials.
Marathon won in 2:23 by Nick Filippazza, NY, women, Anne Creamer, 2:57, Gainesville.
So the question now is whether CD actual runs the Trials
I remember watching her win FL or NXN a while ago. Then what happened? Went to Duke - but I don't recall her ever being an NCAA XC All-American or anything? Was she basically injured for 4 years? Now running in Boulder?
Anyhow - nice to see that she is running again. Wonder if she runs the trials?
Good luck Ashley, and all those that qualified today!

She had some health issues leading up to and in college. But she now is working in Colorado and is running for a club team. She looks really healthy, and has come a long way in a very short time. Not surprising, given her crazy talent. Would be fun to see her turn into a competitive post-collegian, and today was a good first step.

Um yes, she will definitely run the trials.
Of the 14 women running sub-1:15:00, 7 of them had already qualified for the 2016 Olympic Marathon Trials and so 7 of them were new qualifiers.
#4. Keely Maguire, 25*, Newmarket, NH 1:13:49 5:38
#5. Dylan Hassett, 22*, Greenville, SC 1:14:09 5:40
#6. Olivia Mickle, 24*, Beaverton, OR 1:14:15 5:40
#7. Erin Osment, 22*, Charlotte, NC 1:14:18 5:40
#9. Ashley Brasovan, 25*, Golden, CO 1:14:30 5:41
#11 Karen Roa, 25*, Boston, MA 1:14:35 5:42
#12 Nicole DiMercurio, 24*, Greenville, SC 1:14:37 5:42
Olivia Mickle set a new PR by 1:10.
Erin Osment set a new PR by 2:23.
Ashley Brasovan set a new PR by 3:40.
Karen Roa set a new PR by 2:29.
Keely, Dylan, and Nicole don't have a HM time listed in ARRS.
It looks like a lot of great, young American women talent for the marathon.

No one gives a fvck.
What about the men?

Does this qualify as a bad result for CD? Ignoring time, he was beaten by two B level American guys he would normally destroy on the track. Time not great relative to debuts by guys like Puskedra and Estrada.
I've seen over and over that during marathon prep you aren't likely to pr at 1/2 marry. Hope to see Chris Derrick at the trials. With today's results it could be an awesome field with awesome results. Great seeing that many U.S. Guys qualify!
Is this course always this fast, or don't athletes this fast usually show up for this race. Seems so fast, is it accurate?
What percentage of these guys who only qualified with a 1:04 half will fail to break 2:20 at the trials?

Probably most of them, but the trials is not a race where you try to set a PR. It's a race where you try to make the team.
That said:
In principle, a 1:04 half is much much better than a 2:20, but half marathons are more like an extended 10k than they are a full marathon. To succeed in the marathon requires more than just a high VO2. It requires that a runner really get a feel for the vagaries of the distance, she or he must be cunning in a way that other races don't require.
On one hand, I'm glad that the Trials will see more of America's top distance runners in it. But I still think, on balance, we should have stuck with the marathon as the only race distance at which one can qualify.

Way to hold someone's youthful mistakes against them for life. Ever hear of forgiveness, Christian? Kevin probably contributes more to the world that a gaping bilehole of negativity like yourself.
How come we area supposed to honor those who make "youthful" mistakes as some kind of hero because he runs fast (probably with a little sauce too)?
Millions of people manage to go through life without peddling drugs AT ANY point in their lives. Kevin did contribute a lot of misery and heartache to those who bought his drugs. I doubt he gives one though about those who's lives he ruined.
And he's a big cry baby.
"Hom come" lol
Nobody is saying honor him.
We're just saying selling drugs at age 18 of not necessarily causing "misery" (been to a college campus lately) no matter what 80s movies told you, and in any case a guy deserves to move on over two decades.
Lives he's ruined? Huh? And how do you (think you) know what he doesn't care about?

I'm a neutral observer. How is coaching high school or working at a gym "a lot of great things"? Those seem like fairly ordinary low-level occupations.
