Okay buddy, I’ll take that bet every day of the week. Bosley ain’t breaking the collegiate record. He’s not running faster than 12:57.14 this weekend.
While I’d agree with this I could very well see him under 13:20 if not 13:15. He ran that NYC road 5K (not fast) in 13:49 5 weeks ago and was definitely on the upswing.
Hertenstein ran 15:10.98 in the W5000 final at 2024 NCAA Outdoor Champs, placing 3rd just .94 sec behind Olemomoi. Last 400m in 63, fastest close in the field.
In the W3000, it'll be interesting to see who keeps pace with Hertenstein, Kazimierska and McCabe in the final 400m. More strong racing in Heat 2, though I couldn't pick a favourite.
Weirdly, Nathan Green's two previous 3Ks were DNFs. Can the UWash speedster 1) finish this one, and 2) hang with Abdalla, Martin, new pro Waskom and the Tar Heels?
Men's 3k is the race were a new CR is most likely.
7:36 -- from Drew Bosley, of all runners -- seems the most vulnerable.
Maybe Lemengole and Blanks can get the 5k records but not counting on it.
Note: Nico's 12:57 is only 8 seconds off Bekele's WR.
Tuohy's 8:35/3k CR appears the safest.
Agree re Tuohy's 8:35, for now; Lemngole may give it a scare at Millrose racing with pros. Sat's winning time around 8:4X-low, maybe quicker if someone really smashes the last few laps? In 2023, five runners went sub-8:50 at this meet. Wouldn't shock me to see 7-8 do so tomorrow.
From what I heard Matsasa is running the mile and just pacing the 1000m for his teammates. He should go for 3 laps aiming for 1:22-1:23 at the 600m mark, so no head to head with Kilali, which we don't know in what kind of shape is
Good endurance on him and looks like took it from 4 laps to go and won going away (will have to watch). Kipkemboi and Matsatsa both under 3:55. I wonder how fast it will take to get in the ncaa mile field.
