Shannon Osika is a SHOCKER member of the World's team as Houlihan is not running the 1500 there and Shannon has the standard (4:27 mile).
I would like to know how many people had her in their top 3 for the prediction contest.

Yikes.
I’m curious to see if she sticks with this group. (Where else could she go at this point? Wetmore?) She was Top Dog in her last two groups. While the advantages of joining the (arguably) best training group in the country are many, it also has to be mentally rough. Your training mates are your biggest competition & at least a few of them make every single team. It’s early yet.
Serious question: did Okolo just win the photo finish because she has bigger breasts?
Lol triple jumper has a Run Gum singlet and probably just made the worlds team. Nice
Grace seems to be the only top name woman in BTC that isn't killing it. I wonder if it is a matter of team culture. Grace seems like a liberal, entitled Yalie while the others seem more well, down-to-Earth.
Masback, a former 1500 runner, lost track of the lap count for the 1500. Priceless.
Blankenship seemed ecstatic to get second today.
Great run for 30-something Blankenship!

You must know all of those ladies really well to infer that much about their personalites and team dynamics. Please, tell us more.

Don't you know? Letsrun posters are experts in womens personalities and weight management.
Chelimo is a beast. Will that win get people to stop going ga-ga over 3:50 indoor miles. Don't misunderstand me, King CHes is a beast but does anyone on here think Rupp could have dominated a US 1500 final like that? Hell no.
So I assume P Chelimo could run a 3:50 mile indoors if he wanted to.
Did Rupp ever run a championship 1500/mile as a pro?
POTMFD
Anyone who follows Kate Grace on instagram may have noticed that she was down with the flu quite recently, like 1-2wks ago. Pretty simple explanation for today's performance.

Dude she’s primarily an 800 runner. Your proposed diagnosis is completely devoid of sense or reason in any case
Kendra is god damnwreck mentally. She just cant win big races, but america is loaded as hell in the hurdles.
And Brianna Rollins, Nia Ali, or Harper didn't compete .....
There is no pure top woman in the hurdles...competition is insane.
If Nelvis didn't just beat out Harrison, I would have predicted women's hurdles perfectly. Come on!
But congrats on the American record and great race!
Rupp ran the 1500m at US indoors and World Indoors in 2012.
He got 3rd in the 1500m at USAs and then not sure at worlds, nothing memorable.

That's her excuse. She's been doing the 1500 for years. If she's an 800 runner she should do that event.
