2023 Stanford Invitational - Official Discussion Thread

Good to see Strangio running well.

Looks like Roe and thorvaldson are in 10000.

Ncaa 1# until that “blonde pony tail kid” toes the line….

Sahlman 13:42.98. Coming off a great senior year in h.s. much was expected of him. Not great but not terrible either. I hope he has a good rest of the season but more importantly stays healthy and builds his strength going into the fall.

obviously we dont know how his training is going, any interruptions etc., but i would imagine by late winter early spring is when you would be fully adjusted to daily training at Flagstaff altitude. Hope he can build a nice training block this spring and this summer. Next fall is when i'll start to be concerned if he's still not turning a corner

Looks like Roe might just be pacing some teammates? The whole OSU pack is well off the pace already

Roe and her team mates way back early

Pace is not slow at 6:30 thru 2000

Emily Venters is on one right now. Excited to see what time she can post this early in the year

Get and Vestri but this might be fast for rest....osu runners 200 m back I think

Venters is moving

Is she going to lap OK State?

holy cow this is impressive. The NCAA #1 was nice while it lasted Allie Hays...

Wow

31:48 for Venters. New favorite in the 10k at nationals. What a last ~5-6 weeks she's had

For sure high expectations for Sahlman, but given the plan was to red shirt xc, he's had a solid yr1.

- unredshirted to be top 5 in a couple of meets

- got to run NCAA as top7 guy on national champion

- now has college track prs of 4:03/13:42

- the 13:42 gets him in west regional

You can build off this kind of start!

OSU women never race hard and always hold back. Lame

It is a oerfect night and probably 20 f cooler than Raleigh but still.
