Official 2025 Sunset Tour Live Discussoin Thread (Main program begins 11:15 pm ET, 8:15 pm Pacific)

Hertenstein and Roe got WC Standard. Schweizer and Ryan under-15.

Monson on the right track with a 15:01, considering how long she was out

She wasn’t ready for that 2:59 first 3 laps. This isn’t ncas anymore, Tactical kicks won’t exist anymore.

what happened to Jenna Hutchins? she blew up early, got lapped and DNF's in final lap. just not her day.

Who is Alicia Munson?;)

Both of those guys calling her Munson. Come on dudes.

Great run by Rocky Hansen! With that 13:07, he now has a faster PB than Parker Wolfe, and he has a faster PB at age 20 than Nico Young had at that age.

Roe: “Your move, Valby. “

Incredible improvement in her first year as a pro.

Hertenstein was the first to join with Pete Julian in Boulder with his newly branded Union Athletics Club.

First huge success for Pete's Dragons.

Picking Andrews & Houlihan as virtual locks for the 5000 team.

Hertenstein now looks to lead the chase pack for that third spot.

Seems all of the top ncaa ran poorly today. Hartman and Kennedy both faded badly in 15:14 (16 sec off PR) and Kennedy in 15:25 (15 sec off her PR). Did ncaas cook them?

Hertenstein is now the fastest Tampa Bay schooled 5000m runner ahead of one P. Valby.

Puma elite is officially “the eating disorder group”

Mistake, Kennedy in 15:24 (14 sec off PR).

Running amazing but she looks painfully thin and there is no denying it. Who is the coach?

2sec/pound/mile

Is this Hertenstein first race for UAC? If so it's a 22 sec PR!

I see that July 20th is the deadline to qualify for Nationals. For those on the bubble, what meets are left? Portland's Stumptown is next Saturday...any others?

No.

Joined with Pete back in October '24.

First race as a UAC pro was an 8:45/3000 FTW @ BU Opener in December.

Has had many races since, including an indoor 14:56.

So, tonight's 14:48 race was an 8 second improvement.

Just as important, her 2:12.39/64.51 close was by far the fastest in the field. Very impressive for a race paced sub-14:50. Bailey signature closing kick from college is still there.

What do Hutchins/Hartman/Kennedy have in common? They all ran indoors then the outdoors conf finals, regionals and nationals. They all looked gased today. All 3 will probably be at USAs. Unfortunately, their XC training camps are in Aug before school starts! Where's the break for them?? (And yes I'm a worry-wort).

she tried to stay with the 15:00 pace early and it did not work out well for her
