Slightly bad race for Nyoak on NAU when he was projected to be in their top 5 going into the season. Great race for Sahlman
They really need Gorgas (not racing) and Nyoak to score well for them to have any chance at podium though.
They've got a ton of guys probably in the 50-100 placing spot at Nationals but that's not going to be good enough this year with only 3 All American capable guys. (and that's a stretch this year with how competitive nationals will be)
tough race to get a read on. NAU had it in the bag pretty early and it looks like Keyes/Washburn/Perez/Nyoak all ran as a group. i watched them coming down the stretch and all looked very comfortable, including Nyoak, just cruising along.
Gorgas will be much more of a factor than Nyoak at nationals. in fact, it wouldn't surprise me if Nyoak doesn't even run. Mularkey, Sahlman, Keyes, Gorgas, Grotenhaus, Proser, Perez might be a better 7. they're gonna get pushed hard at regionals, though, that's where Smith will really be able to find his top 7 for nats.
So what’s the score on this Paityn Noe out of Huxley, IA, running for the Arkansas Razorbacks? She just obliterated Valby’s Dale Watts course record by 20 seconds! Are astro and Armstronglivs on it?
This was the same course as the Arturo Barrios right? Previously discussed, the course seemed a lot faster this year than 2 years ago. Cherubet ran 18:37 and 20 were under 20:00 this year. Valby ran 18:58 and was only runner under 20:00 2 years ago.
And what about that Wolfpack Sophomore Grace Hartman, besting last year’s Nuttycombe course time by a whopping 74seconds this year, going under Tuohy’s Nuttycombe time by 14 seconds! She bested Valby’s Nuttycombe record (that was run in the slop.) At this rate, Hartman could be running faster collegiate 5000m than Tuohy did, and then we’ll confess ‘generational talents’ seem to be everywhere?!?

use your eyes (and brain if you have one) and compare course conditions

Did I hit a nerve? I absolutely think the possibility of 5’10” Hartman running faster than 15:03 in college is quite high. You don’t?
