Rohrer didn't look 100% at the prelims, she DNF'd the 5k there

Bethan Knights DNF'd

My daughter, a D1 runner, commented to me immediately after watching the semifinal live stream that Rohrer did not look good. I asked if it was her form which we know is not smooth but my daughter said her comment was based on Rohrer's face. I was hoping Rohrer did not win at prelims because she was holding back to save her strength for the final race today but based on her race today I have to assume that something has happened between her 31:58 debut at Stanford and the semifinal. I hope she recovers between now and the start of the cross country season.

Yeah, there was definitely something wrong with her tonight. I'm glad that she gutted it out, though.

Update: she had a herniated disc.

Oregon did not look like runaway team champs to me.

Alice Wright is beautiful maybe the hottest track and field athlete I've ever seen also the Women's team championship is a 2 team race I have Oregon with 72 points and Georgia with 62 AND U$C with 48 points GO DUCKS

UGA let's get it!

Love to see Oregon tank at home in front of its smug, oh-so- special "fans."

I'm glad Alice Wright hung on there for 2nd.

Quite an enjoyable race.

She did the same thing last year. Where she led for most of the race.

Huh??? I don't get either comment?

So GB won the men's 10K, then 1-2 in the women's. And they have a defending champ in the w1500 (Rhianwydd Price), plus the indoor champ for mens' mile.
