Lol, these times are too good to be true. Somebody get a wheel on this course.
Agree! Seems more like 3 miles times to me. Maybe 3.02, 3.03...but 5K seems a stretch.

I'll say this, she was fast at every split so no one section looks short. 3:05, 5:02 (1 m), 6:22, 10:16 (2 m), 12:49, 15:58

Wolfe 14:25 for the win with 20 guys sub 15. Hutchins 15:58 with 20 girls sub 17:30. 100 guys will break 15:45.
What the heck... go buy a lottery ticket.
It's a lightening fast course, so no reason not to be fast through all quadrants. Never seen a xc record predicted to this degree. And that was due to the reputation of the course where a good race with a decent SR would get you sub 16.
Sophia Gorriaran 55 s 400, 2:03 800 places 7th in 17:20
Not sure about the point. Last week Gorriaran ran 19:14 in a 5K in the Class C championship in RI.
Prior to that her best time was 18:16. So she took almost a full minute over her best previous time. Exactly.
i ran those track times in high school and had a 17:28 pr, not out of the ordinary for a fast course. The course distance seems fine from watches on site. Just great footing and championship season racing
Hutchins said in her interview that she could be running a track race in two weeks. If she runs a 3200 she will likely take down Tuohy's 9:47 record. She ran a 9:49 in late August off her summer mileage and looks sharper now.
That 9:49 put her at #10 on the all time 3000/3200/2M combined list. A 9:47 would get her to #5. It would take a 9:41 or 9:45 2M to catch Tuohy (9:01 3000) who is #4 behind Cain, Efraimson and Rainsberger.
I'm just looking at the times and what was written up leading up to the race. 32 boys ran sub 15 in this race. (She would have been 150th in the boys race.). By comparison only two boy runners at nxn have ever run sub 15. So the course is clearly comparatively very fast. Look it is in the books.
Good luck to her. When she ran 9:49 she had two pacers who paced her out to 2400m. It's legal. But I would like to see a straight effort.
BOGUS!

This may be the closest I ever get to being mentioned in an LRC prediction thread
This made me laugh. Good luck in your race!

Most of the top 10 on that combined list including the top 4 did not win their race or even come close. I would like to see Hutchins jump into a pro race and see what she can do with someone to chase the entire way.
I wheeled it this morning at 3.095. That is about 3 seconds. My son ran only his 7th best time of the year today. He has run 9:39 for 3200 but ran over 16 minutes.
I had Hutchins at 10:14 at 2 miles. The splits were accurate. She will run 9:35 this year.
Anything else any of you want to know? It seems most of you are commenting from your living rooms.
Speed ratings are up
Hutchins 166.53
Wolfe 195.02
So the "National Championships" is not a 5K.
I don't understand the people who spend an hour wheeling the course. It's a cross country course and it will never be exact, Athletes race on tough, fast, long, and short courses. You just worry about racing the people in front of you. If I saw a team parent wheeling a course before a race, I'd throw the wheel in the pond. That crowd is typically obsessed with pace and PRs rather than flat out racing.
But the course is very conducive to fast times. You have a lot of long stretches, the grass is very thin and cut extremely low and you have great footing. And the course is over 30 feet wide in all parts, so you can get out a little smarter and have the room to move up.
I do wish Jenna would race the tough competition rather than chasing times, especially since she's a junior. But Joan Hunter is an accomplished coach and knows what she's doing.
I would say this is a bit generous, but in the ballpark. In the boy's race a 163 SR was 16 flat. There were 32 boys who ran sub 15. I would be curious out of the top 20 in each race how many ran their best times and by what margin.
And for the Garmin geeks. my kids who raced and posted on Strava had the following distances: 3.13, 3.09, 3.12, 3.16, 3.13, 3.14, 3.15, 3.13 and 3.10.
