Keira has no shot at the 10k team because the cheatershoes aren't allowed.

She's easily outclassed by Sisson, Huddle, Infield, Schneider, Kelati, Marielle Hall, Sara Hall, Monson, Rogers, Ostrander and potentially someone like Werner or Henes. There will be a lot of strong 5k runners moving up like Frasier and maybe Cranny because the 5k is stacked (Houlihan, Schweizer, Rowbury, Purrier, and others).

Heck, Schweizer might even move up to the 10k because she has a better medal shot there than in the 5k where she'll be outkicked.

+1 I bet she will suffer the Julien Wanders syndrome on the track. Super responder to the shoes - probably worth 3 minutes+ at her slower than the men's speed - but will easily get outclassed by the track specialists when she's forced to wear spiked or flats.

She has plenty of experience on the track -- did you not follow any of her other performances in 2020, or know that she ran the 1,500 while at American? Besides, every Nike athlete or shoe-wearing Nike runner will be wearing DragonFly track shoes, maybe an updated version for 2021. And non-Nike runners will have similar shoes developed by the other companies.

Cheptegei broke records in the Next%. He also broke track world records in DragonFly. Speed is speed.

Is Hasay planning on attempting to make the 10k team? Her chances are slim, but nothing to lose...

Yes, she posted on an IG story for USATF that she plans to take a break, and then focus on shorter distances and improving her speed. Would like to take a crack at the track trials, then work toward building for a fall marathon. No real chance she makes the 10k team, but I think stepping away from the marathon and sharpening her speed is a great idea for her.

Because if you look at the majority of people who are accused of doping on here,they are nearly always non-white non- Americans.

Maybe because the only people on here who get accused of doping are really good world class runners - so considering the best white american marathoner (who by the way gets accused of doping all the time - oh wait just about every world class white american runner get accused all the time) is about the only one running top world class times, i guess that makes sense hmm.

pretty much the only ones that don't get accused are the Japanese.

What I want to know is, does her doorbell work?

Or does she have a potato farm?

The way she finished yesterday, 5:15’s, she is a 2:20-2:21 marathoner.

Finishes every race strong and fresh.

She is on a trajectory to set American records at 10,000-marathon.

These are the people most likely to dope. They are addicted to the attention they are getting and want more. You see it in the age group ranks of Ironman and cycling. Why do master runners cheat? Same reason. This lady does it for the gram and everybody has bought in to the story. Has the means and the motive to dope. I rest my case.

You have no case. Go away with your fake news.

+1

No case, just empty words from a degenerate who was never fast. So sad :’(

Just because she ran all those times does not mean she isn't drug aided and doping in whatever forms. The increase in her times is far is too huge. Who goes from a 3:14 marathon to a 2:19 in such a short period? one who cuts corners and cheat is who. Plus she has ties to Salazar. I think that pretty much says it all.

Hardly fake news. Nobody improves that fast and anyone working or associated with Salazar is a huge red flag and her coach worked under Salazar. She has a fake TUE among other things. Wake up.

All fake times.

Has nothing to do with the color of your skin. Has to do with the times run and the increase in improvement in such a very short period of time. Keira is 99.9% taking a TUE and who knows what else. One does not come within less than a mile of national class men in such an event and certainly not with a head wind. Not everyone is clueless & I ran at World Champs and Olympic Trials so I know a fraud when I see one. It sickens me to see her literally steal fame and prize $ from other women. That fame that is deserving for others cannot come back now. That time has passed. Maggie Montoya was 2nd and should have been the winner. Keira is selfish and narcissistic. I just wish USATF did hair follicle testing and chem counts to see where levels where and called out the cheaters. But athletes like Keira saw a way to cheat and they took that route. But karma will come to her like it did to FloJo. Just a matter of time. Or that they get caught like Shelby.

+1

The people who really know this sport are suspicious as can be about Keira.

I, for one, am pumped for Maggie Montoya. Her story is pretty great too, and nobody is going to make a big deal about it.

D'Amato passes the eyeball test.

Move on.

2 THE GILLS!!!

Thank you for sharing your perspective.

And wow, I just figured out who you are. I'm a DC area runner and I remember my dad mentioning your name as one of the top female runners of your era. Anyway, I'm glad for your perspective. All the best to you.

What is world champs and OTs like, atmosphere-wise? Do the athletes do their own thing or do they talk much with each other? Air probably is tense with pressure, excitement, etc.

Reading more about KdA; this is interesting. If you are a true Trials competitor, do you have any other stories of life at the trials or in training you can share?
