Think bigger. I'd anticipate he'll be at Kew Gardens Trials to try and make the Marathon squad?
- Hawkins is in.
- Mellor and Connor have the standard.
- Mo is doing the 10.
- Griffiths isn't at the right level.
There is an opportunity for a 60:30 athlete like Smith to try and squeeze out Mellor or more likely Connor (60:55 at Anterim) for a spot?
Smith's 28:00 was great but his race-verified PR is 29:01. JD-vDot puts a 60:30 at bang-on the Oly standard of 27:28 but I don't know when he'd have the opportunity to run a high calibre 10,000m soon... so maybe go for Marathon?
Otherwise give it 4years and lead the way for the 10,000m team
