At least it looks that way if I'm reading this right. I can't get the schedule to load for some reason but I guess her coaches didn't want to overdo it with the 400 / 800 double with a likely 4x4 in there too.

BYU athletes who can run XC all scratched. Most of NC State W as well, and Hasz of MN. Arkansas W seem to be pointing at Track. 7 of top 10 W milers scratched. Just at first blush.
Probably not a bad move, and seems to indicate that A&M has her long term interests in mind.
Teare, Hunter, and Hedeilli all scratched from the mile, leaving Hocker, Kipsang and Tanner as the favorites, Suliman a dark horse.

looks like OR going after 800 w Hunter, mile with Hocker, 3,000 with Teare. Wonder if Hocker will try to run 3,000 - still active for that. This leaves Teare available for DMR if they want

Thought the same thing. Great move by them to not overrace her in her first year.

I agree completely but she probably will not be there past next year. Even so, it is big of their coaches to do the right thing for this potential phenom.
Wtf why? ?

I think it's DUMB. She has run like 4 races in the past 12 months. No risk of overtraining. Her coaches are still racing her 3 times, except it's 400 prelim, 400 final, and 4x4 instead of 800 prelim, 800 final and 4x4.
She'll have to work harder to win the 400 than she would have to in the 800. She can jog the 800 and win easy. She can easily get tripped in an indoor 400, especially because the 400/200 types will probably beat her to the cut in.
DUMB MOVE. Give her the best chance to win a national championship. It would be in the 800.

This is what I would’ve done. Too often guys who try and double back from the mile on the anchor end up burning out. Hocker should be fine with the 1200 leg and mile double considering his strength. And if he blows up, there’s a good chance the 800 and mile leg can get them back in.

She has no long term A&M interests. She is going for the 400 record to go with her 800 record before she turns pro. She's already proven herself as the best at 800.

call me cynical but I read this as the coach wanting to push the AR 400 runners as far down as possible, figuring others will push their 800 runners down.

That’s exactly what makes it commendable. They realize she has bigger, Olympic fish to fry this summer.
yeah im in the camp that a 400m title means a lot more than an 800m title in terms of her legacy. it would put to rest that nobody can run the 4 and the 8 at a high level simultaneously.
we will all say that she would have won the 800 title had she been in it. less would be convinced she'd get a 400 title it were the opposite.
it made me so happy when there were a dozen posts here calling her open time a "relay split that doesn't count" because it was so unfathomably fast
Boling in the 200 only it looks like?
Brandon Miller in the 800. Not a favorite probably but should be interesting.
Tuohy scratched as noted.
She's done 12 races under the A&M jersey indoors. Flotrack podcast goes into depth with it

NC State scratched everyone except Henes (who has no XC eligibility) from Saturday 3,000, leaving Steelman and Chmiel in 5,000 1 day earlier. No point in Tuohy running 3,000 in any case. Wonder if she or Shaw (or Bush) will run 1,200 on DMR?

So Hocker may run mile prelim, 1200 on DMR 1 1/2 hour later, mile final, then 3,000 1 hour later? Teare anchors DMR, then 3,000 next day.
the 3,000 has to go.

Boling is also Long Jumping.
Brandon Miller is 19th on the list and there is only 1 scratch ahead of him. Only top 16 get in.
No way he runs the DMR.

Based on seeds it looks real tight between Arkansas and A&M women for team title.
