Questions about this weekend's PTF

most importantly, will Galen Rupp win the 10k?

Men's 400:

1. Why such a weak field?

Because the entry standard is 0:50 and because PTF has always been a distance-oriented meet

Scott Fauble has some hilarious Twitter posts on this meet.

I haven't been able to find info about streaming the meet online anywhere. Anyone got the low down?

If he stars he will blow the field out of the water

It’s on there website for 5.99 but if you are a high school tf athlete it is free.

$5.99 would be for attending the meet, right? I was asking about streaming.

Haven't looked into streaming options yet, but for sure it'll be behind a paywall. And would be shocked if they allow any spectators. Assuming athletes/coaches only.

There are no spectators, the $5.99 is for the streaming. It's a pretty good deal actually, you don't have to pay a $30 monthly subscription for something that you will forget to cancel. And a large portion of that money goes back to prize money for the athletes.

No 5.99 is for the stream but Nike is picking up the tab for high schoolers so it’s free if your coach emails the people from the meet.

Men's 5000:

1. How good is Ryan Hill at the moment?

2. Why is the Lomong/Fisher/Kincaid trio split up among two heats when the strongest have been in heat one this whole meet?

3. Who will win and who will go sub 13:14?

Is this even allowed? Should we let the fatest guys in the field run in the "B" heat? Weird.

Am thinking we should go by their times and not weight. But yeah, I suppose you'd typically find the fatest guys in the B Heat. Will be interesting to see the Women's 10K. Even with some scratches they'll have over 30 in the field. Can we please go over some kind of protocol in the pre race meeting or instructions where all the lapped women do the same thing? Whether it's move out to Lane 3 or keep your position in Lane 1, I don't care, but it's crazy to see some moving out & others not. (Tho it does add some drama)

Multnomah County, which is where L&C College is located, went to low risk status yesterday. Spectators should be allowed.
