So glad she is healthy.
A lock to make the Olympics now?

Olympic standard
Is 15:14 good enough? I'd like to know.
She is probably going only for the 10. She mentioned being overtrained so I wish her the best, one of my faves.
idk if she’s a lock but there’s a clip of her in the final 100 and she kicked really strong as put a lot of distance between her and fraser so it’s good to see she has that quick change of speed heading into the trials
Unless she held back quite a bit. US women's field is so deep now.

No, there are multiple sub-15 runners in the field, and others that are around the 15:04 mark so she doesn't have a great chance of making the 5k team. She hasn't run a 10k in a while, so I'm not sure where she's at there but she has no shot at the 10k if Cranny and Houlihan end up running it because Sisson is near a lock (and those 3 would account for the 3 spots). I don't now what's going on with Marielle Hall but if her recent running is any indication of where she's at she has no shot of making the olympics. Also, keep in mind that Molly Huddle is still an outside shot at the 10k.
15:14 is okay but not even close to being in the hunt to make the team.

And Sara Hall as well.
I interviewed her last night after the race and she’s only focusing on the 10,000 at the Trials.
I'm glad she's made this comeback, she is such a talent. However, I worry that her imbalance in stride will limit her in making the team... just at the top level, you need to firing on all cylinders and she has a noticeable limp that doesn't translate to the power and efficiency she will need to make the team in any event. Good thing going for her is that there are a lot of question marks out there in USA distance for women in terms of who is healthy and who is not.. Infeld will know the weaknesses of her teammates.

Houlihan isn’t qualified to run the 10k at the trials because she doesn’t have the standard. Unless somewhere between now and the trials she finds a 10k to run in she has to choose either 5k or 1500 and she’s currently entered in both per the status of entries page on the US Olympic Trials site.
Right now Cranny and Sisson are locks also Schweizer is most likely to double in the 5k and 10k but not sure if she would run both at the Olympics if she got top 3 in both at the trials. I have a good feeling that if Schweizer doubles, gets top 3

and infield is 4th she will give up the 10k spot so Infeld can go to Olympics. However, if Schweizer is top 3 in both 5k and 10k and a non bowerman runner is 4th she will double at Olympics
Won’t make it- anyone not at 100% fitness doesn’t Make the team…. Ever
Well, that was odd and uncalled for.
Emily is great, sincere, super talented, and an awesome person. I am rooting for her and love that she is in this sport.
Well, my wife can’t stand her on social media. Says she only follows her because she is an inspiration in grit but that’s she is obnoxious and all about herself and quite annoying. But a fan!

Fixed it for you
The liberal hatred surfaced again. She is doing really well right now. Let her be!
