Stacked Boston 5000: Ahmed, Fisher, Kincaid, Mantz; GDS, Cranny, Frerichs, Kelati, Henes

Oh sh!t, should be an amazing race.

Bumping because this could be one of the distance meets of the indoor season and it's only a couple of days away.

Agreed, there should be more fanfare for this!

About a 50/50 shot that both the American and Canadian (+ North American) records fall in the men’s race. It’s a rare situation where these types of performances are actually expected, given the quality of the group and their performances in previous and similar situations.

Should be very close to the 13 minute mark on the men’s side.

Perhaps as low as 1445-1450 on the women’s, and able to give Shalane’s record a real scare!

Can’t wait!

Does anyone know what the expected pace will be?  I assume they have lined up pacers.

I know he’s good at it but holy crap I wish we could EVER see Grant Fisher run an event lower than 5000m. Does he have no turnover? Is he afraid of the competition? These are questions we may never have answers to.

Thank you Cole Hocker for running 800m-5000m like a real pro.

I wish there'd be some college guys in this one. I think the NAU guys could probably hold on for around 13:15.

Young and Bosley are running the 3,000 at UW.

That track is faasssttttt. Should be a blazer.

Don't know men's pace. Stafford said in LR interview after her 3k last week that the women are going for the North American Record. Tbh based off of Kelati's millrose race, I could see 4 women dipping under Flanagan's 14:47.62 AR - GDS, Cranny, Frerichs, Kelati. So assuming at least 70-71/400.

is it only available on flotrack?

Stacked? When you say "stacked" you mean "sorta just average" right?

He has raced at least 1 1500 every year he's been pro and last year at Stanford. Most recently- Sound Running 1500 2021, 3:36 for 4th behind Centro, Heyward, Scott. Beat Josh Thompson, Vince Ciattei, Will Paulson, Henry Wynne.

Weird take, would be like saying why doesn't Hocker race the 10,000 like a real pro.

It's more fun when we get to see the bogus seed times!

What's the deal with this meet?

206 accepted entries for the 5k? Hunter is 19th, Mantz is 30th

265 for the 3k

343 for the mile

An 800 and a 1k with similarly ridiculous #'s

BU does two marathon meets every year. In recent years, the distance events feature professional time trials to chase records, PBs or qualifying performances.

Agreed! Considering Vanessa Fraser ran 14:48i 2 years ago, and that 14:47 is equivalent to ~8:35 for 3k, I think this record is definitely going down. I only wish Alicia Monson was in the field as well.

I think GDS will win in low 14:40s, but even faster wouldn’t shock me.

I actually didn’t see that he had a good 1500 result that is pretty cool. I just wish he would run a 3k, he ran 7:50 as an U20, and I think he could definitely hang with the likes of Teare and Hocker at that distance, maybe even some higher tier international competition. I don’t think it’s like asking why Hocker doesn’t run the 10k more, I think it’s definitely more common to see 5k/10k guys in the indoor 3k than it is to see milers in the 10k.

Lol why are you guys hating. These massive meets are awesome. PR opportunities for everyone
