Looking at the splits on the USATF site and it says she ran 28.8 for the last lap. She looked unbelievable. Monson looked like a hobby jogger behind her and she is very good.
Anyone else think Elle might be better at 3k than 1500?

Purrier's performance in 3000m is normal for her.
In the 1500m, coach Coogan wanted to have 2 runners qualify again. and instructed Purrier to slow the race down so Maclean could use her strong kick to get 2nd. Purrier's normal time for 1500m is sub-4, this race was 4.06s. The race plan went awry when Norris's last surge caught Purrier by surprise, before she could react (differential of 0.01s). Both Purrier and Maclean knew that the race plan had gone terribly awry, which was why both were somber after the race.
Did you just make this up or is this real?

I think Elle is better at the 3k than the 1500. But outdoors I think she is still better at the 1500 than the 5k.

What went wrong was that Purrier started looking around with 5 meters left in the race. THAT is why Purrier isn't going to Worlds.
If Purrier had run though the line and not made a rookie mistake, she wouldn't have finished 3rd.
That actually makes sense. She did go out so much slower for this race.

would be a terrible plan considering there were other legit runners in the race like Norris and McGee.
Yeah, I really think if Purrier hadn't looked around it would have saved her that .01 that pushed her to third and off the team. A good lesson learned I think, for both runner and coach. They did not respect the competition.
She had a transient bout of finish line narcolepsy. She'll be OK
Watching the race, idk why Monson was both content to lead & not run harder if she was going to front run. Purrier is going to win an 8:40s or 50s race every time. But they both made the team so it's all good.

I think you answered your own question. Monson's pacesetting was enough to break the field apart and get her on the team for Worlds. Maybe she didn't care about #1 or #2 today.
Post-race quote from Monson: "The whole plan was to get to World's, so Mission Accomplished for today"
Elle Purrier proves that conservatives do it better!

1000% not real. No real coach would tell their athlete to let another win. You tell them each separately how they can win and you let them race it out.

You mean underestimating their opponents and losing in their main event?
Why do you presume Elle is a conservative? What evidence do you have of that?
Purriers "normal" time is not sub 4. I think she's broken it twice. And where did you get info that Coogan told her to slow race down? Skeptical about that.
Exactly. Most Vermonters are liberals. Hello Bernis Sanders!

Elle Purrier is very proud of her farmer family. With the way the radical left wants to ruin american industry, how can one be a farmer and NOT be a conservative?
