Notable NCAA scratches:
Abby Nichols (Colorado) scratched 10000m
Abdihamid Nur (NAU) scratched 1500m and 5K
Nico Young (NAU) scratched 1500m
Katelyn Touhy (NC St) scratched 1500m
Jenna Magness (Mich St) scratched 5k
Taylor Roe (OSU) scratched 1500m
Full lists:
rumors are Nur is turning pro, limiting racing pre worlds
W 1500 looks like Vissa/Heymach/Degenero and then others like Bush/Skyring
W 5000 Nichols/Touhy/Roe 1 race only while Chelangat, Ryan and Gfegory have 10000 first
W 10000 looks like Chelangat to me, with Gregory, and everyone else fight it out
oh shooot nico young will win the ncaa 5000m .. good for him
i kinda support nico young coz he supports katelyn tuohy lol
Adding to interesting scratch decisions:
Ky Robinson/Stanford scratching from both the Steeple & 10k to focus on the 5k . . .

Watch out for Brian Fay - the man has a kick
Gear in 1500, will be better than seed time.
watched the indoor 5k and stanford men were also in it, so i guess they are the contenders, nico young just has to run away for him not to be outkicked
the women's 5000m is a bloodbath ... a fresh tuohy, roe and nichols
absolutely going to be a crazy race
does gear have a kick? i think 1500m is vissa vs heymach

yes I should have lumped Gear in there somewhere, though I'd stick with the top 3 I named...Vissa looks very dangerous to me without having to run an extra race outdoors (vs DMR indoors)
You have recently seen Gear's gears at 1500, don't forget Degenero's 59 close at 1500.
As we learned last year getting thru regional is first challenge, but I agree 5k will be fast. Nichols is basically stating she wants to run fast, and 'no respect Roe' will just run faster. While there is some logic for a tactical race, I don't see it happening. Both Nichols and Tuohy love to run fast, and cu - covert and NC state - maybe 3-4 wolfpackers can help with pacing. I'm looking at the winner going 15 flat in a memorable race like the Penn 4x1500.

Nope. Did you watch SECs. Gear ran terrible and cost the Hogs the team title. I'm sure Harter ripped her a new one. She will be a non factor.

Nichols must be confident, she knows what Tuohy seems capable of......and I agree she is very good and without the 10000 in her legs
Where is the Bailey girl from Indiana whose usually in the mix? Why she scratched the 1500M and 5k!?

She did not seem to run Big 10 championship so maybe she is injured
Grace Stark scratched the hurdles, believe she was injured during SECs. This is a huge blow to Florida's chance of winning the team title.

Doubt it! Probably not going to have a big PR in the championship race... 1530 indoors... Maybe a bit faster
Mercy tuohy wayment vissa 4 distance winners

the moment abby nichols scratched the 10k was the moment the women's 5000m race was confirmed to be a fast one, if katelyn tuohy hadnt shown everyone her 4:06 then nichols would probably still run 10000m but nopes, katelyn now has developed a strong kick, abby nichols respects that and is not underestimating the sophomore .
a 15:14 and 15:15 runners going head to head in an all-out race will be so epic to see
lol with the "no respect Roe" is that her name now?
