Honestly maybe tuohy running the 5K isn't a bad idea.... She'll only have to run a 1550ish prelim and then obviously all out in the finals as opposed to four heats of the 1500... Granted those would probably be fairly easy until the final but still it's 4 days of running... All in all it might actually be an easier path to a title...
Guys nau , Alabama, Arkansas, Notre Dame will battle... I like the nau boys!
women's
800m - mcdonald
1500m - degenero
3000s - mccabe
5000m - tuohy
10000m - chelangat
men's
800m - zahafi
1500m - kipsang
3000s - hamilton
5000m - young
10000m - nur
I think these are all pretty solid though I am leaning to Imogen Barret in 800. I also like Fay or Robinson in the 5000 - both have pretty solid kicks. Young and Jacobs need to drive the pace hard and hope.

Heading into last night, I wasn’t sure if Nur scratched 1500 and/or 5000 because he wasn’t feeling 100% - those concerns were unnecessary. I can’t imagine Nur not winning in two weeks, but I suppose I’ve seen crazier things happen.
