Ryan ran 847, 901, 1530, 436, 437... All during indoors. That's five good races! Actually that's one exceptional race and four really good races! Anyway Sammy Haze it's a different thread so I can say something I said on a different thread as perhaps there is new folks around...
look at the men's races, those whom people picked... did they do well? OBVIOUSLY NOT.
so i know most people picked katelyn, so everyone PLS TAKE IT BACK. hayward magic has been unforgiving to the crowd favorites, look at 1500m!! look at the 10k also even boling barely qualified in the 100 and harding got dq in 200... the favorites are not doing well!
only OLD people think im weird, its ok i dont care, old people spending 10+ hours online searching and conversing about white teenage runner girls is much more alarming
yikes, dont come at me for being a fangirl, i didnt come at you for being a _________
I picked everything correctly so far. I watched the meet with my sons and they were shocked at how accurate I was. I told them Kipsang would beat 1 guy in his heat. I told them Davis would win. I told them Basten would kick it in to qualify in the 1500. I told them to watch Gomez kick it in to qualify in the 800 although I said he would be 2nd. I picked Jacobs for the win. I am picking Roe so you can take that to the bank.
Sucks that NCAA Championships are shown on ESPN...which is not available outside of the US. Really not sure why they would want to limit the amount of potential viewers...seems like a terrible way to promote a sport that struggles for attention every year except for the Olympics.
Not only that, but there will probably be a lengthy commercial break right in the middle of the 5K.
Tuohy will have her hands filled with no one... She will crush the competition! Sam Bush will get second by outkicking a bunch of babes down the stretch! Guaranteed!
I have had that same thought! And if that happened, Starliper might be third. This race is hard to predict. I believe Touhy will be well prepared both mentally and physically to crush it, and she has a lot of experience destroying fields of talented runners. Now that she is fully 100% my money is on her. But I also don't think it is wise to count any of the top 8 or so main contenders out. It is going to be an awesome race!
NC State will show up. They are the hardest working team in the NCAA.
And they seem to be peaking at the right time.
I don't think Touhy was running full speed at regionals. I think she was just going for the win and pacing her team mates. She will go for it in this race. The ACC 1500 is a better indication of what she is capable of when giving a full effort. I think she is going to floor it with about a mile left.
Completely agree...I believe Tuohy will be very hungry for this win and will want to control the race. Starliper is a dark horse to medal...likely can't compete to win yet as Tuohy and Nichols seem at another level, but third is an outside possibility - although I have a hard time seeing her beating out Roe, Mercy and Valby. Starliper's improvement in the last 2 months has been impressive though.
That Coastal Carolina anchor was flying for that non-automatic spot.
nc state girls came in last in that 1500m, not a good run for both whom i thought was peaking at nationals ... kinda nervous for the other girls now 😭😭
