I love seeing Heather MacLean taking control like that. She has been overshadowed by Elle, for good reason for the most part, but very consistently getting better and better.
I’d give a lot to see Ribich stick with the 5k for a while. I think that’s certainly his event, but I highly doubt the Beasts can supply him with good training for that event. I’d love to see him grind some very high mileage and then put that speed to good use.
When BTC posted a video on Instagram 8 HOURS ago with their athletes competing today, she wasn’t included. So they’ve known she was planning to scratch and had no intention to race this event for awhile. Makes me mad to see all these DNS at the start of the championships , taking spots from other deserving and qualifying athletes. The champs just started so it’s not like you made it in another event and need to bow out of this one because you’ve earned your ticket
If Hiltz didn't have splits, it's because they were forced into running out in lane 9 - I don't think there are sensors out there. Pretty slow heat though so managed to move on

I don't get the second heat at all. They knew the first heat was relatively fast and that they needed at leat a 4:10 to advance. So Degenero and Aragon let the pros set a super slow pace and 4:16. Why even make the trip?
