2023 Stanford Invitational - Official Discussion Thread

Bosley vs Hicks vs Ky Robinson vs Maier in the 10,000

Ive got a dog in that hunt. Can not wait for the 10k. (No shot at winning but hopefully a big pr)

I looked for Nico Young, didnt find him and stopped there...oh well.

Ceili McCabe 5k debut, looking forward to that.

Colin Sahlman is entered in the 5,000. That should be interesting.

And Ms. Roe in the 10000m.

The women's 5k looks really stacked ... Olemomoi, Chelangat, Roe, Larkin, Van Camp, Plourde debut as well. Could be pretty fast.

But no Mercy in the 10.

I missed that, exciting. Listed in the 5k too

But Skylar is, and so is Kaitlyn.

And Zophia in the 5.

edit: Zofia lol

And Natalie, too. Maybe the SReport was ‘a ploy’.

But no Young twins this year? And out of today’s MOC, as well.

Young twins ran last night at UCLA.

3:42 & 3:47

A more complete listing of top runners in W 5000 (runners who ran Indoor championships)

Chelangat, Dudek, Fetherstonaugh, Halladay-Lowry, Larkin, McCabe, Mitchell, Olemomoi, Roe, Plourde

HE Wuga from China (15:23) also listed

Also Jenna Hutchins, Lucy Jenks, Samree Dishon, Tori Herman, Calie Logue, McKenna Lee, Taryn O'Neill, Sydney Thorvaldson, Isabel Van Camp (is she healthy?)

I also see Katelynne Hart and Ericka Vanderlende of Michigan listed

In the 10,000 I see Emily Venters, Amanda Vestri and Aubrey Frentheway listed along with Roe, larkin, Dishon

In the 1500 I see Mia Barnett, Galvydyte, Goldstein, Hertenstein, Jepkirui, Plourde, Seymour, Thorner, Carley Thomas (stepping up from 800?)

At a quick glance through I counted 20+ women entered in the 5 & 10. I'm sure that there are a few more but I quit counting. There also are some men entered in both but not as many as the women. I've got to think that if an athlete runs the 5 it is doubtful that they'll also do the 10 since they're both held on Friday. I suppose that it is doable if someone runs in the first heats of the 5 which are in the morning at 8:48 & 9:27 but otherwise, I don't see it. I guess coaches enter athletes in both to give them more flexibility.

Dunno what to expect from McCabe in this race. Last season, Wayment ran 15:15 at BU, 8:50 at Millrose, 4:12 at Stanford, then 15:50 in a pro race a month before her monster 9:16 at Nats in Eugene. For McCabe, I’d call anything in the 15:15--15:45 range (or top 5 in this field) a solid outing that puts her in good stead to challenge for the 3000SC title in June. It’s gonna take a 9:2x to get it done imo and Markezich seems to be right on track.

Lots of interesting story lines in the W 5000 and M 10000. Fay is trending toward a sub-28 PB. Not sure why Asekol is missing from the W1500 list.
