There are two rounds of the 1500 at the Regional meets. First round of the 1500 at 6:30 pm and 10,000 at 9:10 pm on Day 1. On Day 3 the 2nd round of the 1500 is scheduled for 5:15 pm and the 5000 for 8:10pm.
3 if advance in 1500 cruise 5k, if don't advance race 5k
it's only the added strain of the 1500 added in to the post 10k recovery day.
What makes it odd, surprising, questionable, but maybe not crazy is she is seed #19 based on 96 declarations in 1500, while she is #1 in 5K (exlcuding the 15:03 non qualifier) and #3 in 10K.

Yes. And doing this triple *is* crazy unless her coaches know something we don't about her 1500m speed. Her PR is 4:12 altitude converted from 4:17. At the championships even if she advances her chances are low to make the final and she will have fresh competitors in all 3 events. Venters, Mazza Downie are likely very happy with this decision.

I never said I recommended this triple, just for a strong distance runner, it's possible, think Ches, Rupp. 1 meet at a time.

Regional
Day1: 1500 4:20 q, 10000 33:00 q
Day 3: 15000 4:14 q, 5000 15:55 q
2 weeks recovery and on to the hard part.
Whatyou say about the regional is reasonable but the hard part gets real hard. Day1: 1500 4:12 q, 10000 32:00 effort unless they becom sit and kicks which the Tuohy 1500 heat won't (14 4:11 and faster runners including Plourde and Tuohy) Day 3: 15000 4:12 might not place, 5000 15:35 might place with Valby, Tuohy and a bunch of 15:30-40 runners fresh (no heat adjustment)
But why even attempt such a feat when she could have a legitimate chance at winning ncaa 10k on fresh legs?
In Austin - I predict 10k podium, 5k scorer, and not advancing out of 1500 heats (and possibly not even advancing rounds if the west final is a sit and kick)
