At the Top Schools like Oregon, Colorado etc. Probably OVER 50% But the problem is they would run with the Men and Fall apart and they Might run slower Than Tigist Assefa (That is what you are really asking right?) Like Hared Ward Barely beat Assefa last night, by outsprinting her but he likely ran with the 2:05 runners and fell apart, If he had just said My goal is to just run with the lead Women it would have been very easy for him and he would never feel like he is falling off the Pace., If lets ay The University Of Oregon said for Todays Workout we will run the Berlin Marathon, But run with the Lead Women and NO FASTER Probably all in the top 7 could do it. But the Mindset is Run and if you see a Women with you, you are not running hard enough so they might be in 2:07-2:09 Shape, but they try to run 2:04-2:05 pace and they fall apart and run around 2:20
Not worder the best I know my Writing sucks, but runners know what I mean,
No Tigist Assefa, Gudaf Tsegay, Sifan Hassan, Faith Kipyegon as good as they are could NOT make Top 7 on The Men's Cross Country team at Stanford, Oregon, Colorado or any of the XC Powers

You think the top 7 runners on the Oregon men’s XC team could go out and run a 2:11:53 marathon with no advance notice? That is lunacy.
LOL!!!!! This site is full of trolls, site shills for hits or some runners that aren't very bright. None of them would be able to just go out and run 2:11:59 or faster in the next week or two. NOT happening.

You do not know this. I bet Conner Mantz could run 2:11:59 when he was in college. Many others could have. Especially in today’s shoes. Educate yourself.

Went out with the 2:05 guys?? What the hell are you talking about? He went out in like 65:30, for Chrissake.

LOL!!!! Try that advice on yourself (educate yourself) and re-read your post.
"Like in the next week or two?" Connor Mantz is excluded from your post so that is an unknown, aka you'll never know as he doesn't apply to your post...he's NOT in College anymore dumb dumb.
Name me the runners today who you think can run a sub 2:12 in the next week or two. I won't hold my breath dumb dumb.

Anyone who can break 28:30 has a chance in today’s shoes. Probably about 1/8 of them could do it.

I don't know how many of the college guys could run a decent 'thon right now.
What's pretty damn clear is that *none* of our freaking 'elites' can.
ONE guy breaks 2:12 --*with* freaking super-shoes, on a conducive day, at the fastest race in the world??
Are you kidding me???
I mean, alright, Mantz could've done better, and *maybe* Rupp could --though it seems like he's probably finally past it now, but who else is there that gives any reason for any optimism at all right now?
If this had been the Trials yesterday, and all our best had been running, how many would've broken 2:10? How many 2:08?
We had guys running sub-2:10 almost fifty freaking years ago, for God's sake.
With fifty years of evolution (in which the rest of the world's gotten 4, 5, 6, 7 minutes faster), and shoes that literal take two minutes off, our guys are worse now than they were then.
My heart goes out to Shorter, and Rodgers, and yes even Alberto, who must just wanna puke their guts out when they look at this scene, in which the *best* American at the fastest race in the world *barely* breaks 2:12 --and *barely* beats the best chick.
I feel like we should just take the US men's marathon scene out behind the barn at this point, and put it out of its misery. (Okay, give Mantz a pass, but that's about it.)
Are you saying that if I have run a 28:00 10000m that I can’t break 50 for 10 miles until I do it?
Yes because you haven’t done it yet. Can’t call yourself a sun 50 min 10 milers til you do it. Just like being a sub 2:12 marathoner
Intelligence wasn’t given to everyone. 28:00 10000m runners can do sub 50 for 10 miles on a very hard training run. They don’t need to do it in a race.
OK so you think the answer is ZERO. Some of you advertise your ignorance. The super shoes are worth maybe 2 minutes on average in a marathon? So maybe it would have been like breaking 2:14 a few years ago. There have always been a few NCAA guys who could do that.
