This provisional Millrose W 2-mi list of 12 looks complete; the same number of women completed the 3000m last year. No racing for Valby this wkend, it seems.

Keep an eye on Tinoda Matsatsa in the mile. Not hard to imagine him running 3:55ish, having already run 1:46.87 & 2:18.05 and gone undefeated (4 for 4) in individual events as a college freshman.
Tuwei and Lemnegole 5k debut... that should be good. Venters also running 5k
Henes, Aragon, Tyynismaa in mile (Tyy and Bush also in 3k).
I kinda hope Henes is pacing, rather than ripping a solo 8:30--great for her, but the flotrack camera coverage will likely miss some good racing in the chase pack.
Curious seed times for Riggins and Scrimgeour, two women who have never run sub-9.

Idk why she would be out there pacing that field. Also, why is she not running Millrose 2 mile then instead? Maybe we should not expect 8:30.
Good catch re Riggins. They seeded her at 8:50 for the Dec invite, I think. She is on a roll though. It is not clear how many runners will be in the fast heat, but some of the times that have been listed seem ambitious.
Will Tyynismaa even make it in the top heat? She is 19th.
In any case the 3k should be really good. Not sure if anyone in this field can challenge Henes, though.
Here is a crazy thought... Could Valby's 5k CR go down?
Frerichs is supposedly in good shape right now. Rodenfels, Venters, Hasz, and several others will all be going for the standard. Lemnegole is seeded at 15:10... and Tuwei (though only seeded at 15:30) runs around 31:xx consistently on the roads 10k.
