Live Now - Official 2024 Track Fest at Oxy Live Discussion Thread

Nice! Henes and D'Amato going for another 10k. Will we see Schweizer join them? Where is Rogers?

Re Tuohy. Coburn tore her hamstring last summer and is just now coming back. I wonder if we see Tuohy before the trials at all.

And now, with Sifan Hassan helping her along:

You guys just don't get it. She has become the new Webb is back. She is more interested in eating granola and decorating her house.

*rolling eyes*

When she comes back, she’ll be firing on all cylinders. Tuohy isn’t the type of a person to come back (especially now as a pro), to run a sub-par “rust-buster” kind of event.

She’ll come back (HOPEFULLY in this meet, or SOON), and run an Olympic qualifying time.

why would anyone root against one of our most talented runners and prep stars of all time

Nobody would root against her.

Well, you did choose a not-very-nice fake username, and you did make a not very nice comment on her chances, along with plenty of snark about things that have nothing to do with running and which you probably made up or exaggerated.

So, forgive those among us who think you sound like you’re rooting against. Be better, please.

I always root for EVERYBODY to get New Personal Best's

I am rooting for her to start racing and run a.personal best.

Men's 5k was looking rather nondescript.

Until today's addition of Luis Grijalva.

Oh yay, maybe he'll run another 3:41 or equivalent. Can't wait!

No longer. . . Cranny very quietly removed from Sound Running's Track Fest 5k entry list with no mention on SR's or Cranny's social media . . . even Tracklandia (PPV stream) is still promoting Cranny in its 5k writeup:

I got excited about this meet tonight and felt like it certainly deserved a preview as it's kind of a mini Olympic Trials for the women's 10,000 plus it has Hassan and is a preview of the men's Olympic Trials in the steeple.

2024 Track Fest: Sifan Hassan, Loaded Men's Steeple and Women's 10,000 Highlight Saturday Night's Meet

LetsRun.com

Double Olympic champ Sifan Hassan will return to the track for the first time since last year's Worlds and the men's steeple is LOADED with US talent, but the most important race of the night is the women's 10,000 where a bun...

Thx for preview.

Have purchased my PPV stream.

Note: Luis Grijalva is also entered in section 2 of the 1500 earlier in the evening, so likely running both races for workout purposes as he did at Bryan Clay a few weeks back.

Emily Venters entered under BTC…

But as stated in another thread, this is a mistake as all Nike UAC athletes were entered as Nike BTC.

Venters is still with UAC.

D'Amato apparently isn't running the 10,000. She ran 16 miles this morning in Richmond.

Yes, no longer on the start list.

Maybe racing this mysterious 10k race at Pre where Tsegay is going for the WR, is currently the only entrant, but with talk the Kenyan 10k women's Oly Trials will be at Pre?

Elite racing is off and running.
