Missed opportunity for a top tier head-to-head in the W 3000SC. Kosgei set to throw down an early marker in the steeple. Hallady-Lowry entered in the 5. We'll have to wait a few weeks to see if Baloga can match fellow soph Napoleon's 9:34.
In the W 10000, will Noe have anyone to run with besides Thorvaldson?
Good mix of guys in the 10 for some quality racing.
How does Stanford get away with Not posting heats until the day before the meet starts? Literally 5k runners could be racing in the morning on Friday or at night. They won't know until Thursday.

My guess is that the meet director(s) will let the coaches know how the seeding is going to work and depending on where their athletes are expected to be seeded and what heat that will be will give the coaches an idea of the time of the heats. The coaches will know before the heats are posted.

I agree with this!
Add to this that they closed entry registration for this meet on 3/20. This was day before all of the meets that weekend and more than two weeks ahead of their meet.
On top of that they completely play favorites and only favored schools get their athletes in while other deserving athletes from non-favored schools don't get in even if they have quality times.
That aside it is amazing that they can't get their heat sheets out on Wednesday. Accepted entries were available on 3/26!

Maybe some coaches but definitely not all. I can attest to this.
