Who makes up US 5000m Team?

The same 3 who made the 10k. They’re way better than everyone else.

Nico, Grant, and Blanks

Cranny, Shelby, and Andrews

Would give anything to see Norris lose it. Her and Ritz’s head are literally to big at this point

Would give anything to see Norris get popped like Shelbo

Shelby ftw (seriously)

I'm not picking Blanks. I think it'll be Wolfe, but I think Gilman/Hunter might actually be right there. Expecting Grant to bounce back weirdly, and then Blanks to get passed late by one of the dark horses.

Any other takes different than the Kessler-Nuguse-Hocker and Fisher-Nico-Blanks until kingdom come? There’s a lot of other guys ready. Boomers are going to be raging Langon somehow makes the team.

Please stop your butt-headed ageism.

Ok I think the safe pick is the same as the 10k team, but I will note that I haven’t seen anyone say that maybe Hocker said it was the easiest race of the season while finishing 3rd bc he felt great but was saving his legs for the 5k. He’s got 7:23 3k strength, so if it starts out slow (the 10k was crawling), he may be a factor. Idk in a 13:15 race he might crush

COOPER MF TEARE

I think Alicia monson might shock👀 sure her times this year have not impressed, but I think she’s had time to get back in shape coming off injury.

Why is heather listed as DNS??

Grant, Nico, Cole

Josette, Taylor, and I’ll say Katelyn Tuohy because I want to see this message board explode

Blanks finished 1.5 seconds behind Young in the 10000m, but you have Hocker squeezing in for the last spot in today’s 5000m. I believe Hocker will be dropped before the kicking starts, but if he’s close enough to beat Blanks he’ll undoubtedly win the race.

That's strange. I don't think she had a shot at making the team, especially with fresh legs Andrews, Houlihan, and Hertenstein in the race, along with Cranny, Mackay, Roe, etc., but after missing the 1500 team this is her only shot.

Wolfe does not have standard.

He can blame his coach for that

He ran a 3000 in 7:30 in December instead of going for the standard

If that scenario happened and one of the guys with the standard finished 4th I would be the exact same situation as last year.

Not Langon - he just announced his scratch due to illness via Instagram story for all those not aware.

I think it's Nico, Fisher, Blanks, but if it's slow, a part of me likes Teare due to the fresh legs.

However, picking Teare does kinda feel like the yearly Kyle Pitts "this is his year" fanasty trap

If you think it’s going to be hard to make the team this year, imagine how hard it will be at the Olympic trials when half or more of the today’s milers move up the 5000.
