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.

A good act does not wash out the bad, nor a bad act the good
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
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.
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.
