Did anyone notice that they changed the meet around and the 10,000 is Thursday PM at 8:50 and the 5k at 6:00 Friday afternoon.
I heard that they are testing this schedule out this year. I
don't really like this change. Having the 5,000 at the end of the meet was classic. All those bodies out there giving
what they got to try to scrap some points for the team. Plus
it is nice to have a distance race there at the end when
the meet is on the line.
I just remember that with the 5k at the end of the meet everyone who was qualified was out there, people doubling back from the 10,000, steeple, 1500. Now
instead of racing the 10,000 Friday morning and then the 5k the next afternoon it is Thursday Night and the next afternoon. That cuts the down on the rest by about 12 hours. This also changes the Steeple/5k double, where you'd run the 5k the day before.
