Congratulations to Nicole Blood (gold) & Elliott Heath (silver) on their superb performances in Brazil! A big congrats to Scott Roth & Nick Robinson on their gold medal performances as well & to all of the exceptional athletes representing our country...GO USA! Be safe.
Look at the times....the competition was not that good. 30 seconds b/w second and third place?
Too bad Jordan Hasay was not in the race. She would have dusted Blood.

I hope you're not as stupid as you sound. It really is too bad that Hasay was not in the race because that most certainly would have brought faster times for both. But she opted for the 1500 at jrs anyway. In any event, I wouldn't consider 9:22 3K a very slow time either and it was good enough and then some for the gold.
To be fair to Blood you can only race who is in the race and she beat all of those girls. Even if Jordan had been in the 3K at Jrs she probably would have opted for World Youth over Pan Ams as it appears they didn't let the athletes do both.
Still Jordan's 1500 is almost 10 seconds faster than Blood's and has never lost to Blood in XC so I'd have to give the edge to Hasay at 3K. Is Hasay doing 3K or 1500 at World Youth?
To be honest, Blood obviously didn't face very stiff comp. Was Blood ducking better comp by going to this race?
this is great news, it's her first pr in the 1500-3k distances since 2004 when she ran 924 and 442. And whoever said hasay has 10 seconds on her in the 1500 is wrong. Blood went 424 er to her 442 mile. Have to imagine she's around that right now as well...worth about a 421.
I was comparing her 4:24 (she ran some 4:25s at Oregon) to Hasay's 4:16 nearly 8 seconds difference much closer to 10 than 5. Still a PR is nice and I'd guess Blood is more of a 5K type whether she likes it or not. Although I'd have said that about Hasay as well before her 1500 at Jrs.
stop trying to put her down in order to compare her to someone else. jesus she just won a big event and all you can do is say she would have lost if someone else was in the race.. your probably some jv boy who wishes he could run as fast as her, but your 10:30 isn't quite doing it for you.. your pathetic
