    re: kitty

    Fasil and Cabada should be in the first heat, as well as Andrew Carlson.... As mentioned, Cabada is an American record holder... that should get him some respect, no matter what shape he is in.... And Fasil has consistently finished in the top 5 at National Championships this year (15K, 8K)....Andrew Carlson is on Fire this year... 15k National Champ and a close second in the 8K... If the meet did there homework, they would no who is legit and who is isn't.

    but I think the second heat will work out for these guys.. There is plenty of comp, with Ed Torres, Rodriguez, Driscoll.... I agree with an earlier post, these guys can run there own race, relaxed 14:00-14:15 through the first 5k and then open it up... probably be best for all these guys... in the first heat, Abdi and Mottram will be out in 13:40-50 and the pack will be in pursuit... so guys who are capable of running 28 low, will die to run 29 and change. The top 3-5 guys from heat 2 will probably be in the top 10 times of the night

    Everyone flys across the country to run in slow heats at stanford when they could put together a meet somewhere in the east.

    If you are more worried about watching the rest of the meet you are not there for the right reason anyways.

    How does Univ. of Portland John Moore (28:10) get into second heat and teammate Mike Kilburg (28:28) get into the first heat of the 10000? Crazy.

    if he ran 13:44 then he deserves to be in the second heat. now if he did it in trainers, yes, that would be something totally different.

    He is the F-ing American record holder! He should be in the first heat. Stanford seems like the place to be this year, but if the keep F-ing people over the runners will find other places to race!

    yes, and i'm the american record holder for skippiing backwards jugglin bowling pins. what's your point again? until he runs 13:30, he doesn't NEED to be in the fast heat as it will be very doable to run 28flat OR BETTER from the second heat. he will not go any faster than that at the most optomistic projection so thus, no need to be in the first heat getting lapped like Brandon Leslie.

    Anyone know if this Stanford Inv. Meet will be webcast somewhere?

    If athletes are lieing about their qualifying marks, why don't the race organizers require proof of these times by making athlete provide a website address that confirms his/her qualifying time. If the time can't be confirmed, the athlete isn't entered (or placed in slowest heat). Some other big meets, even on high school level, do this.

    what about Collis Birmingham in the second heat, no way! Didn't he win Mt Sac in 13.21?

    Are you insane? I don't know if it's possible to find better weather for distance running than Stanford at night. If there are better conditions, it sure isn't in NYC.

    re: straighten me out

    Check your facts next time genius.

    Moen has run 13:53 for 5k and 28:40 for 10k...doubtful he lied. He is more than deserving to be in the second heat.
