Her Last Chance Ever: Can Hasay take Kim Mortensen's 3200 meter record?

I hope she doesn't, she is sooo smug it is positively maddening. This child needs an ego check.

I hope she does break the record. She is everything RIGHT about distance running.

She will not get close to the record.

less than optimal training(a bit of illness), no one to push her in the state final this year, and she also looks like she's growing into her woman's body, which may take some time to adjust to and ascend to a higher level with, so i doubt we'll see a sub 10 min. 3200 anytime soon.

but in a couple years we'll start seeing sub 15 min 5k times.

Sub 15 5ks?? Uhh, WHAT?

and woman's body? Uhh, WHAT? Creep.

If she doesn't get it,(and even if she does) Sveinsson will be the heiress.

Sub 15 5ks?? Uhh, WHAT?

and woman's body? Uhh, WHAT? Creep.

oops, i meant sub 16 5k

oh, and there's nuthin "creepy" about commenting on a competitive runner's transition out of adolescence--it's a credible challenge to most female runners.

I hope she does it, simply because of the negative aholes that post negative spit about almost everyone here.

She's a high school girl, for chrissakes, and the inside word is she is a nice, humble, genuine young lady. The outside word, is the same.

Don't believe the haters here.

I couldn't agree more. She's someone you can truly root for.

Actually, she's someone I can't root for. The restraining order was very specific about that.

10:10..... no competition this year plus recent illness.

She said she's in just as good shape as last year if not better.

What time is the race.

8:46 pm pacific time

I cannot wait...

"I only have 8 laps left in my Mission uniform so in that sense it seems like it's really short so that's going to make the race go by quickly. So I'll try to enjoy every lap out there," added Hasay.

Awww :)

Let's just hope she doesn't "enjoy" it so much that she decides to prolong the experience...

From trackandfield message boards:

" Jordan Hasay is said to be confident about taking a run at Mortensen's 9:48. I would not be surprised to see her run considerably faster if the weather cooperates. "

Can she do it?? Yes she can!!!!

I hope she DOES do it because everything I have read about her indicates that she is a gracious competitor and worthy of respect. That said, really who cares about 3200m? PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE make it a 3000m or 2-mile. The bastard child distances of 1600 and 3200 should be eliminated.
