Sol 26:48
Another sub-27 from Solinsky would be amazing and exciting. I just don't see it happening. Last year was the perfect storm - Rupp had everything set up for the attempt, and Chris rode the train.
I think we'll see something more conservative this year - say 27:20... fast enough to get the standards, but nothing earth shattering.
1. jordan hasay goes sub 4:10 in the 1500 for the first time.
2. chris solinsky thinking he has no competition in the race is outkicked by 8:01 steepler bob tahri, solinsky runs 27:23 which winds up 1 second behind tahri, solinsky is shocked and ask's his coach have you ever heard of that guy schumaker says no, they start asking everyone, finally they ask's a steepler who knows, to which solinsky says but i thought steeplers were just rejects who could not run on the flat.
not when they are an 8:01 steepler.
3. race of the night winds up being the womens 10k and 5 women shalane flanagan, sally kipyego, lineth chepkirui and molly huddle all break 31 with flanagan winning in 30:28, kipyego 30:29, chepkirui 30:31, fukushi 30:39 new japanese record and molly huddle 30:50
