Jordan Hasay, Kyle Merber & Gabe Proctor Win Gold At NACAC U-23 Champs in Mexico

YAY HASAY!!!!!

Thank you!!!

Gabe Proctor was coached in high school by Jeff Johnson.

Go Jordan! Now get some rest.

no seat of the pants feel for this stuff guessing from the seeding times at about 7,000 feet

subtract 6 or 7 sec to sealevel for 1500 & minute for 10000?

At nearly 8,000 it's two minutes. So I'm guessing it's a bit more than a minute (per ncaa).

Nice win for Merber in the last 100. I thought he was toast after looking terrible at NCAAs and the Trials, but he rested up and ran well.

Same for Hasay - she was clearly the class of the field and cruised to a comfortable win wire to wire. Interesting to note that the second place finisher, Annie LeBlanc, is Oregon's biggest recruit for next year. She's a Canadian who has run 2:03 and 4:15 I believe, and will be Jordan's teammate in the fall.

What is this meet? You get a USA uniform for this...

Yes, that showed this race was roughly pr shape for Hasay beating the recent 4:15.9 runner by nearly 3 secs, and this other girl has speed. She went 2:03 last year and wouldn't be surprised to see her go 2:02 if she gives it a go. Nothing shocking for Hasay but a good effort. Hope to see her take a few cracks at 4:10 this year in the right races.

Hasay is done for the year, which is the right decision. She's looked seriously overtrained and needs to get a few weeks of rest before building up for XC. And she needs to incorporate more recovery into her training to get that pop back in her legs.

Agree. Maybe Jordan "over did it" this year with all the "olympic hype" and continual pressure. She just needs to calm down and take one day at a time.

If you look back on her accomplishments since the age of 12 through age 20 including yesterday's Gold Medal at the NACAC U-23,........her accomplishments are simply unbelievable. WOW.

Whilst jordan is winning at this sub-par meet, her competitiors are resting before xc. So hasay once again will be overtrained before NCAAs

oh yeaa one week after the trials and she'll be over trained for the the WHOLE rest of next year... no.

where are the steeplechase results????

Andy Bayer also won the 5K.

It is early July. Jordan just ran a 1500 meter race, and this is somehow going to make her overtrained for XC in the Fall??? LR posters never cease to amaze with their stupidity.

Yo short stack,

A lot of knowledgeable insightive and thoughtful followers of the sport post here too.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder- disreguard the chaff and center on the meaningful comments. A good idea in the real wotld as well as on the interwebs.

Competing at the world level for any college athelte is nearly impossible and quite challenging. After running collegiate Cross Country, then Indoors, then Outdoors, in addition to the workload involved in keeping up with academics etc. etc, these athletes are simply exhausted by the time the season ends, (which by the way the season(s) never do end).

Jordan Hasay, Chris Derrick and a few others at the college elite level have been running non-stop (many of them) for you letsrun fans for more than six straight years now (and some running many more years than that) beginning with their high school careers. All this without injury.

Think about that. That's insane! What incredible athletes. Watch as their times improve once they have some rest and relaxation and the opportunity to pick and choose their own races, such as the freedom the professionals are afforded.

where are day 2 results?

hate to say it, but it's going to catch up with them at some point. Happened to me... you can only push your body so much for that long and get away with it. If only I knew then what I know now...
