I think Abbey is at another level.
Jordan was a great high school runner, and a damn good college runner, but she's not at Abbey's level.
Betsy is more of a 10k runner.
Fast or slower, Abbey comes out on top.
I just can't come out with a scenario where Abbey loses. Saina could beat her of course. I don't see Jordan being a factor over the last lap if she hangs up that long.
Jordan FTW!!!
Abbey D! She's got the whole package.
Hasay shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as the other two. 2/10
Emily Sisson could be in the top four as well. Abbey for the win though.

Agreed! Sisson could even sneak up for top three if one of the others falter. While I think both Hasay and Saina will challenge, Abbey D is at a different level. She'll kick to victory and win by 4+ seconds.
If anyone has seen Jordan run recently (notwithstanding her 10K disaster in Austin), she is at another level. With the hometown crowd behind her - watch out.
I want Jordan to win but I don't see happening....
Abby is just a Junior

Can you give an example? Do you mean in practice? I haven't esen anything race wise that has indiciated she's on another level. PR shape...sure. But PR shape won't get her very far with a 15:37? pr. Her 3k/10k runs this year indicate she's probably in 15:25-15:30 shape. Not enough to win unless she's got something more in the tank than what we've seen so far. Not knocking her, just acknowledging she's in PR shape, just not Ncaa championship shape (from what i've seen) compared to what we've seen from the other top girls.
Just watch the race.

Agreed.
That said, very doubtful that she can win.
Hasay as ZERO shot at breaking into the top 3 even

Hasay = Future mediocre marathoner who struggles to run under 15:45 for 5k.
Agree, it's hard to foresee a scenario where saina beats abbey. Maybe if she goes very hard from the gun, like sub-15 pace? That being said, saina is only a step behind abbey, so if abbey falters at all, saina could easily pull off the double.
As for Hasay, it's even more impossible to come up with a scenario where she wins. Some major shit would have to go down, like abbey and saina get in a fistfight in the middle of the race or something.
I don't see Abbey losing.
Saina is running on tired legs from the 10k
Jordan is not on the same level as the above two
Emily Sisson could sneak into the top 3
I'm looking forward to this one.
