Who will win Friday night at Mt. Sac? Predictions??
Who will win Friday night at Mt. Sac? Predictions??
1. Martinez
2. Hasay
3. D'Ag
Or do you mean like who will run fastest?
Agostino if the pace is hot. If the pace is slow, Martinez.
Isn't that the same concept or are you fro Colorado or Washington?
1) Hasay- 15:09
2) Martinez- 15:09
3) D' Agostino- 15:11
It will be a close race; Hasay will barely hold on, Martinez will try to hold on after Hasay had drawn it out over the last 1k and Dag will go with Hasay w/ 1k to go, but have lactic acid build up and not have the kick
This is a close one:
Diagostino - 1525
Hasay- 1526
Martinez- 1528

B-Mart should win easily. Abby D is good, but seems to only be a 15:1x gal at best. Martinez just opened with a windy 15:24 on the roads, she should be good for at least 15:10-15:15 on the track, quite possibly sub 15.
We all know she is MUCH faster than Abby D or Hasay, and I don't think either of them have a shot at running away from Martinez. If anything I'd expect the opposite.
Did u guys not watch the Carlsbad 5k?? Hasay kinda got sh*t on. And yes pace will definitley be fast unless a wind storm comes through. Martinez and dags will not have a a problem taking it out fast brenda especially. She went out 444ish at Carlsbad. it's not like they r trying to win a championship they r all running for fast times. That being said.
It's gonna be close but I think
1 abby
2 martinez
3 idk probably not hasay
If abby improves her time from last year I don't see brenda keeping up but this will definitely be a battle.
This is a very very very close one.
Matinez- 15:21:52
Hasay- 15:21:53
Diag (or however sp?) 15:21:57

I'm surprised by this. Abby D. is a 15:11 gal, even if she improves a good bit, might be in 15:00 shape.
BMart, as you said, went out at 14:45 pace for first mile+ on a windy day at a road 5k and still ran 15:24. I really think that is good for at least 15:10 on the track with more even pacing.
There is also the fact that it was her season opener. That guarantees nothing, but it is common to improve of that, and as such I do feel there is a very legitimate chance BMart could come in here in sub 15 shape.
The other concern for D'Agostino is that she absolutely has to run away from BMart to not get out-kicked, and I really have a hard time seeing this.

Yea I feel like they will be neck and neck but I'm just giving the edge to abby because she is a 5k runner. I think people are expecting too much too soon from Brenda in the 5k. I think she will tear it up in mid distance this yr.
1. Martinez 15:30
2. D'Agostino 15:32
3. Hasay 15:38
I think it will be Hasay who will set the early pace, but it will not be aggressive. D'Agostino will take the lead with 2k to go and will set an aggressive pace but will not shake Martinez.
Jordan has improved steadily under the coaching of Salazar. Now only eight months under his tutorship, she may surprise.
martinez 15:12
d'ag 15:16
hasay 15:26

Perhaps. But she'll need to be MUCH better than how she was at Carlsbad, which was a very mediocre race for her.
Still not sure she is going to be able to kick with the other two gals though. Developing a kick good enough to deal with BMart in a manner of months would be a really surprising revelation.

That is a possibility, but it's hard not to be on the hype train with how well she has been running in the past year and this Carlsbad debut.
As long as nothing goes wrong yes it definitely seems like an incoming monster year for Martinez.

This is my guess, too.
I don't understand why so many people are predicting a huge pr for Hasay. We are talking about somebody who has had good coaching for almost a decade. Why would she suddenly dump ten or twenty seconds off of her 5000m pr?
She has the heart of a lion!
Good coaching for the past ten years? Lol! I'll be nice and not mention names.

Because she has a new coach which usually means different training.
