Oxy Meet: winners and losers

Hunter 3:38 - not that the 5K world is wide open, but still.

Why is nobody mentioning Lauren Paquette's 15:14? Season debut, tied her PR from 2016. 4th at USA's last year. She's got a legitimate shot at the 5000m team for Doha.

The Fans: Expected a decent meet but a lot of lackluster results. 4:07 was the winning women's 1500? almost No one got their 2020 qualifier

Other Winners:

Hiltz

Hurta

Bruce

Bergland

Erassa

Wynne

Other Losers:

Southerland

Noelle

Cabral

Dunbar

Winners:

Kerr- with this new strength, might we see 3:32?

Lawi- is the 13:01 college guy back?

Fleet- definitely a step in the right direction

Freirichs- what a finish

Schweizer- see above

Schneider- will make the team

Praught- who saw this 3 years ago? Wow!

Coburn- props on pacing

Murphy- easy win in 800

Engels- great finish. Left it late.

Losers:

Farrell- wtf, man?

O'Hare- cmon, dude.

Willis- cracks starting to show

Murphy- destroyed in 1500. Time for some distance runs

Additions? Subtraction?

Coburn is fit. Her pacing + post race workout was awesome.

Curious as to why Engels didn't run the 15?

Neale, Amy-Eloise Rebook Boston TC 4:09.31

Neale is one of the most determined long-term athletes I have ever seen over the years. Having a phenomenal pro debut season.

The new surface of Oxy's track is really soft. worried times will be slower

Yes, well done Lauren! Always enjoy watching her run.

Hope she can make the team - that would be a triumph for perseverance!

Stomped on 1500 and 5k? That’s a winner?

Hunter won’t make a US team... ever

Schweizer didn't win the 1500, Nikki Hiltz did, with a PR and the fastest last 400.

Its clear Hunter, Parsons, and the goose are on another level compared to the rest of the ream. However, that level is still top of their respective nations (if they choose the right competition). None of them are international factors yet.

Schneider and the APL getting the standard was awesome. Most other athletes that went for it in their event, if they didn’t i’m Gonna have to take the zero sum game approach and say loss :/

If Craig Engels can translate his 800 speed to the 15/mile, watch TF out.

Josh Kerr was encouraging too.

Upset but i’m Not surprised by performances from Leer Willis O hare and Farrell. Sad to say they are respectively past their prime, bit long distance guys, and just not gonna pan out.

I find this meet and the performances the athletes produce underwhelming every year, and I don’t think it’s bad to hold it to a high standard.

For most athletes it is the opener in what is going to be a long season.

Why would you bring Ohare into this. He ran a 5000. His event is the 1500.

There are no US guys better than Ohare in the 15.

Beg to differ.

Your 2019 US 5000 team is:

1. Hunter

2. Fisher

3. Jenkins

Close but

I am a big Drew hunter fan. But there are lots of similarly ability 5000m runner right now in my opinion.

I got

1. Chelimo

2. Jenkins

3. Mead if he decides to run it.

4. Hunter/erassa

Just my thoughts
