Disapponted that the Night of 10,000s in on hiatus this year, they decided to do something about it. *MB: Kara Goucher and Des Linden To Host Save the 10,000 Track Meet at Mt Sac on May 3rd with prize money.

Cheptegei set an Olympic record of 26:43.14 as the top six all finished within a second and the top 13 all broke 27:00 -- easily the most ever in one race.

Uganda's Joshua Cheptegei has won 3 global 10,000 titles on the track but he's never won the Olympic 10,000. Can he get the job done in his final track Olympics? If not, is Jacob Kiplimo the new king or will it be one of the Ethiopians? Does Grant Fisher have a shot? *The 1st Olympic track gold will be given out on Friday - Who you got in the m10k? Cheptegei, Kejelcha, Barega, Kiplimo, Fisher?

Kelati, who won her first US track title, is guaranteed a spot at the Olympics while Valby & Schweizer are likely to qualify via world ranking.

The first final of the 2024 US Olympic Trials features four studs -- Fisher, Young, Woody Kincaid, Paul Chelimo -- vying for three spots to Paris. *MB: Official US Olympic Trials Men's 10k thread: Jon Gault says Woody Kincaid is your winner, do you agree?.

Valby's 31:46.09 took more than 20 seconds off the previous championship record and gave her the win by 5 seconds over Alabama's Hilda Olemomoi (31:51.89).

The Eritrean freshman Samuel was one of three men to hit the ground late in the race, but picked himself up and won his first NCAA title in 28:07.82.

With just four weeks to go until the Olympic Trials, America and the world's best will descend on Eugene this weekend.

A ton of studs, including Grant Fisher, Woody Kincaid, Luis Grijalva, Abdihamid Nur, and Moh Ahmed, will be chasing the 27:00 Olympic standard. Plus Centro and Jager in the 1500.

• The TEN - Alicia Monson wants way more than the American record. Wavelight to be set at 29:37 pace
• Nico Young Is Officially Running The TEN
• 'the ten' is a silly name

Sifan Hassan was 30 meters from gold but went down after contact with Tsegay in the home straight.

The main obstacles standing between Cheptegei and a 3-peat are Olympic champ Selemon Barega and 12:40 5k man Berihu Aregawi. Can Woody Kincaid medal?

World champ/WR holder Letesenbet Gidey faces Olympic champ Sifan Hassan but both women may be underdogs to 5k world champ Gudaf Tsegay.

Kincaid and Cranny were incredible over the final 200m to win the US titles. 3rd placers Natosha Rogers & Sean McGorty don't have the standard and will have to wait to see if they're headed to Worlds.

OAC's Alicia Monson has set the AR in the 10k this year and looks ready to roll but what about Karissa Schweizer (0 races in '23) and 2-time 5k champ Cranny?

Between Grant Fisher, Paul Chelimo, Woody Kincaid, Joe Klecker, and Abdihamid Nur, there is a lot of talent in these fields which means someone very good could be left off the team.

The unheralded Utah Valley runner made it look easy the final 3 laps.

Joshua Cheptegei is back on top as the king of the 10,000m avenging his Olympic loss by outkicking 7 other guys on the final lap to get World title #2 as Grant Fisher earned the best finish ever by an American man in a Worlds 10,000.

Letesenbet Gidey now has a gold medal to go with her 2 world records as she won a super tight women's 10,000m where the top three were separated by .13. But should she have been DQd? Plus all three American women advanced in the steeple and Karsten Warholm showed he's healthy. In the 110h, Devon Allen returned to action as Grant Holloway ran fast but Daneil Roberts bombed out.

Sifan Hassan is entered but there are doubts about her fitness. Plus how will Hellen Obiri and US champ Karissa Schweizer run?

The star power for the men's 10,000 is super high and the drama will be great as the 10,000 world record holder, the half marathon world record holder, the Olympic champ, and a guy who won Pre by 15+ seconds by soloing a 12:50 will all battle, as will American Grant Fisher.
