10K Olympic Trials anyone?

Did anyone catch the 10K last night? Two of my friends from college raced--Amy Hastings who got 4th in the marathon and didn't make that team won--I was dying for her! I'm so proud of them both.

I couldn't watch, but I was following live coverage on my phone. So exciting for Hastings, Ritz, and everyone who made the team of course. I told my husband this is my "March Madness" season; I love following T&F.

Now I'm curious... who are the girls that raced that you went to college with? Hope they had good races too.

I'm glad Dathan made the team too...I'm glad he made the A standard. It would totally suck to have gotten into the top 3 but still not make it. The girl who got third in the 10K only had the B standard so it bumped down to like the 5th girl.

Also--one annoying thing..I'm sorry but WHY was Shalane even running? She has openly said she won't run the 10K. So she ran, and got second--making the team--and saying she won't go in that event.


Did Rupp done his mask?
I didn't watch their race..I was at the movies.

Amy and Alvina Begay. Alvina got 5th place at the US half marathon trials a week before a pr'd with a 1:12.

Another girl from our team is running in the steeple on Monday.
So are a bunch of guys (they are a couple years behind me though--or in events like shot put--but still..I gotta support my team!)

I recorded it. And need to tune in right now!

eta: I would give REAL MONEY for those conditions here right now.
