Your lack of focus on Weini Kelati in the article is surprising. Shes in remarkable form currently and using the conversion calculator you used for Tsigie Gebreselama, her American half marathon record converts to 30:00 or just slightly under. She could very well decide to take a shot at the American record but at the very least expect her to be someone who gets the autoqualifier. Monson didn't seem too happy about her 2 mile time a month ago so unless it was an off race or in heavy training, she might be taking on too much with the pace.
Yeah Kelati should get the standard with some ease if things have gone well since USA XC. Ultimately she *could* run with the top 2 here as she adjusts to higher mileage, but it feels that might be an unnecessary risk here.
