Lost in the 10000 results, and not seen on camera, Jenna Hutchins blew away Sydney Thorvaldson on the last lap to get 6th, running the fastest final lap of the entire field (70.7 - Valby was 72.7).
Does anyone have updated point projections on the womens side after prelims today?

I don't, but someone posted a site yesterday on the M side so maybe there. But LSU has had a lot of problems while AR seems to be going to form, or better.
O’Sullivan’s PR is actually 4:02.15, it just wasn’t NCAA-eligible…or something. Similar to John Anderson saying that Habtom Samuel ran a PB last night—yeah, only 74 seconds off.
Late to the party...just popping in to say that, much as I hate all the shady details around Addy Wiley's rise, for the sake of correctness it annoys me when they keep saying Jenny Barringer (Simpson) is the only collegian to break 4:00. That's factually incorrect, Addy is the collegiate record holder now; Jenny is 'just' the NCAA record holder.
(Signed, another alum of an NAIA program in the same conference in Indiana as her. This alum also remembers a teammate only losing to Huntington women in a conference championship race, circa 2019. She was upset after, and our coach told her that she was the real winner. Didn't understand till years later.)
It's because she did it after the collegiate season was over, so it's not considered a collegiate record. The commentators were talking about how Maia Ramsden ran the 2nd fastest collegiate time of all-time, but there's other collegiates who have run faster out of season other than just Addy: Sophie O'Sullivan and Jessica Hull. Sophie ran 4:02.15 in the heats of the WC 1500m last year and Jessica Hull ran 4:01.80 in her Doha semi-final in 2019.

Great run by her. Hartman finished a an all American also.
Jenna has had a long rough go since her junior year in HS. Great to see her back!
I was gonna post the same thing. Early in the pandemic, I remember streaming a race where she ran a solo 5000m scholastic record. Happy she is back on track (pun intended).

Exactly correct. Technically we have two(!) 4:02 runners in this race... How fast is this going to go?
With May in the field it won't be slow, plus Flockhart put everyone on notice that she can close in 61s in a 4:06 race.

Heard while onsite Maggi Congdon split a 52 in her 4x4 leg last night. Not too shabby and bodes well for her in the 1500 finals if she can hang w the top group to the last lap.
if I were in a race and the heavy favorite was just chilling, smiling, waving to friends in the crowd, etc. i'd be so annoyed lol. its like -- i get that the pace isn't difficult for you, but do you gotta be so in our faces about it while we're out here hurting?
good on her though. i think the area where she will always struggle cross-training is leg speed/running economy (which are all intertwined). you can get basically all the aerobic element cross-training, but the running-specific muscle development and efficiency development is something that you can't replace on the ARC

I had to look it up - you are right 52.80. That is pretty fast for a 1500m runner.
