After the 5k I changed my picks in the contest from 1. Kelati 2. Valby 3. Schweizer to 1. Schweizer 2. Kelati 3. Valby. And with that I may have destroyed my chances of finishing top 3 and qualifying for the Paris prediction contest.
McClain 4th again at a trials! She was my dark horse pick.
When will we learn which of these three (if not all three) will make the team on rankings?
That was intense - doesn't look like much love between Valby and Schweizer
If valby just hugged the rail like Hocker, she would’ve won.
I did a pretty quick number crunch. I don't think that Valby or Schweizer will move high enough in the quota.
results show valby 2nd but they have the exact same time
VALBY DID IT!!!
is valby/schweizer going to the olympics? they're top 3 but neither made the standard
Time for Noah and his playing cards
If I'm doing the math right: 1155 time points for Valby, plus 50 place points for 1205 total. Averaged with her race at Brian Clay that improves her ranking score to 1213, putting her at 29th on the Road to Paris list (not factoring any changes that may have happened from the other women in the race).
Wow, I take it back, Valby held her own with that finish. I mean, don't enter her in an 800 or anything, but she can kick more than I expected.

Kelati has the standard and is going for sure
Top 3 were all NCAA XC individual champs
Schweizer 2016
Kelati 2019
Valby 2023
Awesome race for Valby and Kelati. Kelati taking the lead, losing it, and then taking it back was super exciting. Seeing Valby just barely lean for 2nd was awesome after she took the race by the horns and started pushing from over a mile out. I don't know if shes in on rankings, but she absolutely deserves to be on the team.

We were all waiting for this.
VALBYMANIA intensifies
"As of Tuesday, based on the current Road to Paris List, and our own calculations after Lukan’s Euros performance (Remember: It’s a moving target!), Valby’s best shot at making the team in the 10,000m would be to get to an average of 1210 (to go ahead of Lukan’s 1209-point total). Since WA scores the average of an athlete’s two best results, and Valby’s Bryan Clay showing is worth 1221, she needs at least a 1199-point showing to get there.
She can do so by:
– Finishing 3rd at the Trials and running 31:43.72 or faster: 45 placing points + 1154 result points = 1199 performance score.
– Finishing second at the Trials and running 31:49.35 or faster: 50 placing points + 1149 result points = 1199 performance score
– Winning the Trials and running 32:00.65 or faster = 60 placing points + 1139 result points = 1199 performance score."
