I have to agree…Valby seems to start at a good pace (4:40 mile pace) and fade after that. KT ends with a negative split and ends with a 60 second final 400. If she could close in under 60 she might close the gap with the better pro’s. Valby needs speed training to be more competitive.
Announcer said 8:50 was her target. Pacer was at 4:42 for the 1600m. Within 2secs over 3000m is a fade?
Valby ran even splits pretty much. 35.60,35.95 show tiny slow down final lap but basically even.
Re kick, Mackay & Costein blasted a 30.98, 30.03. Sub 31 for a close is what I would like to see Tuohy get to. Have not seen that yet in her splits so don't know if she has it, but she will need it to beat pros.
Costein is a steepler, the other NCAA steeplers (Mitchell, Mccabe and Markezich) can close that fast as well.

I’d be curious to see Mackay in a steeplechase. She’s pretty tall and looks very athletic, seems like she’d handle the barriers well. The best steeplers tend to start out as 1500 runners.

After that time yesterday I am wondering what her event is? I thought she was a 1500m runner / miler.
Sinclair Johnson interviewed that she is supposed to run a 3k next, that 1500m runners need to have fast 3k/5k times too.... I wonder if we will see more crossover.
She cut in an entire half lap too early from the outside stagger at the start. Re-watch the race. She started on the outside, and cut in and blended in with the inside pack on the back straight. She was supposed to stay in lane 4 outside the cones until the home straight at the end of the first lap. 100% should have been DQ'ed!

Absolutely should be disqualified. She only ran about 2990 meters.

Ugh I feel bad for Valby for all the heat she is taking for this race. Olemomoi still would have won but they would be about 2 seconds closer if she had run the full distance.
