NCAA Regionals - Update - We're doing the Friday 15 show live at 3:30 pm ET

I hate to burst your bubble but that last 1440 meters Lemngole ran (supposedly) at 3:47 1500m pace.

We had multiple parties come on and claim the SEC course was accurate. What are you still having a problem with? Lemngole faded that day.

Sorry I was talking about todays regional course, not SECs.

beautiful course

Doris supposedly 12:38 at 4000, 18:02 at 6000. That is a fast finish!!!

Well . . . looks like we're on our way to seeing the first sub-28 10k xc race . . . :-)

Anyone else not getting live results for South men?

She was barely ahead of her teammate, who we have a very good gauge on. What seems most relevant are the gaps. The times were markedly fast across the board.

it has been a bit shaky and just dieed after about 8 finishers

1 Hillary Cheruiyot Alabama [JR] 28:26.8
2 Victor Kiprop Alabama [JR] - 28:29.9
3 Yaseen Abdalla Tennessee [SR] 28:41.3

Fast it was, but I'm not sure what to takeaway from it. Hilda was right with her and neither seemed spent at the end. Tempo effort from Valby?

But I used the SEC result as another gage of what we are seeing. LACCTIC is another gage, and it will be interesting to see what it comes up with post-Regionals.

I did some more analysis of the numbers. Somewhere the course was definitely not accurate.

The final results show a split at 4560m. Valby's time at 4560 was 14:12.5. At that pace, her 5000 split, if they were available, would have been about 15:34.8. With her finish time of 17:59.6, she would have had to cover the last 1000 meters in about 2:24.8. Extrapolating that pace out means that Valby ran her last 1000 at a pace equivalent to a 3:53 mile.

way to go fsu. i knew they were gonna be good

Come on guys. No one needs to do any analysis to know that this course was not 6000m. Give me a break.

I had already moved beyond that. My post wrt Churchill was to dig deeper into what the results could imply.

I agree with that. Asekol was the same distance from Valby today as SECs (more or less).

Lemngole and Olemomoi were a lot closer. I recall that the current Alabama coach has his runners train hard through SEC in the past.

I don't think this was an all out effort for any of the top 3, but I am guessing nationals will be a lot closer than SECs based on today. We will probably see Valby go hard, 1 elite chase pack who will try to run her down, and then the main chase pack.
