Sound Running/Tracklandia has made a point to note that 7 of last summer's 32 entrants in the Olympic 10k race are racing tonight. And that number does not include former Olympians Lopez Lomong and Evan Jager.
As noted above, this may be the highest quality men's 10k ever on a US track -- possibly only the Pre Classic 10k where Rupp ran his 26:44 was better. About the only significant American missing from tonight's race is Joe Klecker.
And, as noted above, tonight's fields are far more numerous than in the inaugural races last year. 2021 had 7 women finish the WC Q race plus 2 rabbits. 2021 had only 5 men finish the WC Q race plus 5 DNFs.
With the US 10k qualifier race now moved back to the end of May, best to race now with a full fall and winter training rather than waiting until the Payton Jordan in early May -- just 3 weeks before the US Q race.

Who's the blonde in 4th wearing the camoflauge bunhuggers? 😍
I'm sorry but could you be any more of a creeper? Yech.
I feel like you were talking about Dom Scott in the Adidas blue cheetah print kit (new Adidas kit is coming out, see Emily Durgin in 15k yesterday for new 2022 just released kit) but I also feel like you are weird.
Looking forward to the next Ben Rosario lecture on Stephanie Bruce and Kellyn Taylor.
You may not know this (especially if you read the @CitiusMag preview of the race) but @kellyn_taylor and @Steph_Rothstein have the 2nd and 6th fastest PBs in tonight's field at The Ten. That's it. Just a little PSA for ya.
it seems Dom Scott is running a very strong race as well if she can hold on. Her PB is in mid-31s if i remember correctly so if she holds on this could be >1 min PB.
Pretty good deal for 6-bucks: Video quality great, announcing is fine, picture-in-picture interview during the race is good, drone footage is sweet, splits given verbally & graphically is nice. The confusion over the pacing lights is weird, but Cranny is crushing it. Kudos to the broadcast production crew, appreciate you.

Agree! Credit where credit is due, I especially loved how they did the interviews
