Will Koko really run this time? I remember Koko scratched in Millrose Games 3k. I believed is she was there, Tuohy would've beaten her too. Watch Koko's 3k race and you'll see why.

Koko ran the 8:34 in Dortmund a week after Milrose, jogged a lap of honor, greeting friends and family and enjoying herself at her birthday. In the post race interview they are discussing that she had just returned from four weeks of training in Kenia... Full video here:
An ihrem 26. Geburtstag hat sich Konstanze Klosterhalfen bei der deutschen Hallenmeisterschaft der Leichtathlaten über 3000 Meter den Titel gesichert. Am Ende lief sie nur zwei Sekunden langsamer als bei ihrem eigenen deutsch...
I hope they race, but it is not clear since Koko is also scheduled in the 800m 1 hour before
It would certainly be disappointing if Koko avoids the race with Tuohy. If she does follow through I believe a PR for Tuohy is much more likely. They seem to both be very highly competitive women who strive for excellence.

one would think there is a good reason NC St switched from the UVA meet to WF. They could have gotten a teammate to pace Tuohy thru 800 at UVA. They must know this should be more than just a paced 800.
Something odd happened here, Vin was working to make the UVA meet like a Stanford meet. Strong fields, lead meet on schedule, pros, east coast media attention and...crickets, his own acc schools pull out for little meet at Wake. Hhhhmmmm...
Someone of her caliber (one of the top female distance racers in the world) wouldn’t make a trip to the US, in what amounts to a relatively minor meet, to just pace a race, even if she doubles in the 800.
