What Parker Valby needs to go to the Olympics in the 10,000m?

Nice work here thanks. This also assumes that everyone on list in front of her chooses to go to Paris.

Injury or not being selected by country could also clear spots.

I thought the Trials were a "B" level meet. "National Senior Championships (Outdoor T&F/CE in Main Events, Marathon and 20km/35km Race Walking, Cross Country)"

A "B" meet's placing scores are 100, 80, 70, 60, 55, 50, 45, and 40.

does what she always does. go out hard and push the pace. shweiber and kelati most likely pace off her and pass, but if she can get some distance on henes, rogers, and others they might not be able to reel her in.

Wilkinson got 60 for 2nd and Corrigan 50 for 3rd in the steeple

Thats what I thought too, but it seems to be inconsitently applied. Here is the mens steeple

Rooks 1. 8:16.78, 1181, 70, 1251 (2023)

Wilkanson, 2. 8:23.00, 1153, 60, 1213

Corrigan, 3. 8:26.78, 1136, 50, 1186

Now look at the mens 1500, Hocker got 100 for first, Nguse got 80 for 2nd, and Kessler got 70 for 3rd. I wonder if a certain number of people have to run fast to get these higher bonus points.

10000 "B" level is 60,50,45

OMG, just when I thought the rankings could not get any more confusing. I see it now. Section 2.3.2 for the 5000 and 3000SC and section 2.3.3 for the 10000

80 degrees in Eugene this afternoon, going to be tough to run the standard. But she should go for sub 31 and the win

St Pierre got 100 points

Good point, the two on the bubble below Haruka KOKAI are

Klara LUKAN 1218 pts

Joan Chelimo MELLY 1203 pts

Valby neens 1216pts to pass Lukan. This can be achieved if she

- finishes 3rd in 31:24, (1201 pts + 45 bonus for 3rd)
- finishes 2nd in 31:30, (1166 pts + 50 bonus for 2nd)
- wins, in 31:41 (1156 pts + 60 bonus for 1st)

Valby neens 1186pts to pass Chelimo Melly. This can be achieved if she
- finishes 3rd in 31:58, (1141 pts + 45 bonus for 3rd)
- finishes 2nd in 32:04, (1136 pts + 50 bonus for 2nd)
- wins, in 32:15 (1126 pts + 60 bonus for 1st)

Since Monson is out, I think her spot is gauranteed if she passes Lukan, finishes top 3, and no new Americans obtain the standard in the race. With Monson out and if Izzo does not finish top 3, and Valby does, I think USATF can take Valby over Izzo, if Valby gets enough points to pass Chelimo Melly. This looks very doable.

Expect Great Things!!!

Classic t&f, it all comes down to Chelimo Melly. 🤔

anyone crunch the numbers? are karissa or parker making it to paris for the 10k ?

They both squeak in right at cutoff.

They both just barely passed Chelimo Melly. The problem is that contrary to what's been said above, the athletes themselves have to be eligible, and because the U.S. only has 3 qualified right now including Monson, Monson dropping out means her spot goes to Elly Henes, NOT Klara Lukan. And Izzo getting removed does nothing as 8 spots have to go to ranked XC athletes regardless. They need 2 athletes in with either the standard or ranking excluding Monson and Eilish McColgan (as her spot would go to Samantha Harrison) to drop out. Otherwise those spots will be going to Katie Izzo and Elly Henes. It's a waiting game now.

Rogers finished ahead of Izzo and seems to still be ahead of Valby and Schweizer, so if Valby and Schweizer aren’t in the quota, could it be Henes and then Rogers over Izzo?

Terrible take. You have to have BOTH sufficient ranking AND finish top three. Henes and Izzo are out.

Yes.

She indicated that she felt she had a better chance in the 10K, but I’m not so sure she prefers it to the 5K.

I think she’ll do both of given the chance. There’s 3 days off between the 5K final and the 10K. She also said her legs feel great after all of the racing she’s done recently. She should be good to go for both.
