In a weird night of racing, the women went for it, the men left it too late, and I, for one, welcome Mary Cain as our new overlord. We were originally going to have just a crack recap of the whole meet, but then Bronxville junior Mary Cain altered reality (and the laws of the fourth dimension, but more on that in a bit) and made Olympic medalists, World Champions, and national record holders totally insignificant. The Race While Susan Kuijken and her training partner Zoe Buckman looked strong with 300m to go, it was Katie Mackey and a quiet Mar...

Between guys doubling back, some guys possibly rabbiting the later stages of the race, and some guys running fresh and hoping to hang on for dear life, there are four entrants who everyone will be watching tonight in the men’s 5000m. Those four come in nice little pairs and how they’ve changed over the last year. I’m talking about the Nike Oregon Project’s Mo Farah and Dathan Ritzenhein and Team Schumacher’s Chris Solinsky and Alan Webb. Mo Farah This Time Last Year: Farah was the world 5,000m champion and the worl...

The women’s 5000m is making us a bit anxious. The morning of the 2013 USATF Oxy High Performance Meet, only three American women have the IAAF “A” standard in the 5k. Three. It’s not that we don’t think that more women aren't capable of running under 15:18.00 (they are). It’s not that we don’t think that the 5k tonight isn’t set up for this happen (it is). It’s just that as qualifying window starts to close, we can’t always rely on the U.S. Championships being a fast race or that athle...

It’s an IAAF “A” standard party and everyone’s invited. The only thing you have to do to get into this soiree is to knock on the door, let the U.S. Championship bouncer open the slot on the door, and whisper, “3:35.00.” If you try and use “3:41.20,” which is the U.S. Championships “A” standard, get ready to run from the hounds. Of the 47 entrants, only five have personal bests above the qualifier and some of them aren’t worried about competing in Des Moines, IA this summer becaus...
