BAA 5k: Who Can Hang With Huddle, Lalang?
BAA 5k: Who Can Hang With Huddle, Lalang?
FloTrack's preview of the 2015 BAA Invitational Mile/5k:
Chris O'Hare before the 2015 BAA Mile:
UPDATE: Olympic silver medalist Dejen Gebremeskel is a late entry into the mile field. Gebremeskel has run 12:46 over 5,000m, and certainly presents a challenge for O'Hare on Saturday.
Her 4:27.94 PB is the best in this field, however Ethiopian Dawit Seayum has a listed 1500m best of 3:59.53. We’re not sold on Seayum based on that, however, as the 18-year-old has no other past results to speak of. Is she legit? We’ll just have to wait and see.
Ben True discusses his difficulty adjusting to altitude training before the BAA 5k:
Kenyan Philip Langat is the other name to watch on Saturday. Langat was only seventh at Cherry Blossom last weekend, behind Americans Jacob Riley and Girma Mecheso, however he may still be recovering from his 12th place at World XC just three weeks ago. The 24-year-old has a half marathon PB of 61:05.
Molly Huddle talks about her unbelievable 2014 season before the 2015 BAA 5k:
Huddle returns to Boston as the defending 5k champ after beating a strong group of East African women in 2014. She’ll face a similarly strong field this Saturday.
