NOP invades BU--Records?

Translated, the title of this post would be---Galen Rupp, Treniere Moser, Jordan Hasay, Cam Levins, Shannon Rowbury, Matthew Centrowitz, and Mary Cain of the Nike Oregon Project (NOP) will be racing at meets on Boston University's track---site of Rupp's 3:50.92 mile earlier this year--in January and February of 2014!

Here's the scheduled appearances (so far), with record and DDD placing possibilities:

January 16
5000       Rupp, Levins
2 mile      Rowbury, Hasay
1000       Cain, Moser

January 24-25
1 mile      Rowbury, Cain, Hasay, Moser
2 mile      Rupp

February 8
1 mile      Rupp

As of now, no announcement of what Centrowitz will run has been released.
Okay, now for the numbers--event by event, race by race!

Jan 16--5000
American Record       13:07.00     Lopez Lomong    2013
Age 27 Record          13:09.37     PK Koech           2009  (Rupp will be 27!)
Age 24 Record          13:11.44     Galen Rupp          2011  (Levins will be 24!)
Rupp is currently tied for 19th on the World DDD with his 13:11.44.
He is also # 3 on the US DDD.

Jan 16--2 mile
American Record      9:23.38        Regina Jacobs     2002
Age 29 Record         9:45.99        Brenda Webb      1984  (Rowbury will be 29!)
Age 22 Record         9:31.7          Jan Merrill           1979   (Hasay will be 22!)
Neither Rowbury or Hasay are on the World DDD.
Sheila Reid's 9:37.97 from the Boston race this year is currently in 24th place on the World DDD.
Neither Rowbury or Hasay are on the USA DDD list,
It only takes a 9:51.41 to make the USA DDD list.
I assume enroute times will be taken at 3000 meters.
Rowbury's 8:47.18 from 2010 is currently 10th on the USA 3000 DDD
Hasay isn't on the list.
(Remember---NO marks made on OT's are acceptable!)
The 2 Age Records (22 and 29) for the 3000 are too fast, so for now, I won't even list them.  Hasay and Rowbury have almost zero chance of breaking them!

Jan 16--1000
Neither Moser or Cain are on the World or US DDD lists!
24th on the World list is a 2:35.88.
24th on the US list is a 2:43.44.
High School Record       2:43.40        Sarah Bowman (Brown)   2005
12th Grade Record        same
Cain's 1000 PR is her 2:47.29 from 2012, which currently is # 6 on the A-T HS list!
As far as I know, Cain's Sophomore Class Record is also the World Age 17 (or younger) Record!
(Bowman-Brown's HSR is, again. as far as I can tell, the World Age 18 Record!)
Age 32 Record           Toomey      2:34.19   2004  (Moser will be 32 then!)

Jan 24-25--1 mile
HSR                 Mary Cain's 4:28.25 from 2013.
Age 17             Cain's 4:28.25
Age 22             Dulecha's 4:23.33 from 2001   (Hasay will be 22.)
Age 29             Artyemova's 4:24.98 from 1992.  (Rowbury will be 29.)
Age 32             Melinte's 4:25.46 from 1989.  (Moser will be 32.  Note: The following year, Melinte ran the
WR of 4:17.14!!!)
The American Record is Mary Slaney's 4:20.5 from 1982.
Only Cain (# 6) and Moser (# 15) make the US DDD list.
None of the 4 make the World DDD.  24th on that list is a 4:27.18.
24th on the World 1500 DDD is 4:03.53.
24th on the US 1500 DDD is 4:11.51.
Rowbury (# 5) and Moser (# 6) are currently on the US 1500 DDD list.
Cain's 4:11.72 just misses, probably in 25th or 26th place.

Jan 24-25---2 mile
The World Record is 8:04.35!
Rupp has a fair shot at that mark!!
The American Record is Lagat's 8:09.49 from this year!
The Age 27 Record is Eliud Kipchoge's 8:07.39 from 2012.
Kipchoge also has the Age 27 3000 Record--7:32,03 from 2012.
Can Galen get ALL of them??

February 8--1 mile
Rupp, of course, ran that 3:50.92 last winter.
Can he top that?
Rupp's time is the Age 26 Record.
Coghlan has the Age 27 mile record, his 3:52.9 from 1980.
The Age 27 1500 mark is 3:35.46.
Same question as above!!

As I said, I don't know at this time what Centrowitz is going to run!

Looks like the 2014 Indoor Season is about to get H-O-T!!!!!
