Unfortunately Rachel finished 8th in the second (slower) heat of the 5000m in 15:30.00, and will not advance to the final. The other two Americans, both in the first faster heat advanced, with Karissa Schweizer running a fantastic race for 2nd (14:52.41 PB) behind Hellen Obiri of Kenya, the defending Olympic champion. Elinor Purrier was the final time qualifier for the final in 15:08.82, good for 9th in that heat.

Amos is in the first of three heats of the 1500m tomorrow morning. His heat is pretty stacked (actually all the heats are stacked) with top performers on the year Jakob Ingebritsen (NOR) 3:30.16, Samuel Tefera (ETH) 3:31.04, George Manogai (KEN) 3:31.49, and Marcin Lewandowski (POL) 3:31.95 (his first year running the 1500m after a great career in the 800m), not to mention the US's own defending Olympic champion Matthew Centrowitz, and Ryan Gregson (AUS) who has a lifetime best of 3:31.06, but hasn't performed to quite that level this year.
Good luck to Amos, this is a great opportunity for him to gain some experience ahead of next year's Olympic Games.

Sorry to see Rachel's time. I wonder if she was sick. 15:30 was a slow time for her.

And yes that is a tough heat for Amos. He will get some great experience. His time in his last race was slow, so this is a race to redeem himself.

Rachel running 15:30 is like Michael Norman running 45.94 and not making the final.

AMOS!!!!!!!!!!!
Holy cow! Amos ran an almost flawless race in the first heat of the 1500m! He got to the front six early and held his position (right behind Centrowitz) hugging the rail until the final turn. In the final straight Tefera (ETH) tied up and Amos almost got stuck, but dipped around just before the line and grabbed the sixth and final Auto-Q spot, .02 seconds ahead of Tefera (the World Indoor Champion and Record Holder)! It was a blanket finish: .28 seconds from first to eight. Amos ran 3:37.80.
The race was pretty fast for a championship prelim, so time qualifiers may be coming from this heat.
EDIT: Okay, the other two heats were also extremely fast. Tefera 3:37.82 gets in on time, but the last time qualifier was 3:37.93, meaning that Adel Mechaal of Spain who was eighth in Amos's heat in 3:37.95 did not advance. Wild.
All three Americans, Matthew Centrowitz (3rd in first heat), Ben Blankenship (3rd in second heat), and Craig Engels (5th in third heat) all automatically advanced.

Great result for Amos. Thanks for the play-by-play description for one who doesn't have NBCSN. It was wild with all those fast times.

Amos is in the second semi-final tomorrow, which seems *slightly* friendlier than the first. He has Jakob Ingebrigtsen, Lewandowski, Tefera, and Matthew Centrowitz all again, as well as Ronald Musgala (UGA) who tore up the DL circuit and has a seasonal best of 3:30.58, Ronald Kwemoi (KEN) who's run 3:33.99 this year (but a 3:28.81 lifetime best), and Abdelaati Iguider (MAR) who has been in basically every global 1500m final since he was 5th at the 2008 Olympics (including 2012 OG bronze and indoor champs gold, 2015 Worlds bronze; seasonal best 3:31.64).
Top 5 in each semi auto-qualify for the final, plus next 2 fastest times... If he runs the way he did today, I think it's possible he gets through. Nothing is impossible. I'm really hopeful for him, but am really proud of and happy for him at how he has performed already.

Sadly for Amos he did not advance to the 1500m final. He ran 3:37.74 for 11th in his semifinal, less than a second behind Britain's Jake Wightman in 7th for the final time qualifier. A great season for Amos and a fantastic experience ahead of next year's Olympic Games. I know we as a community are all really proud of his accomplishments and are looking forward to his continued growth as an athlete.

Nick Willis Been fun getting to know some of the new kids on the mile circuit this season.
Shoutout to Amos Bartelsmeyer for a perfect race in today's 1500m heat—Auto Q into the semis!. Way to bounce back from an exhausting three months chasing the qualifying standard.

Even coming in 11th, Amos slightly bettered his time in the semis from the heats. Looking forward to a 2020 campaign with all this experience. He seems to be German's best hope to make the Olympics next year.

Bartelsmeyer, who was born in Germany but went to high school in St. Louis, was delivering food for Postmates earlier this year to keep his dream of becoming a professional runner alive. After running a 3:55 mile indoors training under Washington coach Andy Powell, he attracted the interest of the Kimbia Athletics agency, who secured him a deal with Nike. And today, Bartelsmeyer, who was 9th in the NCAA 1500 for Georgetown last year, outleaned World Indoor champ Samuel Tefera of Ethiopia for the final auto spot in heat #1. Quite a year. And it’s not over yet.

Another 3rd place finish for Emily in the National 5K (road) championship:
NEW YORK — It had been 43 months, one baby, and one training group since Shannon Rowbury’s last national title, but the drought ended today as the 35-year-old held off a late charge from unsponsored Jessica Tonn to win the 2019 USATF 5K road championship as part of the Abbott Dash to the Finish Line 5K on Saturday morning. Rowbury’s time of 15:43 was one second up on Tonn’s 15:44 as the Bowerman Track Club’s Emily Infeld, racing for just the third time in the last 20 months, took third in 15:47.
