So happy for her. The icing on the cake 🧁 for a stunning NCAA season. Would have made 5000m team if she hadn’t led it out but she learnt for the 10000 and now she is an Olympian!

[@kittykatkayte5061]

Hey but she will probably run since St. Pierre dropped the 5k in favor of the 1500

[@AN-cy7xm]

I figured something out. If I watch her races live and I cheer her on in a Boston accent, she always does really well. "PahKa. LFG Pahka!"

[@littlebear0845]

this might be my favorite comment ever.

[@sampoole4530]

One of the most electrifying NCAA distance athletes I’ve ever seen. Will be rooting for her to make the team & anxiously awaiting the confirmation!

[@jonb9194]

If either St. Pierre or Cranny elect to run the 1500m only in Paris, PV might end up running the 10000m / 5000m double. Considering the U.S. Team possibilities, we might be seeing a lot of Valby and Schweizer in a USA kit. Whatever happens, as an American, Parker can be on my team anytime!

[@summerlakephotog8239]

The 5k pros are super tough. For an amateur to hang with them is amazing. 10k was a better opportunity for Parker.

[@TinaReid-lf5rt]

Congratulations Parker!!! You are an inspirations for all the younger runners!!!!

[@ABxx2011]

I could see her becoming the biggest star in distance running.

[@charliemiller828]

[@tezster0]

They're speaking as though her Olympic spot is a foregone conclusion (even Parker posted on her socials she's Paris-bound). I know it's likely, but is it 100% official? Don't they need to wait for the rankings to come out, then see how many people ahead of her scratch?

[@nelsoncorchado1205]

Citius explained the math on the after trials show and she’s comfortably in on ranking thanks to getting 2nd and the time they ran - I think Karissa is borderline and won’t know. Sounds like her coach told her she’d be in if she got top 3 but no idea how everyone is tracking all this live and I think the nbc broadcast gave up on trying to track it all and just decided to celebrate top 3 regardless.

How many miles did she race this szn? Wasn’t it like 130 something

[@stuartbuck]

So many cows? 😅 4:50

[@felixlingelbach2758]

Schweizer called her a kid after the 5000. Now the kid has beaten her. - But Paris? She'll get lapped there.

[@latebloomerabroad]

She's only 21; getting that Olympic experience will be invaluable to her in the future. The next Olympics, I predict she'll be right up there with the top international runners!

[@synchronium24]

"I knew my strength was probably the 10k." Is Parker actually better at this event? Or is her better finish because St. Purrier and Cranny weren't competing?

[@matthewkelly6012]

I think her better event actually is the 10k. She's not a kicker and she is a very very strength-based athlete

[@jonb9194]

The numbers say the 5000m is still her best event. Parker's indoor 5000m equates very closely to the Olympic Standard in the 10000m. Her PB is +10s equivalent, but she hasn't run more than one full effort 10000m race.

[@matthewkelly6012]

@@jonb9194 A 14:50 5k, which is what Parker's definite max is in 2024, is 1182 IAAF points. Meanwhile, after running only 1 all-out (time-trial, record-attempt in which she ran half of the entire race alone) style 10k, she's run 30:50 -- 1202 points (= 14:40 5k). I think it's fairly obvious that her better event is the 10k.

[@jonb9194]

@@matthewkelly6012 Actually, you appear to be correct. I'm not sure what I was looking at after Parker's indoor 14:52, but I thought it equated to a 30:40, but now I'm seeing a 30:59.

[@billricheter5678]

I don’t think she is on the team . Has to make the time

[@Guyinhisvan]

She will be very popular in the Olympic village

[@realpine]

IF SHE FOLLOW COACH'S SIGN, I THINK SHE RUN IN HARD WAY. RUN OUTSIDE MEANS LONGER DISTANCE, TOO MUCH RUNNING FRONT LEADING TO TAKING ALL AIR RESISTANCE FOR RUNNERS BEHIND HER.. I think she is so hard worker but need to save stamina.
