Four qualifiers for the long finals

My "batting average" model of WOC qualifiers is batting 1000. It expected 4 qualifiers from the group of runners from USA, BEL, POR, CAN, IRL, JPN and NZL. Here are the 4 qualifiers with their nations and places in their heats:

Lizzie Ingham (NZL) 6th
Ali Crocker (USA) 10th
Carol Ross (CAN) 14th
Chris Forne (NZL) 15th

I think it is always fun to see younger runners doing well. Ingham and Ross are both just 23.

Louise Oram (CAN) was close. She finished 16th, missing a qualifying time by 16 seconds. From the splits, it looks like Louise lost a bit too much time on two legs - 3 and 7. You can see the course here.

Middle qualification

The middle qualification race is tomorrow and the batting average model would again have 4 qualifiers.
