Sheila Reid's 5000 Meter Start List

In a pre-Olympics Live Chat from Athletics Canada, Sheila Reid indicated that anything short of making the 5000 meter finals would be "hugely disappointing." Tomorrow morning, she'll have her shot in the second of two 5000 meter heats. The first 5 finishers from each heat, plus the 5 next fastest runners from either heat will advance to the Olympic final.
