He’s lane 2, different Quincy in lane 8.  It’s been amazing following this kid during the season.

Oh shit thanks! Was trying to read and post while driving 🥴

There’s also been talk of getting the Olympic trials out of Eugene and into a larger city with easier access and more hotels. Austin gets mentionable a lot

Two amazing finishes.  Holy crap those ladies are hauling ass.

You shouldn't do that.

I am hoping Athing Mu gets a spot on the 4x400 team.  Broke my heart to see her go down.  Nothing nefarious about her fall.  I was hoping that there was so she could still have a shot at the Games.  

Regarding the men's 4x400, I always assumed that the top 6 400 meter finishers at the trials made up the relay pool.  It could be coaches choice I guess.   It would be cool to see QW get to run a leg in the prelims.

That was heartbreaking, it was an unbelievable run.  Alternate on something, to say the least.

Valarie Allman is a beast, damn

Tara Davis making it interesting early, fouling on her first 2 jumps before hitting the 3rd to advance to earn 3 more jumps.

[Braff Zacklin 13551]

She won. Looked as fine as ever doing it, too.

Sydney McLaughlin doing Sydney McLaughlin things again. US will be sending a very talented and deep track-and-field squad to Paris.

That's incredible... running sub 45's at that age.  

[BlueGreySky 1002]

I was just glad to have two kids go sub 48 this year for my own team.  QW is a freak.  I am coaching a junior olympian club team right now and a couple of them even wear Bullis gear. 

Loved watching Syd break the WR again.  Remember being there two years ago, front row on the back stretch when she won the World Champ and broke the record previously.  Absolutely can't wait to see her and Femke dual it out - my two favorite women t&f athletes.

Really hope Mu gets a shot for the 4x4.  

Rai looking great - love watching him run. 

And then the 4x1... always crazy.  Can't wait.

He's done it again. Clocked a 44.20 yesterday to lower his world record by nearly four-tenths. 

Just an unbelievable talent. Check the interview. Kid is mature beyond his years in performance and personality.

I watched the whole production - it was fun. Warholm having to wear a Swedish jersey today is lol.  That was the bet, loser has to wear the other country's jersey.  T&F needs more stuff like this and less bullshit like Syd not being allowed to qualify for the finals in the diamond league 400 and 200 next week because she hasn't run "enough" diamond league races this season.  Mondo offered to run a 400 against her head to head as a fallback plan.
