I almost feel bad for Brazier.  His career was pretty much dead and buried until recently, becomes the USA national champion, and no one outside himself and his immediate family gives a shit.

He handled it well. He had some interview afterwards where he was joking about being glad that he’s 28 and not having to deal with Cooper in his prime  

 

 

Boo. Lutkenhaus signs with Nike.  Good for him, of course, but his UIL days are over.  I was looking forward to seeing him be a 4x gold medalist in the 800.

No World Championships chatter?

Big problem with it being on Tokyo and NBC having the broadcast rights is finding updates on the run.

Here is a link to an good story about Crouser,

https://www.nbcsports.com/olympics/news/ryan-crouser-shot-put-world-track-and-field-championships-2025

He is a freaking beast, the best of all time in the shot, and one of the all time track and field greats for the USA.  

Cooper Lutkenhaus is running 5:30 am tomorrow.  

Fairy tale over for cooper.  1:47, and done. 

Sydney with a new AR!

No fairy tale, you don't post those times in that event and not have talent.

The story is just beginning for Cooper and I think it will be interesting to watch his progress as his physically matures and gains racing experience at that level. 

Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone is a legend. Now a World Champion in the 400m hurdles and the open 400m (with the 2nd fastest time in history).

Fastest time in over 40 years.  She's gonna break the world record at or before the Olympics.

Agree on before, not sure on at only because I am not sure she runs both and if she runs and wins the 400H yet again that is very rare Olympic territory to win a race three straight Olympics.

I would love to see the schedule work out for her to shoot for the double in her final Olympics. 

Great day!  Benjamin gold. 1-2 in the 200; Lyles and KF Kenny!

An East German woman in the mid ‘80s has had the World Record (by a large margin) for 40 years…

🧐

I’m sure that she wasn’t on PEDs or anything.

Oh, Good Lord, the record book can't get rid of that era quick enough.  

So glad Rai's DQ was overturned.  That was some grade A bullshit.

I think they're gonna work out a schedule where she can do this.  They did it for Michael Johnson in the 2/4 double.

I miss her running against Femke.  Those are my two favorite female runners. It's a shame that they don't meet up more often.

If you missed the race here is the link to the US Women winning yet another 4 x 400 meter relay.

Goodness knows this didn't show up anywhere on ESPN.  

 

Moving this up. I need to locate all the times to post but there’s been some blistering times in Texas hs track already this year. Any of you guys who have access to these, post ‘em up!

Please post the blistering times too!

Most likely based on the tools he has, but how many kids have we seen run great 100M times and then just fade away.

I mean back to guys like Roy Martin and Derrick Florence.

Here are the early Top 10 Boys 100m wind legal, then wind aided. Bluebonnet Relays at A&M must have been fun because they had REALLY strong winds behind them.

Cooper Lutkenhaus world champ.

Amazing to watch a 17 year old high school junior who had the composure Cooper showed and not get anxious and kick too early. Very composed and impressive run.

I hope he can stay healthy and focused. What an amazing young talent.
Eliot Crestan, who was 2nd at world's, said he could be the next Rudisha. That may be a stretch, but what a comparison..

Meh. He would have finished 3rd at UIL 6A last year. Tate Taylor was 16 years old and ran a 9.92.

Miss me with that.

At the Texas Relays today, Andrew Jones from Klein Collins ran a 12.97 110 hurdles. Meet record, all classes - including college and "Open". Also, Dillion Mitchell is still fast as shit.

Also a national high school record and he has I believe the second fastest high school 300M of all time.

Total clickbait headline….but nevertheless, bears watching this kid

State UIL track meet this weekend. Expect some good numbers.

You heard me.

Our coach's son, Camden Gibson, won the 1600m in the 6A meet. He's had a great HS career despite a few injuries along the way. Headed to Tulsa on a schollie. Way to go, young man.

Kid from Katy Tompkins had a big tailwind assisted 19.86 in the 200m. National record is 20.05 set by Tate Taylor at the same meet last year.

Here’s the video

Is Taylor just going to turn pro or is he going to run at Tech next year?

Someone told me he missed most of the high school season this year running at bigger meets.

Lutkenhaus wins his Diamond League debut.

Hoping he is managing all the changes away from the track, but there is little doubt from a competitive stand point he was ready to make the job in competition.

Holy shit, Ja'Kobe Tharp from Auburn just set a world record of 12.75 in the 110m hurdles in the semi of the NCAA championship

Ha, Dwight Stones on the call was the last to set a WR at the NCAA championships, his in the high jump in 1976.

Ol' boy in lane 4 knocked over 8 of 10 hurdles, that can't be ideal.

I think Cooper Luktenhaus needs his own thread. He just beat the Olympic gold medalist and silver medalist. I love the gold medalist's reaction. Total sportsmanship.

Lutkenhaus with the championship. He ends it with about 150 to go still.

Tate Taylor continues to crush it

Yea that kid can fly

Need to see him And gout gout go at it

In the 200

The US U20 men’s 4 x 400 was pretty decent.
