splits 63/58, unless I'm confused. She's crazy good. |

I'd say Beckwith is just as much the future as Wright. She ran the 200/400 in HS and didn't even run the 800 until fairly recently (once she gave up soccer for good). She's going to get even better with more experience at the distance and also with more aerobic training. |

Thanks to Microsoft, CBS, and NCAA for screwing up the internet feed so the 12 of us track fans nationwide who wanted to watch Phoebe Wright's historic win just missed history. |
| CBS SUCKS JUNK |

thats more likely. i was just listening to the announcer, who must've been confused. |
| yes........ |
| ||
|
Yes, it seemed like she ran even splits. Beckwith is a strong new talent that should make an impact too. |
| Just checked results |

|
The announcer said she was 58.x at the 400. |

Hell yeah, smashed that 2 minute barrier and beat the best 800 runners the U.S. has to offer. Great run! |
| Weary |

Alysia Johnson, with a world indoor bronze and a USA title, is still obviously part of that future |
| agreed.... |

|
Agreed, one of the biggest comeback stories by Alysia Johnson after a disappointing 2008 (and even 2009). |
