She crushed the field, not that it seemed like a very competitive fast race for the rest of the runners

If this was her first meet and she hasn't been on the track for any workouts, she has a chance of being good. Otherwise, she will be struggling come August when everything counts.

I'm interested in why you would think this to be so?

Nothing wrong with being on the track year round. It's the mix of workouts and (as you alluded) racing schedule. She is on target to bring it strong for the trials, the games and races in between.

Windy conditions without competition. I think she'll take that time.

Nice run for BF. This bodes well for her, she will do well in the Trials.

The first womens steeple of 2012 was run at a DIAMOND LEAGUE Meet yesterday. Is Franek anywhere near the WL now? That's what I thought, not even on the same straightaway.
