THIRD*
THIRD*
She was 3rd. Reid was 2nd. Or are you not counting Dibaba as being in this race?
Rupp breaking out the Hollister kit from last year's two mile record run. Must be feeling good.
Pretty sick. Jk said her 3k equtes to a 9:45 two mile. NOw she runs 9:38.
PS. I take back what I said about the Ethipian teen (although she did run like 8:45 last year).

its really upsetting that all the commentators are calling it 'The Reggie'...its just "reggie".
To the locals, it's "The Reggie".
WOW. And to think some people were questioning estimates of her low 9:40's ability after cross! What is that, 8:55 ish for 3000?

in other news, she went out in 67 and got cooked. did anyone get martinez's final time?
she'll have the World Jr. record before she finishes HS, if not this season!

SHE WAS SECOND IN A FIELD THIS STRONG!!!! WHAT?!!? 9:38.68.. Her last 200 was sub 30... wtf?!
Third. But still damn impressive.
announcer just said rupp ran for jesuit...ouch!
Cain's converts to 8:55.81.
Imagine what she can do once she runs with the confidence and guts of a seasons pro and doesn't save so much for the last 200!
Dibaba is from a different universe
Does her time make her faster than all the guys on the Bronxville team? She's definitely in the top 3.

Can someone please update the 3k status? Has it started yet?
Gebremeskel non factor now. Hagos Geb is proving he is next in line for Ethiopian King.
Rupp is getting crushed!
Rupp beaten, he should have covered that move if he was able to close that gap near the end. Still not a bad race, but he could have won that.
F*ck.
Crushed or beaten?
