I think Cain breaks the World Junior Record. Looking froward to her racing Ajee Wilson who isn't that much older than Mary and also loves to run at the Armory.
Not sure what we will see from Rupp in the 2-mile but excited to see. And it would be something to see one of these College teams beat USA in the DMR. I think it will happen.
re: "Cain breaks the World Junior Record"
A 1:30 600m and a 2:07 800 a half hour later on a 300m track is about 2:04 800 shape. A 1:30 600m is somewhat impressive for a 800/1500 type, but then again, a 800/1500 type should have been able to come back with a stronger 800m. Keep in mind that the 2 girls that beat Cain in that 600m are NCAA freshman and are the same age as Cain. With about a week and a half more of training puts her at 2:02x capability. I don't think Cain will even break the 'U.S.' Jr record; I see Wilson winning this event in 2:01x. Btw, don't discount Goule and Roesler who will be in that race.
