Rojo and Wejo: Give Emma Coburn the homepage for her AR

I don't think you know what a byline is.

You're an idiot. Of course they will give her the black page. Does everything need to be done immediately to satisfy you?

If mead ran 12:52 he'd get one too.

Millenials don't know much of anything.

Yes it is universally accepted on LetsRun that Emma is the prettiest world class American right now.

Maybe they are waiting to confirm that she takes a drugs test before jumping on the record splash page

Doesn't she have to prepare some paperwork first to apply for the record? Or maybe she didn't jump through some other obscure bureaucratic hoop.

No black page for distant 3rd place finishes.

It is not obscure or bureaucratic. She has to take a drug test. The last time she broke the existing AR she did not do that. That was not a bureaucrat's fault.

Ok. I'll admit to misusing the word byline. I meant that her name was just briefly mentioned. They didn't even post her time - the new AR - on the front page.

This thread is sad. Name calling. Sexism. Childishness. I understand this is the internet. A message board where there's ZERO repurcussions for being an a--hole. But grow up.

Wejo and Rojo:

You contribute to the culture of this message board by allowing such speech, and by valuing male performance more than women's. I stand by my point. If a male runner ran an American Record in a distance event, it would be far more prominently featured.

Give her the splash page.

she got trounced by 2 doping Africans by 10 seconds.... The USA will not win a distance medal in Rio.

I couldn't agree more. Kinda reminds me of when huddle broke the 5000m record. No black out page either.

It was her first steeple of the season. She's got a shot. Even if she doesn't medal at least she is super hot....can't say that about the women who beat her. You go Emma!!!

How about a black page for the winner.

Why is it so bad to admire the physical beauty of a talented woman? Get over yourselves. She's pretty, fast and good for the sport.

Steeple Chase records can not be set at Hayward. Bridget Franek was not awarded the 2k AR steeple. Why? The steeple pit is turned 12 inches to far inward so that it would be more visible to the home stretch and stands.

That's racist

Completely agreed. Give her a black page!!!!

No black page for Shannon Rowbury's 1500 record either last year.

The black page committee will discuss your request.

In the meantime, nice article in Denver Post on the tough time Coburn went through this summer.
