She is capable of 1:56-1:57 this year if The Diamond League has a regular schedule, I could see her running 48 for 400 and 1:54 for 800 and who knows what in the 1500 maybe sub 3:50 WR?
What a talent.
I think she can do what Jearl Miles Clark tried to in the 90s. She's a true 4/8 type. But don't sleep on her 200m abilities either.
If not compared to other runners for context, it is meaningless.

Disingenuous comparisons offer no context and are meaningless. Try again

Good luck comparing a Athing Mu do anybody, she's arguably the greatest prospect coming through the college ranks currently.
You literally just compared her to..... everyone. People get their undies in a bundle in threads when another name is mentioned even though the thread is making the claim that the person is the best ever. How do you know that she is the best ever without looking at the times of others? Duh. What if a woman cones along and runs 2:10 in the 800 at a D3 school and the ignorant father claims that she is the best of all time?
Even years ago the 600m (?) record was impressive. But 50.03 relay indoors shows global medal potential.
She is entered in the open 400 m this Saturday.

Tex A&M could get one of their 23+ 200 women to run the 400 outdoors, because the seed times suggest they've got 3 fast 400 runners.
USC showed 3 fast 400m times for women in that Arkansas Invite that Matt Boling ran.
I'm not doubting her talent because she's shown herself to be extremely talented. However, given that the 800 meters can be such an unpredictable event I don't think we can write her in as the NCAA champ in the 800m yet. How many times have we seen an 800m favorite either not make the final or completely blow up in the final.
I just hope she sees this college thing through. Her brothers were very talented and didn't stick it out. Both could have had their college paid for and made a serious dent in the college ranks.

Agreed, the 800 especially indoors is finicky. With that said, it appears she can easily stay out of trouble by taking the lead going out with a 60 second quarter. She might be good enough to do the 400/800 double.
she can do 400/800 double at NCAA indoors
Silly to say. Her brothers got small stipends to go to college and they made no impact.

I would not be surprised if we hear the split was a mistake and it was more like 52:03, which is still impressive.
What would make you think that ya boob?
yah no reason to doubt the split... she also has run 50.93
I was just wondering the other day when was the last time we saw a runner who could do the 400/800 double. Male or female. Mu appears to be capable of it which is very impressive. Let's see what type of time she runs in the open 400 this week. I'm going to temper my expectations for her because she's a young runner and many times young runners are hampered by expectations/pressure that others have for them once they show some promise. She appears to be the real deal but time will tell.
It was actually 50.02.

I did not say the say the split was incorrect, but there had been quite a few situations where someone ran a crazy split and it turned out to be incorrect. Sprint relays splits are notoriously inaccurate. Unless you have someone who knows the specific methodology and is personally tasked with getting specific splits, you will probably not be incorrect. Except perhaps the Penn Relays where they have a method and invest time and effort in getting accurate splits.
Ummm Brazier lol
