Going to Stanford has nothing to do with anything. Lots of runners at smart schools have run dumb races.
sure there are bad tactics and then there are mind blowingly stupid/suicidal tactics like trying to front run a bunch of Africans in 95 degree heat. not sure why you thought Riggs would ever do that. but thankfully she didnt run "dumb"in this race despite your prediction. ran a really smart race in fact and finished well because of it. there was, to your point, a Stanford casualty but she wasnt any of the americans. was surprised about that but never for a minute did I think Riggs would try to front run.
Dude why are you insecure about your height? You obviously aren’t close to 6 foot. You are one of the fastest high school runners ever. Creating a fake profile to argue you are 5’10 is just another level of insecurity that doesn’t spell a bright future.
