seeing a 400m track makes my brain happy. I hate indoors where you've got to think about 200m tracks, flat tracks, banked tracks, whatever the hell distance UW track is.
I think this is Elly Henes first 10k. Excited to see how she does
She ran one unattached in December 2020. I think it was a Sound Running race that a number of top collegiates ran during that covid-affected period before the 2021 track season got rolling. She qualified for the 2021 Olympic Trials in the 10k at that race, but I don't think she ended up running it.
definitely. There's been at least one athlete in all 4 races willing to take it out and lead early which really helps
And Lex Young certainly passed his audition as a color commentator . . . didn't need to be proded to say something yet never talked over Jeff/lead commentator . . . and mentioning Charles Hicks' Nike NIL deal was a very nice "drop" . . . probably most listeners were not aware of this new development . . .
