    Every diehard track fan is either a) tired of going to Eugene or b) Out of money.

    Back in the day, the locals would show up but the guy we rent a house in Eugene from says, "Why would I pay when I can watch it for free on tv?" He says they used to get season tickets to everything but now you get nickle and dimed for every meet.

    10.76 and she’s barely pushing it. SCR has world record talent. True statement race coming in the final. 10.6x coming.

    Hobbs out, Shawnti out, Mia in. Odd results, but that's why they run the races.

    Wow, some big names out in the semis - Aleia Hobbs, Ezinne Abba, Morolake Akinosun, English Gardner, Jenna Prandini DNS. Would expect most of them to make the final. A changing of the guard, the youngsters are coming up. Abba is young but has been very fast this year.

    re: Reddevil

    Nice run by Davis........Pederson makes the final.......nice job!

    Jackson never in it, got a bad start.

    Pretty weak performance from the women..........This is a done deal.

    Richardson easy winner......no challenge at all

    CNBC didn't mention her during her race at all. Thought it was a bit bizarre as she's in high school.

    The announcers probably didn't even realize that.

    Peacock gave her some love, but it’s all about SCR tonight and it should be.

    I’m not expecting it to be full but this is an embarrassment. Your insight into poor attendance is interesting. Obviously, trials need to be moved to Austin or something. Hayward magic appears to have been lost with the new stadium.

    Probably not. Wind has to be barely under the allowable. In the semis the wind readings were 0.7 and 0.4. Shawnti Jackson "only" ran 11.18 in the 2nd semi, while MBP ran 11.09 in the 1st semi.

    Great run by Pederson. She's been v consistent. Shawnti lacks consistency at this stage.

    I wouldn't blame USATF, though a Los Angeles venue would certainly get much higher turnout. Track and Field in the US is like Jazz music: been dying for years, small audience but somehow there remains a core of dedicated fans who keep the fire alive and a small group of younger musicians who honor the idiom and push the boundaries.

    If it’s not fairly full by the 100 finals, it’s a joke. I mean who wouldn’t want to turn out to see the SCR show??

    Sha’Carri does NOT have world record talent. Let us be real here.

    OK, I'll give some love to Austin. A venue in Florida would also do well, maybe Miami. New York?

    If anybody alive does, she does. Maybe the record is too doped or windy to ever be broken, but SCR is going to be a dominant force if she can stay focused. If ETH can run 10.5x, SCR can do better. She’s jogging 10.7s
