Sowinski takes 600 in 1:15.07, ouch, that race hurt just to watch. Geisting came through 400 in 48.2! and after that the last 200 was a real visible struggle for everyone else. Loxsom almost caught him but both were feeling the hurt with 25m left. Brazier looked good until 100 to go as well until he was overtaken and had nowhere to run.

Men's 600 on the line, Kidder or Murphy? Wheating/Andrews not so sure. And the 19yr. old Brazier? "old man'Sowinski?
Kidder, Murphy, Wheating, and Andrews are in the 1K. And for the record, I'm high on Wheating, he looked great in the rounds. But Murphy / Andrews are probably on paper better choices for the favorite.
Sandi Morris's butt is the highlight.
Looking at Sandi Morris, I can see one reason Jenn Suhr didn't compete, and might not be around for too much longer.
Lipsey wins the K in 2:37.96, but Lauren Johnson did a surprisingly good job of sticking in perfect position until 50m left of the race holding on for 2nd. Sammy Watson 2:40.72 for 4th, breaking her old HS record (but still very far from Cain's 2:35 which she ran in HS).

Lauren Johnson is slowly making a comeback, wishing the best for her.
Cain has got the high school record in my book.
Watson is a high schooler racing pros. Cain was a high schooler racing pros. What's the difference?
Have they said anything on the broadcast about Suhr not competing?

What is Cain's PR now?

Not that I've heard, and I'd be surprised if they do. Though they were fairly candid talking about the Russian doping busts during the web casts. Men's 1K on the track now.
Wheating? No way.
Wheating leads through 800m but Murphy pulls through in the end and takes it in 2:18, impressive time. Brandon Kidder put up a good fight towards the end for 2nd. Murphy ran the first 800m aside Wheating in lane 2, which in retrospect might have been a good move as he was able to control the race without actually leading.
Murphy had a great trip Made it look easy. 2:18.6
When is Robby Andrews going to learn how to race?
The OHIO guys crushed the 1,000!!!!

I'm starting to wonder if he will ever learn but he was a total non factor today on the last lap so it's not like tactics did him in,
Brandon Kidder put up a nice challenge to Murphy on the final lap.
Murphy and Kidder closing the last 200m in low 25 after ~1:52 for the opening 800. Not too shabby.

He actually ran a fast last lap - but he lost the race in the first 4 laps by hanging back in his usual fashion. He needs to learn this isn't NCAA anymore - if he wants to win races, he needs to race smart and put himself in position to win before the bell.
Correction, ~1:53 opening 800 and 25 mid last lap. Still quick

Andrews waits too long, doesn't catch Wheating.
They both watch the future run away from them.
