Drew gets a lot of hate here, but I'm not gonna lie it would have been cool to see him make it. Crazy how you could say he was so close, but still so far. A valiant effort.
if Athing didn't go wide every time coming into the final straight she might've won this. 4:03 with a 59 close is insane, keeping pace with 4:18 milers and a 3:58 woman.
I was thinking the same thing. She must have run like 1510 meters by running so far off the rail. she was practically in lane 2.
I disagree, I think she runs in the outside because it avoids the typical carousel that happens on the homestretch each lap. She probably uses just as much energy running and extra couple of meters as she would jostling around to stay on the inside. She's a smart tactician, battle-tested by the 800.
In order to compete, Hiltz has to choose. She qualifies for the female division so I have no complaint about it regardless of her preference for a non-binary personal designation. He choice doesn't cheat anyone.
Interesting. So non-binary females should be allowed to compete because it is the "female division", but transwomen should be allowed to compete because it is the "woman's division". Pick one and be consistent, please.
I honestly didn't know he was still running. I admire the drive to still compete
This is preamble for buildup to Paris. Unfortunately everyone else will be even faster perhaps, but Budapest was never his thing.
Centrowitz will break 3:30 later this season.
Bro just didn’t have enough time to train. 10th in the US is not horrible. Centro has made every team he has tried to make. 2023 will be an interim year.
2024 will be lit 🔥
And I suspect he will move up to 5k or even roads after 2024!
That seismic shutter we all experienced were all of the basement dwellers from this message board. Absolutely losing their mind when Hiltz takes first and Mu was second!!
And if Wiley had finished third, some people's heads would have exploded!
Good to see that the forearm Heart Rate monitors they have on are wildly inaccurate. CJ Allen with the lower heart rate at the end of the race than before it.

He should take it as easily as possible to make it through the season healthy. Then get through a fall healthy. Set himself up well instead of going nuts on a redemption tour and reinjuring himself.

The whole idea of putting monitors on the athletes is so dumb.
We don't know the training Mu has been doing but I'm convinced that if she switched to pure 1500 training for a couple of years she'd at a minimum break the AR.
Athing Mu was asked that question after the New York meet a few weeks ago, and she said that she is only doing 800 training, no 1500 training.

Be honest with yourself, Centro doesn’t want to run. 5k plus. He had a great career and achieved the pinnacle of success. Dude wants to drink beers and MAYYYBE be a coach or something
So what's the deal with track in the US? I remember reading that last years world championships was the most watched ever on record. Yet, Hayward looks to be the most empty its ever been for a US trials. Along with the meet being removed from the NBC timeslot, it seems like the sport is somehow going backwards from a year ago. Is USATF really that incompetent?
The 1500s should be great. I've travelled into time and already watched the men's race. Spoiler alert. Here is our recap:
The magical 2023 season of Yared Nuguse kept on rolling tonight in Eugene as Nuguse won the men's 1500 at the 2023 Toyota USATF Outdoor Championships in a US championship record of 3:34.02, eclipsing the 3:34.08 that future Olympic champion Matthew Centrowitz ran in 2016. Nuguse, who set the American record of 3:29.02 earlier this year in Oslo, got the win in a performance that likely would have made Olympic champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen proud as he led virtually from start to finish. Nuguse took the lead just prior to the 300 meters and ripped of splits of 59.2, 57.5, 57.3 and 40.0. 2021 Olympic Trials champion Cole Hocker actually had the fastest last 300 of the night 39.8 to move from fifth to second in 3:34.75 with 20-year old Hobbs Kessler third in 3:34.92.
2021 NCAA champ Joe Waskom and Kessler tried to follow Nuguse the closest but Waskom faded to 5th.
Live reaction show at 11 pm ET where we'll break down all of the action which includes the 1500 and steeple finals.
Well Nuguse wonin 3:34 like i predicted but I had steve holman flashbacks at the 1380 mark. And the close was way faster than I wrote.
As for Waskom, I just figured out he'll get 1250 world ranking points for this (1170 for the time and 80 bonus points) and will not vault up in the Road to Budapest standings to #52 (well #51 i think if one of the Americans with the time is remove). 56 go and the last place guy right now has 1172 points.

I appreciate the creativity. I'd like to see some cadence statistics or something unique.
ScR with a 21.61! She’s the athlete of the meet so far. Great stuff. I already think she’ll win the WC in the 100 but now I’m wondering about a 100/200 double. She has put together the best sprinting display at a single meet, by a US woman athlete in recent memory, imho.
It’s conceivable that Steiner does not make the team this year. I’m putting ScR, Thomas, and Davis all ahead of her.
