God false starts always make me so sad for athletes
after your senior season too... fair DQ, I'm glad they're at least letting her run under protest. Give it your all for one last race.

BTW: Is Thompson over confident or stupid? Goes from 11th to 7th, with the fastest close of the meet (53.3) and makes it to top 7 by 0.01???
Seemed to be struggling at the bell tbh kind of a Beamish/Kincaid strategy but I don't think it'll work much longer for Thompson. He's not been having a great season

Holt can have good days but I don’t think he’s built for running rounds. He’s usually flat by the final.

I think red cards on one false start in the prelims are ridiculous but I also wish they’d spend less time in the blocks for sprints so idk what the solution is lol

I picked the girl that Ato said was out of the trials in the contest. I checked all social medias and I couldn't find that anywhere.
It wasn't announced until about an hour before trials started

I’m at the meet and you could loudly hear Palestine protestors at the start of the w100. Was clearly making athletes antsy at start.

If Sha’Carri flinches, she’s not getting a red card. NBC would NOT allow it.

I wish I was struggling before running a 400m in 53.3 (running wide of course)

Are there actually Palestine protestors there? Good gosh the stupidity of these people…it’s the Olympic track trials not some congress meeting. They’re just gonna piss people off and be counterproductive, nobody there at the meet can do anything about that issue…

Why was Mckenzie Long wearing an Adidas uniform and Nike spikes? Adidas didn't have her size? WTF?

Speaking of... if Melissa Jefferson is dropping a 10.91, I wouldn't be shocked to see Sha'Carri thrown down a real hot time here. Definitely known rip a heat here and there
