Actually, it’s the final individual event. They’ll all go all-out. They’ve got a feel for how the altitude affects them as individuals. They’ll run within themselves. They will NOT want it to be tactical, there are too many closers (such as McCabe). I think it’ll be pretty quick from the start. (I agree that Tuohy will go, but I think she liked the 800m gear-ratcheting yesterday and will go similarly tonight).
With all this in mind, as they’ll be going fast, I think they’ll go out in 6:00 for the first 2k. (Not MEGA fast, but it is altitude). Tuohy makes a MASSIVE move with 600m to go.
Tuohy wins in 8:50. 2nd is McCabe in 8:55 with Roe in tow after a hard-fought battle with McCabe in 8:56.
I would be shocked if it's that fast. USATF indoors was just there and Constien won in 8:48 over Whittni Morgan, an 8:30 runner, in a not too tactical race. Constien, Morgan and Henes also all train at altitude.
I think Tuohy moves with a k to go, atleast, like ACCs. She can't leave it too late.
Sydney McLaughlin capped off a flawless 4x400m relay, winning gold alongside Talitha Diggs, Abby Steiner, and Britton Wilson as Team USA wrapped up their bes...
oh.. okay. I thought for sure I saw Maatoug on the anchor leg, but I must've gotten that wrong. Maybe that's why Duke got 10th in the women's DMR.
LOL no Frias, No Maatoug but the baton dropper had best 400.
Brittonmania!!! She's another Bowerman candidate when hurdles pick up outdoor.. Guess the distance training for 800 didn't wipe out all the fast twitch.
