5th in her heat in the 100. She moves to the semis, but hard to see her even making the final. Odd she ran the 100. Perhaps a bit of speed tuning before the 200 next week??
Certainly seems she was more likely to qualify in the 400 than the 100.
But at least she's running, apparently uninjured.
Apparently Steiner was just replaced in the 100m semis. Dealing with yet another injury? Seems the NCAA grinder claimed another promising young athlete. Honestly wouldn't be surprised if she's dealing with injuries the rest of her career. Would be a shame if she ends up being just another "what could have been" type athlete.
I also do not see her doing anything in that 200m. Too few races this year, seemingly injured, and too much competition.
puma pays her 2 million/year

She was always injury prone.
Thanks...I thought I was losing my mind w no Steiner in the 3 heats.
Announcers arent really up w it. Were off on the heat 2 winner too.
22.29 for second in her opening heat at the trials. Looked good. Sha'carri was first in 21.99.
Engaged to be married. Good for her.
Best Wishes.

I read she was taking a couple of years 0ff to get an Advanced Degree at the University of South Carolina.
Props To Adidas for nut reducing Her $2 Million a year for The 3 Years She has underperformed and now 2 Year Break From Competition, I don't know when her Contract Expires, but Hopefully puma Sticks with her until 2032 at 2 Million A Year. A Lot of Companies would Have reduced her Salary or even Terminated Her, Staying With Someone at their lowest point is THE RIGHT THING TO DO, and what Companies and Businesses should always do.

Abby Stiener has similar times and achievements , So it is Probable Mckenzie Long gets about 2 Million as well, If Adidas pays as well as Puma?
I noticed that she doesn’t have Puma in her Instagram bio anymore, I wonder if they terminated her contract. I get the impression that she’s retired from running entirely which is a shame as I’d been looking forward to her comeback.
Looks like she is a new hire as a Strength and Conditioning Specialist while she works on her masters at South Carolina.
Bio lists her as "Abby Steiner is a former professional sprinter ..."

She spent a substantial amount of her most productive years running for points. I am not surprised. I wish her very well with her studies. Glad that she has something to fall back on.
Abby has had a lot of adversity throughout her athletic career in both soccer & as a sprinter. She persevered and overcame it. I also was looking forward to seeing her compete in the future but hope her new path works out for her. She’s got a good head on her shoulders, is a good athlete and an even better person. She’ll do well with whatever she does.

Funny, I posted the above with the anonymous username of “Fellow Buckeye” and somehow it was changed to “zyman.”
