Ajee PR'd too. A Cain-Wilson 800 showdown would be great.

Centro on the track 15 minutes later for the mile.

Because they aren't playing the televised events. The best you can get from the internet feed for the track events is seeing the races in the background and listening to the announcer.
Leer looks like the man with the mustache!!!
Pumped to see Centro doubling back.
Sad to hear Will Leer's dad has cancer.
W800/1500 won by juniors. Ajee gets a lot of credit for a wire to wire win that didn't look all that difficult for her. I don't think Mary beats Ajee in the 800.
Will freaking leer FTW!
I would've been more pumped to see Centro run at least one good race instead of two crappy ones.

I got goosebumps watching that one.
Will Leer The Win!!!
So ballsy.
Wow, sick run from Leer.
Came from way back and being detached to win!
Wait, what was "ballsy"? He ran a smart race, but Craig Miller and the 3rd place guy ran "ballsier" races by taking it out. Leer ran a good race.

Disagree, he PR'd in the 8. Running the mile 50 minutes after the 8 probably wasn't the best idea, but Rupp was doing doubles at indoors nationals a year ago.
Did Leer get impeded shortly before the finish? Leer fought through it, but I still would want to DQ the 2nd place finisher.

It was ballsy because after the second 400 of 58, he just did enough to stay in contact. Throughout that race, he was on the verge of begin too far out of it. He could have easily settled for, "I won the 3k last night. Running a sub-4 at altitude sucks," and just bagged it. He didn't do it.

They said ahead of time that they would only stream the events not being broadcast on TV. They want you to watch it on TV. They are not showing the high profile events on purpose.
Can they just announce a national champion in the hurdles by DQing everyone except one guy? Would he still have to run? This is getting ridiculous.

He definitely had guts, I didn't think he was going to catch up but he sure did. Very exciting to watch! I'm just upset I missed Cain's race...:(
See and even Leslie ran much more gutsy. Jogging a 3k the night before and doing the same old late kick, isn't ballsy. It will probably mean he will make the same mistake he always makes outdoors, too little too late and who can I blame!
Katie Mackey would have won the mile. 5:03, ridiculous.
I can't understand Tim Hutchings. He sounds like he's constipated with a cactus a$$ or something. Please ditch him and get someone who can speak American! After I have spent some time attuning my ears to him, I find that he is saying inane things, incorrect things, and running his mouth constantly just to hear himself talk. If his name was Larry Rawson, this thread would be full of complaints about him. Instead, because he is foreign he seems to be revered.
Note to group: if he were really good at this job, maybe he could get one in England, but he was apparently unemployed and available.
I am dead serious.
WTH is wrong with the USATF officials (as if we don't know)? They excused at least 3 definite false starts, if one goes by the rule book. They'd better start enforcing the "new" rule like they're supposed to or they will further lose credibility and harm what's left of the sport.
Hutchings seems to have invented a new term for starts that are not legal yet are not disqualifying: "faulty" starts. Humbug! Throw the bums out!
If you don't like the rule, Ato, keep whining to USATF to change it, even though you're not an American, but please stop whining to the TV public. For now, the rule is what it is, so let's push to have it enforced for fair competition!
