Official 2017 USATF Outdoor Nats Day 1 Live Discussion Thread

Not watching live but I saw a picture and it looked like Watson was wearing this years Nike Kit? Did she go pro?

Brooks done as anything other than pure hobby jogger brand. Really gone downhill the last couple years.

RIP Brooke Feldmeier. What a babe.

appreciate the updates wrote:

pure gold rojo. thanks again for the great play-by-play and updates

Its not like much happens in a distance race. It's not too hard to do. I didn't even watch the women's races. Steve Soprano did these recaps.

Heat 4

Ajee Wilson went out hard right from the gun, but settled and let the pack bunch up right on her at the 200 mark. Wilson lead through a 62.xx first lap with Laura Roesler needing to do some work back in 5th. With 200m to go everyone was still bunched up together, but Wilson started pulling away and Roesler moved around the bunch to follow. Wilson won the heat in 2:02.84 with Roesler 2nd (2:02.xx) and NJ-NY TC’s Ce’aira Brown 3rd.

Sad to see Symmonds go. Leaves us wondering what the future of Brooks Beasts is. Cas and Symmonds bombed, Heath isn't running, unclear if Windle is still with Beasts or not.

Will Mackey keep his job?

Loxsom is not with the Beasts. Everyone knows Symmonds is done. Windle and Walker are in.

not trolling - obviously Loxsom isn't with Beasts, I have eyes. But Mackey is still coaching him and situation is very odd. Only adds to negative air around the group

This means absolutely nothing, they were all in different heats.

That's it for Nick. 1:51

Would have been better off letting the 15 year old run

Nope. Cause we are talking about Nick.

here is our interview with him:

I get the letting a guy have his last race sometimes or whatever, but you should know when you're done, it's good to see a guy go out at least looking good vs running terrible like that doesn't really make sense

Perfect screen grab, Nick last shot at LRC, double flips of the bird, right atcha.

I think this is one of the first times there hasn't been a live stream to be found to watch a big event like this.

I didn't realize jeff demps was still running, nice run by him to qualify.

Seems like it's time for Brooks to rebrand itself. The Beasts concept is dated both in look (uniforms are the worst) and the "Beasts" name is silly and should be dropped. They aren't producing results. Seems like an update would bring the brand back to relevance

Yeah, I couldn't even find any on other websites, even in other languages, it's really stupid the way USATF and NBC have destroyed track viewing

wow bromell out. I know there were some injury questions, but to not even make it out of round 1 is a stunner.

+1

On a related note, Dix is listed for the 200

I have been watching on my phone since the start of the meet today.
