Not true, you have no idea how he would have run in a one heat final

Man...Houlihan just played that field in the 1500m.
Bowerman Babes ?
He didn't let up, he tied up. There's a difference. He's so smooth it doesn't look like he's struggling. Masback and the other dope on the mic are clueless.

Brazier crushed it. I don't think he let up. They said so on NBCSN but I just think he was tired and lost a gear. He leaned at the finish which isn't something people letting up do.
Windle is a huge talent and that's a decent way to make teams but it likely won't win the race vs studs.
I have to agree with the Brojos. Live, it looked like he let up, but in the replay it looked like he was just slowing.
Also, Shelby H. is a badass.
Well I just lost the prediction contest. AMAZING weekend for Houlihan!!! Not a great result for Kate Grace.

With like 200 to go I was thinking "Wow Bowerman might be in trouble" as Kate was fading and Houlihan and Quigley weren't right on lead. How wrong I was although Grace bombed.
"Going into 400 meters to go I didn't think I was in a position to win but I felt so aerobically strong that I tried to still have that kick with 250 to go. I was hoping they would die and come back to me. I think a got a little bit lucky" - Houlihan to NBCSN. She said she'll probably just run 3000 at Worlds.
Houlihan's final kick is INSANE!!!!
I knew when Sara Vaughn made that move with 400 to go it was WAY TOO SOON.
I wonder how much Erik Sowinski would benefit from racing some 1500s.
8th at 400 to go and 5th with 100 to go, absolute monster finish by houlihan.
Meanwhile Katie Nageotte is vaulting out of her fucking mind. Comes in with a PR of 4.76 and goes clear at 4.81, 4.86 AND 4.91 all on the first attempts. She is now #4 all time indoors, and beating #1 and #3 in this competition.
Hahaha wow.. great race, but for the high school kids watching, don’t spot people that much with 100 to go in an indoor race.

What happened to GRACE? After it was over,I thought to myself. Wait where was Grace? Was she a DNS?
Let's hope she doesn't change groups. I imagine she's way undertrained as compared to the rest of the BTC.2018 is a good year to have some growing pains as you up the mileage.
Anyone know what happened to Kate Grace? Did she finish?
Shannon Osika is a SHOCKER member of the World's team as Houlihan is not running the 1500 there and Shannon has the standard (4:27 mile).

So if Houlihan only runs the 3000 at Worlds, does Shannon Osika get the other 1500 spot? If so, great for her. She’s been consistently moving up in the ranks since turning pro and deserves the accolades.
4:26.7, 10th place for Grace.
Woman's 1500 was the best race at Nationals this year. So many touch talented women.

I think that 1500 screwed up a lot of prediction contests. At least I had her in the top 3. Too strong and too good of kick not too. My Kate Grace pick didn't help, though.

All the real stars were missing. No Jenny, no Rowbury, no Brenda, Kate Grace bombed, etc.
This was the perfect preface for Shelby going into the 3000 at World's. She has demonstrated her ability to kick like a mule for days in a row.
MARK MY WORDS she will beat KK in Birmingham!
