re: wannabepro25

Grant had to solo the final 2500 meters.

So, last Saturday @ Millrose vs. Hocker w/pacers and no lapped runners was the perfect race.

Today was not.

Grant probably needed pacing lights to run 61s/400 the whole way to 12:42.

Still, a sub-30/final 200 close showed he did not tie up, meaning he probably could have gone a bit faster given conditions like @ Wanamaker Mile.

Since Millrose, people have been asking, when was the last time a US man held a WR?

Now, when was the last time a US man held 2 WRs?

(Maybe Jim Ryun . . . 3:51.1/mile & 3:33.1/1500 from 1967?)

But the officials at BU need to have a better system for this. They could alert lapped runners well in advance and move them out to lane 2 when the leader is 50m back.
Of course, the worst of all worlds is that the lapped runners move out too late and tangle with the leader, so they have to be told to move out early.
And for this race in particular they didn't need to as many 13:20 guys.
Yeah I’m probably being a bit over critical. Just frustrated to see this kinda thing factor into attempts at fast times again and again

Gudaf Tsegay would agree with you.

The fact they didn’t move over for him when it was a world record attempt is so lame. Honestly super impressed with Fisher being able to move past a group so efficiently when they were spread into lane 2. He’s the real deal.

This is a ridiculous take. They did exactly what they should have done, which is nothing. If Moses could have come and divinely parted the way for Grant, that would have been great, but expecting each athlete to move over at the right time would have been unpredictable chaos, especially when at times they were two abreast. Being able to run around them with out the fear of them moving over on him is the best way. Even if one or 2 of them moved off the rail for him, taking a chance that every single one of them would do so would only get him boxed and slowed significantly if 1 person did not move and ruined it. They all had their own races to run and goals to hit. They all held their position and didn't do anything stupid. They did fine.

No way they all could have coordinated a move:

Mods deleted my post (#3 on this thread) predicting 12:44.33. Why??

There was literally nothing else, except a 12:44.33 WR prediction.

Seriously, WTF??

What happened with Nia Akins in the 800m?

According to the splits, she was in 4th in 1:30.13 at 600m and then DNF.

re: Live, from Boston

Ajee Wilson at least has a legitimate qualifier now with a 2:02.31 rather than that 2:08 time she had.

Brojos need to look into this.

Zero defensible reason for a mod to have deleted my comment. Only petty spite that I predicted Fisher's new WR to within .2 could explain it.

Results list say she was DNS, not DNF.

Not to be a jerk but what is this argument? The meet is streaming and she ran 600 and dropped out after falling off. Who cares what the results say?

Insanity in the women’s mile right now. Ayyildiz 4:23, Hartman in heat 3 (also day after 8:46 3k!) runs 4:24, riggins 4:24, Appleton 4:25, two 4:26s and two 4:28s (and a return to form for Mia Barnett).

Look no further than the outdoor 1500m PBs. These women are getting down to the 3:59-4:02 range, so I agree someone translating that earlier to a 4:20 is going to happen.
