Fast race. I think that's a big PR for Lipsey.

Has Sammy Watson gone pro? Why is she in a Nike kit?

American record in the 800 and no one knew it (except me who has been watching for 2 seconds). This announcing is BAD. At 500, I looked up and told my wife they might be able to get the AR. She's like, "What's the record? I was like 158-9". At 600, I was like this is definitely going down.

How does it not get mentioned until the race is over?

I promise you the guy who is broadcasting the Ivy League champs in two weeks with me is way better than this NBCSN guy.

1) it's indoor season. the 60, 300, 500, 600, 1000, are the typical indoor racing distances.

2) It's indoor season. the best in the world are busy training for championship season, which is in the summer. some top guys will show up to these meets, but they aren't peaking yet so their times usually aren't that impressive.

Ajee' Wilson's coach is clearly very talented. Lipsey just PR'd but a full 2 seconds, indoors nonetheless! Wow! very incredible pair of races from Ajee' and Lipsey. Not a bad go by Sharp. She has a weird arm swing.

Lawi ruined that race after 1800m. Butchart made the first effort to get around, but Lalang made everyone else decide if they wanted to waste energy to get around. Take the cash and let the boys actually race! Made Centro & Co. look bad.

So Butchart loses a race by a lot and you are blaming the rabbit??

I'm shocked by the 2mile results. Not shocked that Centro didn't win but am shocked that True did.

sounds like some fun stuff, is that live on flotrack?

Is Murphy a miler or an 800 guy? I don't think he knows - perhaps he finds out today.

Andrews looks fit!

I hope to god they didn't scare off Hutchings for being too British. He has the best combo of knowledge/enthusiasm of any of NBC's stable of announcers. And I'm sure there are plenty of more capable American announcers that won't get a chance because NBC needs to give the NASCAR guy something else to do during the rest of the year to fulfill his contract.

Truly, this is pathetic.

if NBC posted it, it must be true.

Of course the old as dirt relic-of-the-past meet director would keep the Men's mile as the "premier event". And of course he would shoot the gun.

They shouldn't be that crap, where they are finishing in last place or getting blown out.

Shaunie blew away the field so she has definitely been into her training , and she got married last week.

I don't expect top form, but to look like utter crap where you're not in the top 4 or 5 is a problem.

Salazar must have him on the Jenkins Juice

uhhh that's eamon coughlin you little shhit, you're worse than NBC.

My wife is a non - runner . She was watching and seemed happy that Jenkins won. Then they said, "Alberto Salazar coached." and she said, "Boo. If I had known that I would have rooted against him."
