Who's the #1 seed in the mile in D1? Oh, that's right, she's right behind Wiley. The rest of the D1 runners (and one professional) are too far away to even be in focus.

So what? I'm not wrong. You can't get by with a slow as molasses 5 minute mile or 10 minute 3k at the D1 level, so you don't see runners doing quintuples in D1
12:25 - mile final 1:25 - 600 final 2:10 - 800 final 2:45 - 3000 final 4:20 - DMR final
Okay let’s do predictions for tomorrow. Disclaimer: I’m probably one of the most vocal people on LR regarding the whole HU situation.
Mile - Win. No question about it
600 - Win. I think if she runs 1:29 again that should be more than enough.
800 - Win. 45 minutes should be enough time to recover and run 2:10. Highly doubt she would need a sub 2:10 effort to win
3000 - 3rd. Don’t really have a justification. 3 races in 80 minutes is just insane.
DMR - Win. If Addy gets the baton anywhere close to the front pack they’ll be fine. Even after 4 races, 95 minutes of recovery should be enough for a sub 5 final 1600, which is probably enough to snag the win.

I hope she wins all 5. It would be a pretty darn impressive accomplishment, so I'll be rooting for her.
Do these athletes get tested after they win nationals for NAIA?
No. It’s “random”. I finished All-American a few times for my NAIA team and I was never tested. I have teammates that DNF’d their event at nationals and they were tested. It’s a complete joke.

Looks like she got through all the heats, now just finals.

Your experience shapes your view of course but Drug Free Sport is contracted to test at the NAIA Championships and they do test athletes who win and athletes who finish last. There is a random aspect of it but also testing of high placing athletes that isn't random.
However, the NAIA doesn't test at every national championships. The national championships that drug testing occurs at is random each year.

The moderators need to come up with a policy here. If they are going to allow an unregistered poster who appears to have a vested interest to start thread after thread about this athlete despite the ongoing and egregious HU scandal that this athlete is at the very heart of, then people on here should be allowed to talk about the scandal, which includes the very serious doping allegations that have been made against this athlete's coaches/surrogate family. A celebratory thread about this athlete that suppresses all discussion of the relevant scandal is obscene. Postscript: And it is clearly, crudely coordinated. Any critical post is immediately voted down by one or two anonymous posters from a couple of IP addresses.

I’m confused. Addy is a generational talent right?
Set
How does jogging 4 events and a relay advance her as a runner? Advance her career?
Does anything she is doing over these three days make her a better runner?
would she not be better served doing a normal 800/mile/dmr combo and rip them and see what she is a capable of?
What shoe companies going wow you ran a 2:10 800 to score your team points let’s get you some money?
Let addy go all in a mile, 800, dmr anchor and see what she can do.
I just fail to see how how this set up is in Addy’s best interest? i don’t know much about naia track but these girls are not close to her…
move to D1 or go pro and let’s see if she can do this at the level needed to be an Olympian.
It doesn’t, but not every meet has to advance your career as a runner. It can be easy to forget that track is a team sport. I admire runners who double, triple, quadruple in events to help their team win. I think it would be a little selfish not to.
