Is it really that important to cheat for the Pan Am Games?
Cheating at the Pan Am Games has a long and distinguished history. Many think the highlight was 1983, when 12 members of the US Team left the games rather than be drug tested.
USA! USA! USA!
Impressive effort by Laura Galvan!
The talent was always there. As an 18 year-old she ran a same-day double of 4:25 & 16:30.
M800. Hoppel 3rd at the bell 49.7 fast
Hoppel rigged badly, 1.44.27 for Arop Canada (Miss. St.), nice p.r.
Ali Ostrander up next in Steeple, looks like she & 3 others are in hunt for the medals as other entrants will need big p.r.s to break into Top 3. Cool there again - 60 degrees, not much wind.
W Hammer went to form, USA 1, 2. Craddock leads the Triple J. after 3 rounds.
Damn. Ostrander a late scratch. I'm bailing, didn't get my run in this morning. Men's Steeple and both 4 X 4 relay finals are to come in the next hour. ESPNU has the TV coverage.
How do we lose to Columbia in M 4 X 400?!? - tho kudos to them for running a legit fast time

Not surprised she scratched. She sounded like she was feeling the effects of racing since January at USAs and was going to need to take a short break before building for worlds.
Would have been in the mix for the win for sure at Lima. Opening up the international competition with a win would have been cool but I guess it's asking a lot to be racing from Jan to October. Stay healthy for worlds makes sense.
