Dwight Stones has the unique skill of making even the most exciting race underwhelming. No passion. Manages to put some sort of negative spin into even the best of performances.
He just barely missed the title by 0.03 seconds! Dude has always had a killer kick. I'm sure he's bummed to have been so close to winning but he should be really proud of this one.
Washington executed great team tactics, if Waksom and Houser didn’t create that wall with 200 meters to go Essayi or Basten would’ve beaten them. Don’t think a Washington athlete wins 1500m outdoors unless they turn it up another notch.
Mile: I was skocked that no one moved with 600m to go, like they werent even trying. Is a protest coming? 0.03 sec and ran into Houser's backthrown arm. If it wasn't so close I wouldnt even mention it

My bad - wrong thread. This was in reference to Isaac Basten. Was literally in the thread dedicated to him but somehow it got put here.
Fastest year of the mile ever and the final is won in 4:03. Have to laugh.
Championship racing isn’t a time trial
And apparently all these folks completely forgetting about the distance runners are at ALTITUDE (which negatively affects performance). Sprinters/Jumpers LOVE altitude. Distance runners? Not so much.
Notice all the records being broken left and right in sprints and jumps? Circa 1968 Mexico City Olympics.
Notice all the records being broken left and right in distance? Nope. Not one.
Race results say it's already scored... Is there still a chance to protest that?

Lost by 0.03 to Houser who threw his arms out and slowed down at the line. Bastien actually looked like he bumped into his arms... wouldn't be shocked if there is a protest.

Just interviewed the mile champ. That will be up on YouTube shortly. As we are interviewing him, one of the UW guys was jumping up and down and making jacking off motions behind us and Houser could barely keep a straight face.
I didn't know college kids were still allowed to act like college kids in the 2023. I'm glad no one filmed it as it could have gone viral.
Better be careful talking bad about Dwight Stones. This site or the people running this site must be apart of his PR firm. They will cancel you if you express an opinion that goes against theirs. Tread lightly when telling the truth about how bad Dwight Stones is when it comes to commentating this or any meet he announces.....
