Poor little kid, does it make you feel better to think that?

Looked very impressive. Got passed w/ 3 to go and didn't freak out like everyone else. Just calmly hung on to the back of the lead group then moved at the bell like a pro.
She didnt freak out because those who passed her didnt pick it up at all.
Ha, "I Want You Back"...they ARE going to play the entire MJ repertoire.

There it is. Just as I predicted (without the hoped-for sub15)
Katie McGregor, Ouch. This has not been a good season for her.
The pace was slow at the beginning, they let her do the work, then her competitors went to the front and totally screwed up the pace. Fast, slow, totally erratic. She really showed guts to be able to ignore all that and lay it down with a lap to go. Good racing. The times will come in berlin. Its way more important to see her be able to race with someone besides sally.
Robles up in the 110H. let's see if anyone can give him a race
he ran 13.06 in Monaco off a crappy start
I wish more track meets had music playing in the background.
WOW. Dangerous moment for Hooker. Pole came out of the box when he was pushing out up top. pole hit the camera.

Will Tyson Gay break Powell's stadium record of "only" 9.86? They're both in the race. What's the wind like there?
Yeah, that is not the kind of pole dancing anyone would really enjoy.
Funny how they played that cartoon "putting on the brakes" music after the false start.
