Lots of carnage in women's 800. Willis and Gorriaran out. Surprisingly NAUs Congdon had small q in both mile and 800, doing it as economically as possible.
Carly Thomas a notable casualty as well. The classic case of the second heat letting the pace dawdle with the q times a clear target.
Smashed it. Valby the absolute class of the field. Roe did that the hard way. Admire the guts though. 15.15 and dying badly. Lucky to get 2nd. A week or two back she ran 15.12 easily at altitude (Lubbock).

I get this in other meets; like a BU meet where you're clearly out from getting the standard and others are going for standards/records, but all of those athletes are racing for points for their team. I'm less bothered by the lane 2 thing with that in play.
Essayi has to be the softest runner ever or something else is going on. Multiple times now in great position he’ll just step off the track on the bell lap.
Dude is soft. Wins everything that doesn’t matter.
Plenty of time left to get it. She’s definitely in the mix now. That looked very easy.
yes and no... would have been a huge help to get it. Now she has to add one more big effort, probably involving travel to the west coast between now and NCAA and the Trials.
Valbymania cannot be suppressed, diminished, deleted, or taken for granted.
We Expected Great Things, And Parker Delivered!!!
We all need an elliptical or Arc trainer .. whatever she’s got.. incredible to do this on that training w/ such low mileage. It’s absolutely great though. A whole new era and training ethos has been ushered in.
Someone needs to explain to HO and DL that if they can close in 31, they had too much left in the tank. If they are more aggressive earlier, they go 2-3.
