Official 2024 NCAAs Day 2 Discussion Thread - Does Valby go for 30:40? Does Leo N get the WR?

Is there any pain with? She doesn’t seem to show it, if so.

With questionable info like saying the last lap was 62 when it was 72.

Nobody says that

It smooths out some when she gets down in the 71-72’s.

Roe is a baller. She wanted an honest race.

Had a previous issue with numbness in her foot or lower leg - looked gimpy in her 2023 5k.

Chris Chavez noticed it too.... is that legal?

The craziest thing about the interview was them talking about how great hayward is when it’s completely empty

Let me guess. You probably made fun of Forrest Gump when he had his leg braces, too.

Winning without pushing it what you get in an empty stadium

Update: it was not as interesting as we thought lol

Good pict. I’m thinking they maybe aren’t Vaporfly’s though; need more picts.

Hilda PB’d.

Are we going to see a protest from the first heat?

I looked it up and you’re right: the expression is “haters gon’ hate.” I knew it was something like that I just got the words turned around.

I think 25mm is currently WA’s cutoff on the track. But as I said earlier, this race was not planned to go into her WA ranking, if ever challenged for their requirements.

I will explain this to you. I am an old guy who had great support and respect, from little league baseball through college track- because that’s how it is for boys. It was great. I cannot imagine my life without it. The reason that I care about the language we use with girls and women athletes is because it shows them what we think about their participation. Participating in a sport can be such a life enhancing experience. I want all women, like my daughters and the girls and young women I coached, to have full support and encouragement to be, simply, ATHLETES.I want them to never doubt that they ARE the real Longhorns, (or the real Wildcats or Eagles or Devils or whatever), and that they can compete hard without being reminded they are “young ladies”. They are not a junior version of the real thing. They too, are the real thing- hard-working athletes who can get all the physical and social benefits of athletics.

In this case, “sacking up” means to think about how the other half of the population can have full access to this great world that we experienced without a second thought.

Yeah fun personality or not, this is disrespectful to Roe who did most of the work in that race.

Some humility goes a long way

I like her, and enjoy watching her run, but I do quite seriously wonder if she isn't a little way on the autism spectrum, at least mildly. Certainly strikes as slightly neurodivergent in some way, as are many accomplished people.

I think the looking to the right and face pulling was at her coach who was telling her to wait, when she just wanted to get on with things.
