Georgia's Elena Kulichenko is 5 for 5 in the high jump and has cleared 1.96 (6'5"). Collegiate record is 1.99 (6'6-1/4"). Meet record is 1.97 (6'5-1/2").
1.99 isn’t the collegiate record. Arkansas’ Rachel Glenn leapt 2.00 meters (6-6-3/4) to win the 2024 indoor NCAA championship.
She also seems to have a problem whenever she gets challenged or passed - full mental collapse.
Rose didn't have a "full mental collapse". It's called going out too fast. Even if she was very mentally strong she can't handle going out in 56 flat.
My point is part of the problem is she can't adjust and is likely why she went out too hard - if she's not in front she folds. It's good idea to have more than one race plan but she seems to have only one.
Four sparkling distance finals today. Some or all will be unforgettable.
1500m
Will Sophie O'Sullivan or Klaudia Kazimierska storm away from the field? Will Congdon, Scatchard & May become the most unexpected podium trio in collegiate 1500m history? Can Appleton execute decisively, make all the right moves and notch the biggest win of her career? Can the Ducks go 1-2-3?
800m
Thinking about this race makes my head spin. Roisin rising to the top wouldn't shock me; nor would any other result, really.
3000SC
The biggest uncertainty about the steeple final concerns the exact historic times the winner, runner-up and 3rd placer will throw down. Three future Olympians in full flow should be a treat to watch.
5000m
Kosgei has been rock-solid since early April and I don't expect her to struggle nearly as much as Kipkurui did yesterday. Nonetheless, I'd welcome a proper scrap up top deep in the race...and enjoy seeing a chunk of the field take it to Hartman as well.

I think you could make the argument though that this is a mental issue. She needs to learn how to control herself in that 400m — she consistently rips the first lap in finals and then blows up. Once or twice and you can chalk it up to tactics, but I can’t imagine her coach told her to go out in 56.1. That’s called not keeping your cool.
