Jeter can still run the 100 at worlds if she runs something at the national meet, but as of right now, is not entered in the 200.
Or she can just appeal to Nike to get entry to worlds. I'm sorry, I meant appeal to USATF to get entry.[/quote]
Yeah, she can wait until Tarmoh makes the team and then tell her to get the f*** out because she's taking her spot.
Just looking at some results. Maybe I didn't see her, but why wasn't Felix in the 100? Anybody know?
what is the link to the live feed?

They should avoid showing the "crowd", no one is there.
I thought Des Moines wanted to host a Trials?
The crowds are always sparse for the first day and a half, but you might not get a full house even on Saturday. One day USATF will wake up and allow Philly, LA or NY to host the Champs.
Let's see...
NY epic fail on the DL meet.
LA epic fail at Home Depot Center.
Philly too broke to bid.
Stop blaming the cities, it is the country that doesn't care about the sport, including Des Moines that is too stupid...they offered jr. high and high school kids free tickets...
They needed to offer them busses and lunch and dinner.
That is where the supermarket money should have gone.
The only place that would put butts in the seats for today would be Eugene.
Even a week after NCAA's, I bet they get at least 5-6k today.
They just interrupted the jr women's 5k to show triple jumps.
Emily Stites, way out in front.

Felix entered but didn't declare for the 100. Too much partying and general time off after London, and her 100m race simply wasn't there--two races this year for 5th and 7th places. So they scratched. Concentrating on the 200m and relays.
3:48 at 1200m, no wonder she's way out in front.
will they catch her! this is great...
What is Stites' best 5k? Was it not good enough for seniors but she is just better than all Juniors?
Saw she was 10th at NCAAs.
hmmm. world class triple jumpers. olympic medalist triple jumperss.
vs.
some college freshman girl running lone laps around a track.
Typical bad camerawork, doesn't show how close the field is.
Lapping quite a few runners now, and in the heat.
12:21 with 3 to go, good time running all by herself in the heat.

I'm sure there are plenty of people interested in watching this race. Figure all of the teammates, friends, and families, of the competitors which adds up to hundreds of interested spectators!
16:13.77
The camerawork SUCKS big time.
Stites won by 48 seconds.
Splits were rare.
I'm starting my stopwatch for the 10k's.
5000 people were watching.
The women's 10k about ready to start.
