Women's 1500
A huge win and PB for Sage Hurta. Her pb before this was 4:01. I was thinking all along if she had any hope of making the US team this year it was in the1500, not the 800 as good luck beating the big 3 . Of course, if she did make the team, the odds of doing real damage were probably better in the 800.

Men's 1500 I'm glad to see Nuguse continuing to race and see him dominate. Why not burn it hot for the rest of the season? It's not like khe's got an xc season to get ready for. Same thing for Jager. The Jager of old wouldn't have been 9th in this race.

W 800 today looks strong. 6 of the 11!!, (watch for some jostling) have gone under 2 flat. Isn't U20 Worlds this weekend? By the end of the day, we could have 15 USA W under 2:00!!.
Sage's race was awesome. She is having a phenomenal season. The 53 / 1:58 400/800 speed would be a game changer at 1500. Will be interesting to see where she focuses given the strength of competition in the 800. She is 5th fastest in the US in both the 800 and the 1500. The US will get a 4th qualifier at the next worlds because of Mu's championship, but Houlihan isn't set to come back until 2025. Her 1:01.34 last 400 would have been 4th fastest at the US championships (albeit the US championships were run at a slower pace leading in.). I would think her superior 800 PR would give her the edge in a tactical race over the other competitors. Hopefully she can continue to grow stronger and faster.
The real "shout out" should go to Eric Holt..anyone who has seen him run...should know he must be as hard a worker in the sport that has ever lived!! 3:35.80 with his running style is nothing short of a testament to someone who is willing to work so frigging hard , that it must be mind blowingly(my own made up word lol) motivational!!
On the Letsrun.com home page, the following is written: " Yared Nuguse destroyed the likes of Holt, Prakel, Parsons and Jager won the men's race in 3:34.95." Bad sentence, of course. So Parsons, presumably Sam Parsons, ran the race? He's not in the results:

Allie Wilson just got the world standard in the 1500. She has improved a lot in the 1500 this year. Surprisingly good for someone who I thought was just a 800 runner.
This broadcast is deadly. In 1 hour of being on air we have seen what 6 100m heats and 2 400 races. To a total of maybe 3 min of action in an hour. No wonder people don't watch track.

Technically, 8 races in 50 minutes. One every 6 minutes. You kids these days.
