Britton Wilson 49.40 new collegiate record at 400 already in the heats at SECs!
It's BrittonMANIA BABY!
Slow Tuohy!
Hey, I’m a fan of Wilson - she is an amazing runner! But WTF does this have to do with Tuohy? It’s time to stop with the complaints about Tuohy fans. Seems the haters are the ones causing all the issues.
I think the OP is referencing the excessive hype given to Tuohy. Her slow 10k got 14 pages of comments. It’s time we pay more attention to the most impressive American woman running in the NCAA today: Britton Wilson!
Now THIS is a runner worthy of the hype! Breaks her own record of 49.48 that she set indoors at NCAAs in Albuquerque.
Only US runners faster:
1) Sanya Richard-Ross 48.70
2) Valerie Briscoe 48.83
3) Chandra Cheeseborough 49.05
4) Allyson Felix 49.26
5) Jearl Miles-Clark 49.40
As great as this gal is, there are two current US athletes, one an 800m gal, and the other a 400m hurdler, who both will likely break into this list any time they choose. So the future of the female US 4 x 4 team is bright.

Big fan of Britton! I’m guessing the extra attention on Tuohy is because distance runners also compete in XC, which seems to garner just as much/if not more attention than outdoor track.
That, and most people on here seem to be invested in distance running.

McLaughlin definitely and I hope Mu does as well. Time for team USA to take back that 4x4 world record.
I would guess that she won't run quite as hard since she has the 400h final 1 hour later. She probably ran the prelim hard since that was the only race she had to run today. Tomorrow will be about winning the open and the hurdles and probably anchoring the 4x4

That's a tough WR. It was done at a time when almost everyone was juiced to the gills. The testing then hadn't caught up to the masking.
She still has nCAA , usatf and Budapest coming up. No sense wasting too much powder now. sat she can cruise 400 & 400h and leave something she'll need in 4x4, unless hogs already won by then.
