Wiley advanced in her heat of the 1500 prelims in an easy 4:35.83. She will compete in the 4x800 prelim later today and then the 800 prelims tomorrow. All three finals will be on Friday.
The future of American milers looks bright, and her name is Addy Wiley!
You obviously don't like the new WA rules. Guys will move on with 4 minute 1500s. Did you notice the dirrerence in the 10k in the 2 regions last night?
Maybe you don't realize that Addy had a chance to run at a prestigious D1 school but opted to reneg on her commitment to go run for her coaches, neither of whom are now actually coaching her current school for reasons that I don't need to point out.
Maybe if she didn't spurn her original college decision, she'd be getting more attention because she'd be racing in meets that more people cared about.
If she wants to go pro, why doesn't she just go pro? Too hard to turn down those lucrative NIL deals from all those Fortune 500 companies based in Huntington, IN, I guess.
I said that Wiley would be a top 5 miler across all classes. You stated that Wiley's 1500m PR is 4:12.53, which would rank her at #20 this season on the D1 list. Not sure where you are getting top 5 from... I said mile and you referenced the 1500 instead. Her mile PR would ne number 2 in Division 1.
Wiley advanced to final of 800 in 2:11, 4x8 still to come. Tomorrow in finals she only has 1500 at 1pm and 800 at 2:50pm, so we may see a fast effort in one or both.
