If they tweeked something, cramped or whatever then they absolutely shouldn't attempt an all out 100m. If they were fine and dodged competition then sure that's crappy, but the former is most likely. If they did race and injure themselves then they would race even less this season. Get real.
unreal, imagine paying your money to see female 100m final which was one of the highlights of meeting.
What's more annoying to me is to leave those lanes open. A national broadcasted event without any DQs should have a system in place to assign the lane to the next qualifier or something. It's just kind of silly to show that.

It's such a bad look. These athletes have no respect for the sport or the fans. 😔
Oh please relax. It happens in all sorts of disciplines. From Broadway plays, the opera, the ballet, airplanes, the hygienist at the dentist... Is it disappointing? Sure. but It's not the end of the world. Get some perspective.
One problem is in the 100 final one woman ran faster than 11.07. At Sacramento Texas had 4 woman run faster than that in the quarter finals.
three women broke 51 in the 400. Arkansas had 4 women 50.60 or quicker
Some of the Texas and Arkansas Women could go Pro if they want to, Julien Alfred of Texas and Britton Wilson are locks to turn Pro and some others have a good chance to be Pros
My guess: none of them felt like running 2 rounds in a day, in a relatively irrelevant early season meet. They came, verified their form, got their fees, and bounced.

is that a good way to operate such a meeting, or should fans be entitled to see what they paid for.

Depends when they withdraw.
If less than 30 minutes for example before the start, you can't ask other runner to start without enough time for warm up

They should have A Race and B Race instead of having the prelims and the final.

I agree with this. Richardson had some cramps or something and I'm sure TaLou had something that was bothering her.
But- the star could false start or falter in the prelims and not make the final.
Why is Athing Mu insistent on being visible (trying to steal attention from interviews) but not competing? I feel like if you aren’t running, let those who are be the focus.

But they knew going in there were two heats and a final.
