She was champing at the bit to go faster early in the race and a 61 close is impressive for an 8 second 1500m pr, so it seems clear to me that she can go even faster with a stronger field, maybe even break 4 this year.
Current 2023 US Outdoor List as far as I can tell:
1) 4:00.77 Josette Andrews
2) 4:03.08 Nikki Hiltz
3) 4:03.09 Cori McGee
4) 4:03.22 Addy Wiley
5) 4:05.35 Emma Coburn
I hope that Addy Wiley runs USAs and makes the World team. I'd have a lot more confidence in her results if she gets some serious drug testing at USAs/Worlds while still running around 4:03.
2nd place immediately came over and congratulated Addy
outside of that short interaction not a single competitor was shown on video after the race hugging, high-fiving, talking, etc. as they all were just trying to catch their breath in their own little world
Addy was in front of the interviewer less than 40 seconds after she finished

The whole vibe was flat considering all the PRs just set.
At the rate she is improving, we should soon be getting to see her reception among the pro ranks.....
