Olivia markevich Wins Steeple

Hurdle form is abysmal. She stuttered for 6-ish steps before every barrier. But I guess that 8:50 flat speed over only 30" hurdles means she'll win

That was awesome! What an amazing move on the back straight! 9:25 is legit! Welcome to the big-leagues!

KARINAUSKAITE Ran a gutsy race from the gun and a well-deserved 2nd place!

Way to go McCabe! (Sure would have liked you to have gotten the win). 3rd!

Your title needs help.

Truly the most competent peoppe there are

A quietly brilliant performance, #3 all-time almost on the down low. I hope she continues rolling in USAs and beyond like Wayment did last year.

Yeah, she kind of ruined Dwight's narrative, I see why he as a former high jumper thinks that technique is all that matters, but in distance running: big engine > good technician.

Her dad Ron Markezich was a good runner back in the day.

Only decent. Spikes have changed that somewhat, but his fastest time was 28:44.

Right? See all the new steeplechasers coming from East Africa. Some of them have atricious technique.

But if Ms. M. can improve her technique a bit, she's a top 3 threat.

But still faster than you…🙄

My 5000m time has more world athletics points than his 10000m.

I ran with him some when he was the CIO of Microsoft. Won the Millrose Games in High School, 11th NCAA cross-country as I recall.

He placed in the top two or three in New York state meets in track and cross country a few times. He had one obstacle during those years, the monster known as John Trautmann.

RM was a really fine runner and, as far as can tell, a fine runner dad to his talented daughter. And she is arguably even better as a runner, and she, her family, and her coach(es) have discovered a nice path for her in the Valby/Tuohy era. I’m also guessing she’s very smart and has a lot going for her even if she can’t really find world-class steeple form.

So if castigating her does something for you, I can’t stop you from doing it. But I doubt that will stop her from having an amazing life.

I think most people here think she did incredibly well. Her form could improve, for sure. That will only help her results.

Great run in that heat, glad to see her get a title.

Oh, yeh, and I ran 26:00 for a 10K 👌
