both US 400 men out in heats

What event? Hoppel and Harris made it out of the heats.

400. The event that Patterson and Faust competed in.

It is pretty embarrassing.

No one cares about indoors.

Yes, that is bad. We're supposed to be the best 400 nation in the world.

It's funny- when my kids were in high school they used to say that when a kid says- "everyone drinks" or "everyone takes drugs" or "everyone failed the test".

What it really means is your kid drinks, takes drugs and failed the test.

Just exactly who is "everyone"? You? Unbelievable.

Both ran in the 47s. ??? Boling fell apart in the final straight of the US champs, finishing 2nd to last, and ran like 46.09 secs.

Is the track in Glasgow real slow for 400 meter races?

It's Boling....somebody needs to help that young man or he should start using that degree. Maybe he just doesnt get it?

This is just one thing makes indoors so much better than outdoors, anything can happen when sprints aren't run in lanes and it's a short track.

Patterson ran as a fool ; didn´t see a competitor coming from behind to catch him on the line.

Faust just wasn´t better (far away from both a Q and a q).

Huh?

Patterson is talented but inconsistent. I wonder how his work ethic is. His Outdoor 400m pr is still from Virginia Tech in 2021. I would've though he would be a 43 guy by now with his talent.

Faust seems like a strength runner as a 400m runner especially given his 200m pr. He doesn't have enough speed so he automatically assumes he'll lose the break and tries to come back the second. I think this time he misjudged it and struggled to pass. He might do well to try the 400mh or go up to the 800.

WHERE is Michael Norman? I used to think he was the future of the 400m

Having to switch lanes in a sprint is goofy, the banks make maintaining speed more annoying and the tactics involved make it more like an 800m. Outdoors is way superior, but it is a little interesting to see how people adapt for indoors, in a "hey that's a cool practice run" kinda way.

I hope your kids got the help they needed.

I think if Bassitt would’ve had a better USAs and made the cut for the open 400m he’d have been back in the finals like last year. He’s on the 4x4 so hopefully he proves me right and runs a good split, he’s a championship guy

Sad day for US 400m runners. On a better note, at least it is at the indoor meet and not the Olympics.
