Men's 800m (6 AUTOS per heat) basically eliminating 1:47 high people

Men's 110H (no one important will get eliminated, Grant will jog)

Women's 1500 (7 AUTOS per heat) basically eliminateing 4:08 people

Women's 200 (Cutting the Field from 29 to 27!, aka only 2 women will be eliminated)

Men's 400H (5 AUTOS per heat) basically eliminating non-sub 50 sec runners)

Women's 400H (5 AUTOS per heat) basically watching Sydney walk over the hurdles

Women's 3KSC (only track final, least exciting track final of the meet)

Men's 200 (6 AUTOS per heat, another pointless round)

Men's 5k (will only eliminate the fringe 13:20/high teens guys)

re: most pointless day

How else do you propose they do it?

There has to be a day for the 1st Rounds.

The only arguable adjustment would be increasing the amount of people eliminated after the 1st round.

Also, we get to see Lyles, SML, ShaCarri, Fisher, Hoppel, and more, so at least it's star-studded.

All women in the 200m make it through because there were 2 scratches 🤡🌍

At least it's not the most boling day, that would be terribly boring.

this aged poorly. women’s steeple has been the race of the meet so far

re: most pointless day

It's not pointless for those competing.

Did you forget about them?

re: Mo Farma

I enjoyed what I saw. Good racing in the 5k and 800. Kessler looked good. Hocker looked sharp.

I think the OP was simply referring to the amount of jumping involved in the steeple, compared to all of the flat races.

re: nitpick

Welp it was a long day sitting through endless rounds but totally worth it to have seen the W Steeple final, IMO the best race of these Trials so far, even better than the M 1500.

And the women’s steeplechasers took that personally.

Obviously you keep unqualified athletes out of the field. Easy!

I don't think there's one event where at least half the entrants have the standard. Not one! Not even 100m.

You want to see all the sub-elites get their "chance," fine, but it's boring AF and makes for another week long burning money pit. Noone else wants to see it.

re: most pointless day

You were wrong about most of this. The Women's 3000 was high drama with insane times, the Women's 1500s were entertaining, and Val Allman's discus fest was fun.

I do think that the first round of three-round events should be repechage where the slowest runners try to run their way into the second round and the faster runners don't have to compete.

You want to talk about a snoozer? Today sucks ass! Fortunately, the next 2 days after that will be a lot better.
