49.2!
49.2!
So she drops 2.45 seconds in one year and nobody here is saying anything? Interesting.
Nickisha Pryce was at the same program and got way more suspicion here when she ran sub-49 at NCAAs

Relax. There is a big difference between the training at Penn and the training at Arkansas.
When someone runs THAT fast, I don't think it's enough to just use 1 decimal ...
She ran 49.24, second fastest time in the world right now. In order to put it in the right context compared to the current WR of 49.17, two decimals seem in order.
Ok, I agree on the 2 decimal points
also this young lady is no Johnny come lately she has done quite a few noteworthy things in her career

She ran 50.17 last year outdoors and got 6th at the Olympic Trials. She very well could have been on one of the 4x4s (regular or mixed) at the Olympics and have an Olympic Gold medal right now. Unfortunately for her, Gabby Thomas and Sydney McLaughlin knocked her out of the relay pool.
This year she is in easier classes and has better coaching and training partners.
There are far more suspicious athletes at this meet than Whittaker.

Sydney runs 48.75 last year though so it's reasonable to play in relay ahead of her.

Whatever that means.
She'll be just another former Arkansas 400m girl that does NOTHING on the world stage. You heard it here first.
Also, I'm sure that the Arkansas program is utilizing the latest in sodium bicarbonate therapies for dealing with lactic acid.

Are you alluding to Britton Wilson? You are aware what she has had to deal with over the past few years, right?

That's no surprise. So are the runners from most other universities.
She is a beast. She has lats that would put most dudes to shame.
At least one of the Whittakers had a good meet- I cannot believe no one is talking about Juliette's choke job in prelims. She looked tragically bad out there

FYI, Juliette Whittaker has been dealing with an injury.
It’s insulting to the coaches at Penn to say that now she has better coaching at Arkansas. She ran 54.74 in high school, improved to 49.90 at Penn. I’d say that very good coaching and a good training environment at Penn.
Also, can we please stop the drug comments on everyone that improves. It only hurts our sport!
Isabella did not improve to 49.90s at Penn. She ran that time indoors at the 2025 SEC champs after six months coaching under Chris Johnson at Arkansas. She transferred from Penn to Arkansas last year in order to move to a different level. She has been open about this. She was 5th in the 2024 NCAA outdoor champs behind the supeersweep of FOUR Arkansas runners, three of whom went to the Olympics - Pryce (JAM), Brown (USA) and Anning (GBR). Britton Wilson has been injured for two years, but will be back. Anning is likely to medal at the Worlds this weekend.
You're wrong! Nickisha Pryce was ill at the Olympics, Amber Anning came 5th in the 400m final ran a British Record and returned home with two 4x4 bronze medals and some of the fastest overall splits. KK Brown was part of the world record breaking 400m mxd relay team and OLY silver medallists and ran in the heat of the 4x4 women's to earn gold. Britton has been injured and will return this season. Who are you talking about?

The coaches at Arkansas have trained many of the fastest women in NCAA history in the 400, including the 2 fastest women in American history indoors. The coaches at Penn have not done that. Those are the facts whether you like them or not.

We aren't talking about it because Juliette Whittaker didn't choke, she's been injured. But you wouldn't know that since you are a "Master of None".
