Absolutely going to win USATFs. That's about a 1:56.4 800m which would make her US #3 all-time behind Mu and Wilson. No other American has run faster than 1:58.12 this year. All she has to do is stay on her feet and she's heading to Tokyo. Today locked her place in the Diamond League final.
She now has one 2nd and two 3rds at Diamond League events and she is only 21. I think we can begin the "Diamond League Win Watch." I also think Mu's 800 American Record could be in jeopardy by 2027.
Now, does she run London in 8 days or just head home to rest up? Haven't seen the field yet but if it's not too strong, possibly go for the win and $10K.

I think she has a better chance at the 1500m American Record rather than the 800m record. But overall I agree with your sentiment.

For what it's worth, Mu's record is worth 1254 WA points and Houlihan's is 1246 points. Ultimately, I think over her entire career she has the ability to break the 800m, 1000m, 1500m, mile, and 2000m, but admittedly it will be unlikely to hold them all. The point levels of the American Records:

She has been a little up and down in her performances this year.
