re: julie

I think that pushes Price to number two on the all time high school list. Also second on the all time Pennsylvania list.

re: mcgato

She'd have a shot at number 1 if she didn't run like such a moron. She should probably realize at some point that an 800 is 2 full laps, not a lap and a half.

re: Scooter Bug

Anothe rbig PR for Rowbury. You'd have to think she's got a legitimate shot at making the team in both the 800 and 1500 if the schedule permits.

Great run for Teter, too, off of such limited training.

re: Demon Deacon

why would she jeopardize her shot at the 1500 by doing 3 rounds of the 800 before the 1500 rounds start? it's not like she has a shot at a medal in the 800 but she does in the 1500. do you think she will go for the 5000 as well?

re: big brown dump

I ran the 800 in '84 and PR'd twice with 2 sub-2:00's. It was tiring, but the sub-2:00's boosted confidence. In my opinion, I'd like to see her sub-2:00 in the 800 to have a chance internationally. You need to be able to finish in 60 or better in the tactical races, heats, etc.

re: big brown dump

No need to be a jerk, big brown dump. I was positing a question. Obviously she's not "going to run the 5000", too. 800/1500 is a legitimate double, been done many a time. Any I don't see Rowbury, who's lopped a few seconds off of her 800 PR, as having topped out at 800m just yet. Her chances internationally are not much worse in the 800m than in the 1500m, in my opinion. We'll see though; she's in uncharted territory.

Always interesting seeing old posts like this. Now Rowbury will contest the 5000m at the Trials.
