      • Only a second of the HSR- and judging from wind marks for sprints, conditions were less than ideal. What was his previous PR?

      • His previous PR was 1:50.1 from the prelims the day before. Before that, he had run 1:50.3 I believe. Making a 2.5 second jump like that is phenomenal. He ran 1:51 last year as a sophomore.

      • He ran a really smart race. The guy from Arkansas really took it out, but Elijah stayed tucked in and made his big move with about 150 to go. He did look like he had more in the tank if needed.

        We are going to be represented well in Poland.

        Why does it say the world record is 1:42 by Kaki? It's 1:41.11 by Wilson Kipketer.
        It also lists the American record as 1:44.9 by Jim Ryun.
        They need to get it right. They are so gay. LOL. Beastly. Sick.
