Continuing the Vessey legend. And Willard, holy sh*t! What a final 50.
-
She was out with a sore jaw from chewing on gum.
-
Willard was brilliant, and patient....Vessey would have run great in that sort of race. Maybe she had to take a last minute dump.
-
willard just ran 1:58.80
-
haha, she probably missed the bus to the stadium or slept all day.
-
is she scheduled for any other big meets this year before worlds? i hope she can dip under 2:00 in time.
-
Well, she just spotted the rest of the field 45 minutes... a bold strategy, but we'll be calling her a genius if it pays off!
-
but seriously, does anyone know what happened? I'll be really upset if she doesn't hit the standard.

Why is everybody ripping on her?
I know she could have run some races smarter, but she's a heck of a runner and shows guts in the end. -
Piccione finished second again this week, in 1:58.99 this time. Last week Vessey outleaned her by .01 ftw. Ergo, Vessey would've ran 1:58.98 AT LEAST, thus qualifying for Worlds. Might've even outleaned Willard by .01 for a 1:58.79. Either way, she would've qualified for Worlds--time-wise, anyway. So there.
But anyone know why Vessey was a DNS? -

Why is that funny, exactly? We'll never have to worry about you missing a scheduled race in Europe, that's for sure. -
lol. she missed probably the most important meet of her season to date. pretty funny considering she was all set to run it yesterday. i can only imagine what happened to prevent her from running.
-
Vessey suffered an ankle injury yesterday and played it safe today. Jesus, you people can be so callous at times.
