Go Uceny! With the depth of the USA women in the 800/1500, the World Champs trials and Olympic trials in the next two years should make for some great races.
is Burka now banned in France?
With Uceny getting there little by little, if Rowbury ever dips under, we could have 5 active women under 4 minutes for 1500. Ridiculous.

Very good. You CAN quit your day job!
WOW this is ridiculous!!! Break out race by Uceny! Nice race by Britain's Dobriskey too.
USA womens mid distance is at a VERY high point right now. With Barringer's sub 4 last year, things are really stepping up.

Looks like an evenly paced race at 64 second quarters for the top 3.
Did the rest of the pack fall off in the last 300 meters?
I was beginning to think that Langat was unbeatable this year. Especially after her 1:57 at Pre last week.
Interesting to see how a fast, honest pace seems to have an affect on the superior kickers at 1500 meters
Great stuff!
Great result for the one and only Lisa Dobriskey - she's been out of shape for months, but gets the job done just in time for major championships! Let's see what she can do in the Europeans in a couple of weeks.
Imagine how great she would be if she could manage to stay healthy for an entire season.
Unbelievable what she can accomplish in a short period of training.
Uceny doesn't surprise me. Under that colored-candy-choker she is ripped and fit.

Yeah - the great thing about Dobriskey (unlike lots of other British mid and long distance runners over the years, with exceptions of course) is that she has a vicious kick over the final 150m...
