Holy Guacamole!!
This performance is so exciting! US distance runners are on the move! Happy to see Anna Pierce get a SB as well.
This is her year... wow. Excited for her at Worlds next year. This is insane.
Pierce was distraught over her recent performances. Looks like she's back on track.
Does anyone know if they are running any more meets?
American record watch begins. Get in a race with the big Russian and an in-shape Semenya and 1:56.40 could go.
Huge time for Alysia. I thought she was gone when she got injured for that year or two but she's back so much better than she ever was for her. Is this two diamond league wins in a row?
There's a break now while there are European Championships as such. Not everyone is sure of their plans but I'd expect to see her racing again in two weeks, or at most three.
There should be a Worlds in 2010. It's stupid to not have a three WCs and then a Summer Olys.
Apparently her next race is Aug. 14 in London
She went back to her college coach, Tony Sandoval, and it has definitely paid off this year. Congrats to Alysia and Tony!
