As of now the ESPN showing of the US Open at MSG only showed the high school boys mile while mentioning the girls. Sam Nadal set a MSG record and the slow boys race gets priority...come on

They had to make room for the 5 min human interest segment on the high jumper that no one knows.
They also didn't show the women's 500, but did show the men's. I think those were the only two races not shown.
the basketball game running long led to something being cut. features are the time sucks always. discussing Anna Pierce who is washed up didnt help either
Girls race was a blowout. The casual track fan just doesn't care about a 4:47 at The Garden if it's won by 7 seconds (4:47 doesn't mean a damn thing to them). They cant appreciate fast times, they have no context for what is fast. They can, unfortunately, appreciate Watkins stomping on some skinny kids in the last 160y. When three kids come in that close it makes for good TV. I was there last night. Frankly I was rooting against Watkins, but to be 100% honest he's a lot more TV friendly than Nadel. I mean that only in the sense that he looks and acts like an "athlete" (if you need proof look at the pictures of his nonsensical celebration). Nadel, although far more talented than anyone in the boys race, doesn't appeal to an average viewer who's expecting an "Athlete". I also heard via the grape vine Zavon is a pretty good football player. People like that, it makes him interesting, more interesting than all the skinny kids who the average viewer cheated off during calc class back in '96.
Also, girls race takes more time.
Welcome to Show Biz, kids.
A higher jumper no one knows? Jessie Williams is the defending World Champion. Maybe you should pay more attention to the sport and you would know who he is.
Are any of the broadcast races available for viewing anywhere? My DVR recorded the probowl. :-(
The Girls HS Mile should be replaced by the Girls HS Bake Off anyway.
Last year they showed the entire girls race and then the last 30 yards of the guys, so I guess this is supposed to even it out??? ESPN is a bunch of idiots anyways.
Go Sam Nadel!!!
