Christian Taylor and Tianna Madison in the 400 is nuts. They would probably be beaten by the respective fastest 800m runners if those half milers moved down.
Did the OP ever decide if OT means Olympic Trials or Olympic Team. If it is Olympic Trials I think Madison could qualify for the trials in the 400. Her 100/200 speed is a given. 52.60 for the B standard in the quarter. I think she could hit it.
Taylor is one of the best athletes in T&F at the moment. World class in the LJ and TJ and pretty damn good in the 400. PR of 45.46 from last April. His PR in the 200 is 20.76 and is .01 off the B standard for the Trials. Thats 3 events there and .01 off a 4th. If you put 10 hurdles in his way or a bar over his head I bet he could make those events as well. The guy is that good.
On a side note Taylor and Eaton are the most exciting and dynamic male athletes in US T&F.
