Calling it now, Amy Weissenbach PR's tonight

Why are you talking about yourself in the 3rd person, Amy?

Normally I'd agree with all three of those, but can they do it in 100+ degree temps? I guess we'll see.... I hope so!

is that Baxter doesn't break 10:10 for 2 miles.

She's not coming out in 57, I can tell you that much for free

last year she ran her 2:02 with a 57 first lap. I bet she goes out in 59 and closes in 61 for a 2:01.

The meet doesn't begin until 6 p.m. later tonight. She'll definitely run more even splits this year though, I say 59 first lap and 61 second second lap, resulting in a 2:00 win.

In their local paper today:

Great article! Whatever both run, I'm sure it's going to be something to watch. They are a well-coached and very, very talented pair, not to mention the amount of experience both have in bit races like these. Expect efforts close to or ahead of their 4:40 and 2:02 PR's.

I'm calling it now Champus and Weissenbach will get slower once they get to Stanford, almost all of thier runners do. If they were really truly smart they would have both picked Oregon. Oh well some people like losing and some don't.

While I think it would be smarter to go out in 59, I doubt she will. Last year it was 57 and last week she went 58-67 for a 2:05 win...

I bet Amy and Cami both just go for the win and save themselves for the 4x400. They crossed the finish line first last year but lost by a lame DQ. They still have national invitationals and Oly trials to bust a PR.

hey @pac12fan....no on ever responds with "Oh wow" after you say you are going to Oregon, almost anyone with a pulse can get in there. There are plenty of success stories for runners at Stanford....there is a reason why athletes like Andrew Luck stay around an extra season to get their degree. It's worth more than saying "I ran at Oregon" after you graduate.

Two things. One, I doubt they'll save up for the 4x400m, it's 400 meters? Running all-out in their individual events will hardly affect them for a quarter. If anything, it'll get their legs going and help them run faster in the 4x4. Second, we won't see them in the Olympic Trials in three weeks if they don't run fast enough to qualify. I'd lay down money both are going for not only the win but fast times as well tonight.

When's Chapus going to get in a fast 1500 to qualify for the OT? She's run 4:19 this year but she'll have to get down around 4:15 or faster to qualify. Next week is the Dream Mile so that won't count either. Mary Cain has the best chance in the 1500 right now with her 4:16, but she will probably have to go faster too.

Is there a live feed for the finals tonight? Can someone post a link here?

Chapus gets her clock cleaned on the last lap, finishes 5th.

did she fall or something? and then stop for a cup of coffee? what the hell?

She'll take it out hard (57ish) the first 400 meters and hold it together this year, breaking her own national federation record of 2:02.04.

... teammate Cami Chapus will win the 1600m in sub-4:40 and Sarah Baxter of Simi Valley will break the national sophomore 3200m record tonight as well.

Girls distances is by the best events in at the California state meet in 2012!

Discuss.

You lose on Cami Chapus, she got schooled by Cody Johnson's girlfriend ;-) (Nikki Hiltz).

I like to watch... wrote:

Att provided a live feed last year. Time Warner /SoCAl has it this year is declined to provide a life feed...delayed broadcast, probably only in SoCal...next week.

It was great having a live feed last year.

Weissenbach goes to the front, passes 400 in 59.39, then pulls away for first in 2:05.70, 3.6 seconds in front of 2nd place Camacho.
