This was her stated goal at beginning of the season, looks like she on her way to a good season, maybe an 800 PR?

57.5+59.5 for a 1:57 easy!!
Booooommm!
Vessey is definitely back!
At her age to be running near your 400m PR is a great sign; I would not be surprised to see her back to running 1:57s again. Between Vessey, Martinez and Ajee Wilson, the USA should be looking good this year.
I believe she said that is her PR

There's a couple of people you're missing, namely the indoor world champion in the event, and Alysia Montano. If you're Brenda would you rather go against Simpson, Cain, and Rowbury, or would you rather go against Chanelle Price, Vessey, Montano, and Wilson. I'm guessing the former now, given where Price and Vessey are.
Maggie just became officially a world class 400/800. Her 400 time is good enough to be listed on the IAAF list for that event.
good to see this. a 400/800 runner suffering through 800/1500 training usually gonna end up going backwards.
if she stick to her strengths, her best racing is ahead of her.
Montano is having a kid this year.
Roesler has a 400 PR from HIGH SCOOL that is only half a second back! She only runs relay legs now, but has run 51/52 there as I recall. I think that once she turns pro, she will step up, time wise.
Here is how I see the time contenders for 2014/15:
1:57 (or better): BMart, Vessey, Wilson, Cain, Price
1:58: Roesler , Beckwith, Grace, Weissenbach as a wild card, as Stanford seems to have upped their game
Link to any pics?

Montano is not racing this year and I'm still not sold on Price being more than a low 1:59 type. Also, I don't see Cain, Rosler and a few others running faster than 1:59 this year either.
Sorry no pics, but I was at the meet and MV's racing outfit was outrageous! Basically a one-piece thong swimsuit. She did run a great 400m in it.
Her pr was 53.74 before the year started from 2010. Her 53.32 already run this year was her pr before this.

No way Price gets down to 1:57 this season. She JUST broke 2 minutes last week after 2 years as a professional. Dropping another 2.5+ seconds off her PR would be ridiculous over the course of a season.
This is a dramatic drop for Vessey and certainly puts her in position to run 1:57 again, but then you don't know whether she was doing the kind of training that she has this year back then, or trying then to run a fast 400m, so you don't know whether this speed will translate well. Good luck to her!
Cain ran 1:59.51 in her second try at a fast 800m last year, at Pre, to be the first sub 2 high schooler, so you would think that she is capable of going quite a bit faster this summer. High 1:57 would not be a stretch. She probably has 53-54 speed but far superior endurance. And for Brenda Martinez to win World Bronze, you have to think that she can break 1:58 with her improved endurance this year. It will be fun to see how much faster Ajee' can run this year (1:58.21 pr?). She may well be a 1:56 runner by the next Olympics. I wouldn't think that Simpson or Rowbury would be in the conversation at 800m unless they changed their training to emphasize more speed.
didn't Price run a massive mile PB at Penn Relays?
so now Vessey PBs in the 400m...the Brojos have to be absolutely salivating at the potential to drop their coveted "in our mind, strength = speed" line in a write-up if Price takes down Vessey at 800m.

You may be right.
She's back with Greg Brock who coached her to her 1:57 PR a few years back. I believe he had her doing 400/800 training.
When she switched to Rose Monday I heard she was doing more 800/1500 training.

I've noticed some things that are almost universal about people who have "coach" anywhere in their forum handle:
1. You're ignorant as shit.
2. You refer to athletes by their first names as a means of pretending you are buddies with them.
3. You're on this forum far to frequently to be coaching anything, other than your non-typing hand in an effort to guide it toward your shriveled crotch.
That's all for now.

Haters Gonna Hate ;-)
Hey Monsieur Math Major, Ms. Price only has to run 1.76 seconds faster by the end of 2015 for my estimate of her ability to be confirmed. She is the World Indoor Champion, and was second only to the Olympic Champion last week in a stacked season opener. I'm standing by that one...far from "ridiculous".
