The attention was on the teens but the accomplished veterans Morgan Uceny and Jenny Simpson got the heat wins.
Lots of post-race interviews included.
Give us your thoughts below. How about the big PB for Charnigo. For the rest of her life, she can say she beat Mary Cain.

When you put these recaps on the front page, just link to the recap, instead of linking to the thread where you then link to the recap. The way you do it is total amateur hour. -
the juice is back in the system

Someone fizzled and it wasn't Cain.
-
Cain is getting toward park fitness and Ephraimson is probably getting tired after a lot of big races over the past 2 months.

But they get double the page-views on their ads by sending you to a page before the one you actually want.
I agree, if its linked on the front page it should take you right to the article.
Hey Brojos, if you are intentionally trying to make more ad money why don't you make each article a 19 part piece so you get 19x the views?? If that isn't your goal then figure it out. -

We have started doing it this way to generate discussoin about each race. We feel each race should have it's own thread. If there was a technical way for the article to show up in the messagebaord, we would just put it here. -

I think is probably the case. Alex is in the same state that Abby is right now. Some of the greats have at times been able to race from early May til early September and really put the hammer down at the end. However, a lot of US runners have peaked by now, especially those running some kind of race-heavy school schedule. -
Alexa made an unnecessarily strong move mid-race and then found herself struggling with 300m to go. The calibre of runner she was competing against was ready to go on the last lap. That is part of the learning process. By no means a failure or a fizzle. Cain has faster PR's and more national/international experience. Both of them ran really nice races.

She was getting pushed around a lot on the second lap and seemed to overcompensate in moving up to get out of the traffic. I can testify that this type of thing can poison your last 200 big time. This is part of her learning curve, and will make her stronger come World Jrs.. -
Agreed, I was fascinated to see Alexa mix it up with Cain, but the strong move at 600m proved to be her undoing. Hopefully, she will either learn or get better, so we can see these 2 superstars duke it out and take it to the rest of the world (America vs. Ethiopia is going to be a Battle).
