    US junior star Mary Cain flew to Germany to race a 1500 today and had a very poor result finishing 2nd to last in 4:20.73.

    1:45 into the race Cain was off the back. (The World television feed on BeIN Sports cut away for the pole vault so there is the possibility Cain fell but we don't think so). She'd run in no woman's land the rest of the way until the finish.

    The pace upfront was not that fast as 800 was in 2:13.39. Axumawit Embaye would get the win over Germany's Konstanze Klosterhalfen.

    It's the slowest 1500 we could find from Cain since 2011 according to all-athletics.com but there is a possibility she ran slower in a high school competition not in all-athletics.

    We've reached out to her agent to see if she got tangled up in the first 3 laps.

    Pretty expensive trip for what is looking more like a hobby instead of a career.

    The winner runs the world lead and five others in the top 7 run PBs. That also does not bode well for her performance. I bet AlSal is glad he doesn't have to sugar coat her races anymore.

    I'd like to point something out with the talk of Cain, Webb, Drew Hunter, and others doping in high school.

    I run in high school currently and YOU DO GET TESTED. In the state of Oklahoma, any athlete signs up for random testing any time during the school year and you can be tested as many times as you need to be. I was tested 3 times last year and I am slow as hell. I guarantee you that all the top high school runners get tested.

    State of Iowa has no such policy for any sport.

    The commentator does mention anything, neither that some women got entangled nor a fall. He is grasping for the usual boring straws like "soandso of nationalityX".

    The real commentators say something which I can't translate and neither could the British commentators who weren't paying attention to the race. They just heard Cains name spoken but don't know what was said.

    The stadion commentators just pointed out Mary Cain as world junior record holder. There also was no fall or entaglement I could discern in the stadion.

    She just dropped off the pack.

    Usually the testing is for recreational drugs like marijuana and amphetamines. Technically blood doping is legal in most states at the high school level.

    100% agree. Watch her run that 2:03 800 split as a freshman. Supposedly bad form according to many who don't understand it.

    It's time for her to realize she knew something intuitively that Salazar is unlikely ever to figure out. All she has to do is study how she used to run and let that happen again. And lean out a bit, unfortunately, which is not much fun.

    What we have is a classic case of why an elite high school athlete should not turn pro. Running in collegiate program may have benefited Mary more then the so called going pro approach,time will tell. Her today time would have been one of the fastest collegiate times this season.
