Eaton winning his section.

Ashton looked smooth as silk in that 100. No tension at all.

EATON IS FINISHED!!!

Only ran 10.36. He ran 10.21 at 2012 Trials.

Too much attention to social media - it's holding him back.

(Obligatory LR post)

LR is overlooking Laura Thweatt, who is not afraid of the pace, can break 31 and finish top three.

This field is very close and I'm looking forward to the race.

Thweatt could definitely do it, but her future is in the marathon I believe.

Also I'm really pulling for Curtis Beach right now

I really want him to make the team.

Excellent long jumping from Eaton with 7.84 , I doubt he'll take another jump

Pole vault is slow, HS phenom and record holder Christopher Nilsen has no heighted, three x's

Do you work for Nike or Oregon? It amazes me that that's legal. It's embarrassing really. All wearing the same uniform. THe same. Mind dumb robots.

Thought they might show this and the girl's.

Post some more if you got 'em

She can run both, but definitely made a mistake by skipping the marathon trials.

Women's 10,000 on the track.

There is a breeze but it is hotter than last night. This might be another war of attrition.

All those white guys in red and black uniforms are hard to distinguish from one another.
