What a run, both Wilson and her new training partner Charlene Lipsey broke the old American 800 indoor record of 1:58.71 from Nicole Teter in 2002.
Wilson only ran 1:59.44 outdoors last year and had never broken 2:00 indoors.
Lipsey's best outdoors prior to today was 2:00.60 and 2:02.01 indoors.
Congrats to the Derek Thompson coached athletes.

Too bad she can't win an outdoor medal for the next few years
-
No props to Sammy Watson for setting the high school record in that race?
-
Does it mean anything that Watson was wearing Nike? She has been wearing her high school kit all year. I guessing she's skipping college.
-
Just an absurdly beastly run. I wonder what they're doing in training to be able to run that fast this early.

Wrong she has been wearing the Nike kit in all her open races (Boston, ATI, Millrose), but not wearlng Nike spikes so at this point don't read too much into what she is wearing -

But Rojo and Wejo is she a true American? Does this really count as an AR? She isn't white so I'm confused as to why you're promoting this.

Ajee just ran an amazing race. her teammate has been running well also. does anyone know what specific adidas race shoe Ajee wears? And in response to the Mary Cain comment...she is not really relevant right now.
-
Big turnaround for Lipsey. Quite the training group. Looks like they are shooting for World Indoors. Will be interesting to see what they can do in the outdoor season.
-
Great to see Ajee do so well.
Too bad she has to beat men to win the serious hardware. -
That is terrific to see her coming all the way back and to see Lipsey make an incredible drop. It will take 1:55-56 to medal from now on with the men in the outdoor race.
