        Anyone know what happened to Christian Taylor in the Triple Jump? He failed on his first attempt and passed the next 2. He is an auto qualifier to worlds because of his championship in 2015. I hope he is not injured.
        I believe you are required to compete in any event at nationals in order to be eligible for the wild card, so by taking 1 attempt he satisfies that requirement.
        A other reason track is a shit event to promote. Come out and watch our champions do the minimum it takes to advance.
        It's fine. It's like the top seeds in the NFL getting byes to the divisional round.

      • They let them run since it gives NBC the story they want.
        NBC does not treat track as a real sport, but as an opportunity to sell a "story".

        That is also why they only push the olympics and not the sport of track.
        Just sad for the athletes and the sport.

        Yes, he has a bye and will only be running the 200m at trials.

      • Anyone think the 400 qualification format is a little off? Top 4 from each heat advance... why not top 2 + next 6 fastest?

        I guess I'm feeling bad for little Kerley who would have won the 2nd heat (and ran the 5th fastest time overall), but won't make the final...

      • I'm not a fan of English Gardner. She seems very angry. Not the the kind of anger you need to run on "Pure Hate". She scares me a little, Alyson Felix on the other hand does not scare me.

      • So for everyone who thinks the 100 has not peaking, take a look at the women's results. THer Oregon Ducks who almost blew NCAAs both made the team whereas the NCAA champ didn't even make it out of the first round.

        LACE ATHLETE RESULT REACT LN/POS
        1 Tori Bowie
        adidas 10.94 5
        2 Deajah Stevens
        Oregon 11.08 3
        3 Ariana Washington
        Oregon 11.10 6
        4 Morolake Akinosun
        Nike 11.12 4
        5 Aaliyah Brown
        Texas A&M 11.15 1
        6 English Gardner
        Nike 11.16 7
        7 Aleia Hobbs
        LSU 11.23 8
        8 Allyson Felix
        Nike 11.28 2


        I don't know much about the 100 but unlike Ato, I think Coleman will crush Gatlin.

      • gatlin and coleman are on a completely different level than the rest of the americans this year. Good run by both of them into a decent headwind.
