      • Sub-4 in college, world gold and silver, diamond legue champion, and OLYMPIC bronze. The last 150 no one can get past her. She had a two meter or so lead on grace going into the straight, but she still won GOING AWAY. Tell me how many times you've seen someone do that. At pre she looked spent, she looked good at Vanderbilt a couple weeks back, but today was DOMINANCE.

        Jennifer, take my money.

      • Jenny has been a great runner and big meet performer for years. I hope she achieves her goals at the World Championships.

      • I was concerned for her after Pre, but she's really rounded into her old self. I hope she smashes Rowbury's AR this summer.

        Objectively, I would say she is the best... if you can't give her that then at least the post consistent. She has run 3:57, won many world and Olympic medals, and wins USAs every time.

        Its still girl's racing.

        Stop with the platitudes. She's a great runner. But she is not the Olympic Champ.
        Nor is she the world record holder. The USA has had both. And neither is her.

        However, she is a great racer. And great to watch. She's not weak.
        She is the second-fastest clean 1500 runner of all time, after Muir. That's something.

        Medals define an athlete a lot more than times/records do in my opinion.
