Does Kate Grace need to leave Bowerman Track Club? Something clearly isn't working there.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of Simpson, so I have to admit Shelby put a smile on my face today. I'm excited to see what else she can do in the 1500! Way to go, Shelby! And what a fun personality to boot!
Houlie was electric, most impressive thing in the meet so far.
Just kept ramping it up.
Very impressive.

What was jenny thinking trying to lead the race to home for two straight laps?
That reminded me of what Dibaba tried to do in 1500m Olympic race, and got killed down the
stretch by Faith.
Jenny is a sit and kicker, so that really weight to see her use that tactic.
Great race by Shelby, and she PR'd.
It's just work for Jenny, the real racing will be this summer. That said, Shelby ran a super race. I won't be surprised though if Muir and Jenny handle her regularly this summer should Shelby choose to concentrate on the 1500. But give Shelby another year or two...
Houlihan 9th at the bell and closed like a freight train. Actually reminded me of Simpson in 2011 WC final, albeit with a significantly faster time.
McLeod 13.01 wind-legal, then Shubenkov, Devon Allen. McLeod clearly back to form backing up his Shanghai win.

Splits say that was a 57.89 last lap from Kigen!
http://flashresults.com/2018_Meets/Outdoor/05-25_PrefontaineClassic/014-1-01.htmThat's gotta be among the fastest closing laps of all time, no?
Probably. It's obvious now that to keep the "story" going officials are going to step back on drug enforcement and allow the E. Africans to go hog wild. We're going to see 7:50 in the steeple, 12:40's in the 5k and more. Everyone else will be tested as usual though.
Got to love these commentators. "Up next the womens 5000m, where the olympic silver medalist Dibaba will feature. What about the olympic gold medalist Obiri?"
Prediction Dibaba 14:28

You guys are clowns. Leave the prediction game to the experts.
You're right. Close the thread. Fans have no place on a message board. Only experts allowed.

Jager’s plan to experiment this year and wait until the last lap seems like the definition of insanity. It’s never worked before, and he hasn’t gotten any better as a sprinter. That was a race that he needed to go hard from 800-1200 out
Exactly. He doesn't have the acceleration or raw speed some of the others have (never mind the unfettered drug use his opponents still enjoy off season). His only hope is to make each race a grind.

That's Semenya's **eighth** 1:55, and a negative split no less. Pretty incredible.
She was completely unbothered at the end. Not even breathing hard. Reckon she could go 1:52.
Why doesn't Ayana run this? ... or any race?
This is actually an improvement for grace on some of the races in her indoor season, I think in a year or so once she’s used to the increase volume she will be back to her old self and, hopefully, even better.
Wasn’t Colleen quigley supposed to race today? She definitely made the trip to Eugene and posted stories on Instagram. I wonder why the late scratch

Wow, obvious jealously from you. Put your money where your mouth is and give quotes where she ever whined about getting beat. All top athletes hate getting beat, but then you wouldn't know that would you. They voice dissatisfaction but whining, seriously get a life!
Just wait for her to be interviewed... 100% she throws slight at someone. Total passive aggressive whiner.

Can Dibaba stop advertisimg every race she's in as a WR attempt?
