Grant Holloway is quite the character. They asked him if he'd run in Europe after USAs and he said no he was going on vacation. He said hew as going to Cancun and then something along the lines of everyone knows the drinking age there is 18 and I'm 20 so I"m looking forward to it.
I had turned off my camera at that point so I asked him about it again.
Cancun interview.
Regular interview.
HOLY SH!T ON THAT 400M!
43.61!!!!! Collegiate Record for Norman!
Norman 43.62
We did two interviews with Kerr. He cut the first one off as he said his throat was hurting and he'd come back. Jonathan gault did the 2nd interview so it's possible he was a little under the weather. That might explain why he didn't go for the CR.
Here is the first interview with him:

It's 58 degrees and raining. Imagine how fast he could run a 400 in better weather.
Fred who?
Normam FTW 43.61 in horrible conditions, looked like 2 others broke 44 as well. That might've been the greatest college 400 ever.
That was incredible, and even more so because the whole field was pushing him the entire way. Akeem Bloomfield 43.9 in second plus 44.1 for 3rd. Wow... considering the rain, greatest collegiate 400 race of all time?
Saw MJ run the previous Hayward record 25 years ago. Nice to see it broken.

He beat the collegiate record, so yes, it is the great collegiate 400m race of all time.
For anyone wondering about Brian Barraza...
So much for sprint times being slow! We already have collegiate records in the 4x1 and 400 today. 4x4 is going to be great!
Michael norman coasted all season, but. Was thinking more like 43.8. Will he win USAs?
Looking so much forward to that anchor leg tonight!
If anyone read the thread the times will be faster I’m these conditions because the air is less dense.
Japanese black wins the 400!
Called it. Saruni ran like an idiot and Harris won. Big Ten wins another distance event!
Isaiah Harris defeats Saruni!!!!
Nice to see Harris finally win a title! I feel like he's been right there for so long.

B1G Ten crushing the mens distance this weekend
1500 - Hoare, Wisconsin
Steeple - Ali, Minnesota
10K - Flanagan, Michigan
Can Harris (Penn St) keep it going? I can't see any Big10 folk winning the 5K ( only Veatch and Carpenter in the race)
Yes he can.
Big10 has now won 4 mid-distance / distance races.
You have 1 move in a 800m, Saruni made one with 500m to go and another with 300m to go...
How are the times so fast today in this rain? I'm expecting a full-blown Ross Tucker analysis by tomorrow morning
