Semenya 1:52.9 in 800 WR
Ajee Wilson breaks her own AR
Always a great meet with fast times.
NOT so many records. There will be many, but records are records for a reason. They are tough to beat, hard-earned, amazing. We have to treat them as stuff, not like a prize you get at the fairgrounds. Revel in the awe of the extraordinary! I was there when Ashton Eaton broke the WR in Eugene and it was amazing, still resonates. And it exhausted him, what followed was great appreciation and awe form all around. Records are records. Our little PRs may fall here and there, but 8 and 9 and 800 WR and AR? The planets would have to align in ways they rarely do. Or we will find Monaco is a short track as some suspect.
