Athing Mu appreciation thread

she is remarkably good and follows in a long line of NJ 400/800 stars like Wilson, Baker, McLaughlin.

for her to be top 5 all time is amazing

I'll ask again. How come someone can set a HS record while not competing for a HS?

Can I go set a collegiate record even though I'm not on the college track team?

Seems unfair.

Amazing performance though.

So, if I'm "in college" I can set a collegiate record?

Yes , but it may not be an NCAA Collegiate record.

Quoting T&F News

Records as ratified by the T&FN Records Committee include only those made by NCAA Division I athletes. No NCAA II/III, NAIA or JUCO performances are included. The end of the collegiate season as defined by T&FN comes with the staging of the NCAA Championships. We do sublist at the end of the page any superior marks made after that date.

Athing Mu was the fastest qualifier in all heats for tomorrow’s final. She literally beat professional athletes like Nike sponsored Raevyn Rogers. 1:26.23 is super impressive. Is this more or less impressive than Katelyn Tuohy’s 9:01? What do you think she can do tomorrow?

CALLED IT!!!!

This is probably the most impressive high school performance ever.

I think her Brother runs for Penn State. Muhammad Mu- Trenton Central HS

I'd say most impressive high school performance for a girl. You forget Jim Ryun.

Still not as impressive as Cain.

How soon before she is best in world? Looks capable of 1:58 this year.

Ryun = GOAT, but this is like an 800 boy going from 1:50 to 1:44 in one weekend. Imagine the reaction of the boards to that.

Has it been mentioned that she wears dental braces?

Can this 600 to 800 Conversion be Real? it says 1:55.3 and Outdoors is faster. I expected maybe mid 1:57 to low 1:58.

And I know at this age she probably does not have the Endurance to run her converted 600 time into a similar 800 time, still

The 1:55 is nonsense. Maybe 1:57.5 in terms of conversion.

Well done. I particularly appreciate the greater frequency of Americans who are willing to go to the front in middle and long distance races. It has made me sick for decades to watch one stiff stretch running American moron after another.

I don't care about outliers. If you give me the outlier example you are a fool. I enjoyed Ato Boldon emphasizing during the telecast that it is so difficult to cede ground at highest level. No kidding. Our American coaches apparently have been brain dead regarding that reality for a half century or more.

Her Parents are from Sudan, but She is a Yankee Doodle Dandy Born in the USA.

Sudan is a very Weak Country in Womens Distance Running or in Track and Field period
