Good ol' USATF + Runnerspace. The only thing they have is a link to entries from almost two weeks ago.

That website sucks so bad. I don't understand how they are USATF's go to for literally everything and anything. I've seen better websites designed by intro to web development college students. It's like they've never even heard of website architecture.

Another win for Leonard Korir.

Nice job Stephanie Bruce!

I feel like Bruce will always be a B-level runner who's biggest claim to fame isn't her running but her stomach. I give her a ton of credit for mixing it up on a regular basis and running a lot of national races, but I feel think that's more out of necessity.

She has a social media presence but​ I doubt she will ever make an Olympic team.

maybe because a$$hats like you feel the need to bring it up rather than talk about her achievements. you try to make it seem like you're praising her, but all you're really doing is insulting her.

Steph has been making great improvement in the last couple years. If winning national championships is B-level to you, you're sense of scale is all wrong. She's run 2:29 on a mediocre day at CIM, right after running NYC. Now she runs a 70 minute half, which probably equates to 2:28. A few years back, she'd make an Olympic team with that kind of performance.
