I didn't want to waste too much time looking for big improvers in the sprints in the NCAA, but there are a lot of them.
Jacory Patterson dropped 1.5 seconds as a freshman from high school, despite already starting at a fine 46.98 in hs,, to 45.5.
Hurricane Sandy Trashed the island of Haiti leaving many refugees in its wake.
Congratulations to the coaching staff of South Carolina, Frye and Wahab for taking a relatively un coached and natural talent D3 transfer and giving her access to a system that could produce results.
The 400m shapes up to be exciting for the US with Shakima Wimbley and even Ochocino's very very young daughter on the horizon. All of these athletes stand a very good chance to make a mark in the 400m for the US now and in the future, but how they got there reflects their own unique journey.
You have apparently never spent much time in Columbia South Carolina. If she was not ready for the heat then she could have definitely had a heat related event. Columbia is literally the hottest City in the southeast.

Having watched her run at NCAA's both years in D3 and knowing her coach at the time, she was not "uncoached". She still went from a 55 second 400 runner in high school down to 52 in D3 where she won every race without being pushed, I'm not surprised to see she ran this well. But she also spent a year training in a highly competitive D1 environment where she put more effort on a consistent basis where in D3, she probably coasted more off the talent.

I just read the article and she even makes mention of that part.
“Going into a race in DIII, I knew I was going to win automatically, so I had a little room for error. Here, in DI, I give it my all and maybe I’ll place in the top-3. It’s a different world.”
No disrespect to your D3 coach friend. I wrote "relatively". And it is not a reflection on that coach whatsoever. D3 programs just lack the financial resources of a SEC D1 program is all. She is where she belonged all along. I look forward to seeing her continue to progress.
Wadeline is poised for a run at Worlds Final in 400m at Doha Qatar. Incredible.
After a grueling indoor NCAA D1 and outdoor D1 incredible season. Best of luck.
Congrats to Wadeline Jonathas for turning pro. And congrats to SC Gamecocks coach.
Great interview with Steve Cram - says Jakob has no chance of WRs this year
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
