For those of you that have forgotten the name of
Tremedia Brice please remember that she was the season long leader in the women's 200m dash during the indoor season and now that the outdoor
season has officialy gotten started look who has the fastest time in the women's 200m dash
Tremedia Brice of Texas Southern the same person
who was never mentioned even thou she had the fastest time during the time trials in the NCAA's.
Please to those who doubted her talent keep right on because those who did saw her sprint away
with a very important title NCAA CHAMPION.

Re: Tremedia Brice NCAA 200M CHAMPION

So how much IS an NCAA indoor 200m champion going for these days ?

Seriously though, on the outdoor oval my money will be on Shalonda Solomon. She is much more suited physically to the outdoor 200, where she can really unwind her legs on the last 100m.

edit: And anyone who thinks any 200m title won on that downhill course in Fayetteville is important is fooling themselves.

A 22.8 is a pretty fast time for March. If she improves, and most likely she will, she will be tough to beat in June.

Easy when you're running downhill.

Anyone know what lane she was in? I'll bet it wasn't below 4.

Um......it was outdoor.

Very true.

She runs 22.90 on Fayetteville, then just three weeks later on an outdoor track with +1.9m/s wind, she can go just 0.06 quicker (22.84).

Similarly, Shalonda Solomon runs 23.15 in Fayetteville a few weeks ago, yet even a +1.4m/s wind outdoors can't help her better that time (23.16).

Krysha Bailey was capable of 23.54 a month ago in Fayetteville. Weird how on an outdoor track with +1.4m/s wind, she runs just 23.88.

In the 400m, Stephanie Smith ran under 53 three times indoors this year (all at Fayetteville of course), yet last weekend she could only mustre a 53.05 outdoor clocking.



Tafnut's suggestion of Fayetteville being just as good as any outdoor track perhaps isn't so crazy afterall...

Re: Tremedia Brice NCAA 200M CHAMPION

I know I am whizzing in the wind here trying to convince our Brit-pal about this, but here goes:

Brice ran her outdoor time during a very low-key meet in the midst of what is likely a "rebuild the base" training cycle after NCAA Indoors. To run 22.84 at that meet (where I was trackside) was pretty damn impressive given her training cycle.

Same training cycle for Solomon, I would bet, and her 23.16 came in pretty awful conditions at Georgia Tech.

Brice, if she stays healthy, will run mid- to low-22 this year, and Solomon should be in the same neighborhood given good health.

>trying to convince our Brit-pal




Believe me, you didn't 'convince' me about anything, as I already know all that about their training cycles and their potential for this outdoor season. The point of my post was to back up tafnut's notion that Fayetteville is just as good as the average outdoor track. He suggested that if Spearmon et al were to run an outdoor 200m the week after the NCAA final, they would be hard-pressed to better their times from Fayetteville (assuming zero-wind conditions). I just so happen to agree, and the results of the outdoor races from the past couple weeks simply re-affirm that view.



That reminds me... there are several questions that Eldrick typically left unanswered in another thread....

sigh
never mind
you'll never get/admit the true point of the problem with your apples-oranges comparison

Re: Tremedia Brice NCAA 200M CHAMPION

guru, she won meaning 1st among her competitors in the same place at the same time under the same conditions. An indoor champion for life.

Re: Tremedia Brice NCAA 200M CHAMPION

>never mind




Don't you worry, I shan't.

So long as I KNOW that my side of the debate holds FAR more water than Eldrick's does, then I couldn't really care less for your nit-picking.

Re: Tremedia Brice NCAA 200M CHAMPION

To the person known as guru if you think that
Tremedia Brice's winning time of 22.90 seconds
in 200m should not be taken seriously then what
did you think of Wallace Spearmon's effort in the
same event? By the way these two won there races
in lane 5.Also if Hazel Ann Regis of LSU had won
the race would you doubted her effort simply
because of where she ran her event?

EXACTLY the same thing. The time is a joke when you are finishing BELOW the start. The higher your lane, the less meaningful your time.

It's not about doubting the EFFORT. But don't think for a SECOND that starting up in Lane 5, on the curve, therefore ABOVE the finish, doesn't aid the performance. It IS a downhill run.

That said, she did win the race, and I respect that tremendously. But certain types of athletes run well indoors, especially in an event like the 200, and don't necessarily translate that into outdoor success.

HBCU: Did you get out to the Texas Relays? Tremedia was moving in that w100 in a windy 11 flat. She was challenged by Texas' Marshevette Hooker who finished in 11.03.

Re: Tremedia Brice NCAA 200M CHAMPION

Dear Lil Wayne unfortunately I'am 4000 miles away
in the northeast in New Jersey and the only way I can keep up with her progress is through the
internet and I can't wait for the NCAA's when she
and Sholonda Solomon of South Carolina square
off in the sprints,I hope that she can come to the Penn Relays because that way she can be seen
by the media in the northeast and then they will
know who she is and what type of talent she is.
