2021 U.S. Outdoor Season

[ATK]

There are entries posted now, but they seem to be a bit scrambled. Wilson listed in Women's Mile and Men's 800. [Sammy Watson in Men's 800 too].

That turned out to be no mistake. Wilson ran in the men's races today. Wilson running in the first heat was tucked in the pack for most of the race, hitting 400 at about 57 and finishing in 1:57.85, apparently breaking the Franklin Field stadium record. Also a SB for her, but not sure how that works since it was run with men.

Sammy Watson and Yuliya Stepanova, the Russian athlete who worked with WADA and others against Russia in the whole doping scandal, also ran with the men in section 2.

An update on the Penn relays meet, there was a lightning delay right before the start of the 100m's but they were able to get back on track after 30 minutes to run the mens and womens 100s as well as 3 heats of the mens 400m, before another lightning delay shut the meet down for the rest of the night. The meet will continue and finish off tomorrow morning.

Ajee Wilson was there and ready to run so assuming she will be back tomorrow.

Also notable was Terrence Laird at the meet. He didnt plan to run just hangout and watch the meet and see some local people run. And makes sense considering he's from just outside of Philly.

Sound Running Sunset Tour meet had some remarkable performances in the w800, not least of which was a 1:58.62 for Sadi Henderson.

Women's races had quality fields.

Nice, not sure how she will perform given the delayed training. I would think she needs to be in top form to make the final and medal.

I think it's a pretty good bet she makes the final.

[TWalsh]

Her chances of making the final should be quite good.

She definitely has the form to make the 10,000 final!

No real big highlights. Some notable results from ATL:

Yohan Blake - 9.95 (+0.1) in the 100m
Jesus Tonatiu Lopez (Mexico) - 1:43.44 in the 800m


Hurdle finals coming up now

Blake’s start looked like a flyer.

Bummer - hope it is not severe. I guess she is not heading to Tokyo.

Yes, I was just about to say that!

I didn't have the energy to stay up to almost 3am to watch him last night. Was he always way ahead of the field on the last lap or did he use his wicked kick to open up the gap?

Never mind, I found the video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPUBakSCfpY

It was a bit of both, I guess!

[LuckySpikes]

Tough crowd. A national record, #5 in the world this year, and a time that would have held up very well if he was dropped into the Monaco DL race earlier in the day. Plus he looked like he could have kept going. I am interested to see him line up in Tokyo.
