Tinch! [now at 12.96]

I really don't see McLeod as a problem for anyone right now.

Yeah, he ain't at trials

Tinch is not Lemonious's problem. Lemonious has other problems. Their names are Broadbell, Parchmenr, Mason and McLeod. Also Orlando Bennett and Damion Thomas

My comment was getting caught in someone's rhythm in the next lane. Will be exciting to watch.

Given that Tinch was previously the Big 12 champ for Kansas, the "small schoo" analogy kinda crumbles.

On the other hand he's had a lot of windy meets and performed very well in them, no small feet in the hurdles

Watch your step, it's contagious.

‘No, I’m excited because this just showed me what is to come.''’

Sometimes the very best outcome for a PVer is to 'no-height', because his/her pole is suddenly too soft and they just moosh it out.

Try 1 - total failure
Try 2 - they are very hesitant to try the 'next pole', so they say they will just run more 'measuredly'. That usually doesn't work, so you convince them they have to go up a pole (there are other fixes but going up a pole is Nirvana in the Vault).
Try 3 - they are hesitant, but still bend the pole and come close, usually coming down on it. Bingo, you've got they hooked for the next meet (and practices).

PV is often a confidence game, so you must turn every loss into a win, and this one really is a win.

Yeah...but the reason is that his next best wind legal is because a good portion, if not most, of his competitions were wind aided. He had a bad final at the Texas Relays but other than that he's been pretty consistent.

Even the Texas race was a positive from Tinch's perspective:

"Outdoors, he opened at the Texas Relays. He ran a 13.33w heat, but the breakthrough came in the finals when he ran 14.38. No, that’s not a typo. He explains how that race changed everything. 'I got out very well. I smashed hurdle 8 or 9 pretty hard and it stunted my entire race. I went from 1st to last real quick… After the race, I was smiling ear to ear. My teammates couldn’t understand. They’re like, ‘Aren’t you upset you didn’t win?’ And I was like, ‘No, I’m excited because this just showed me what is to come.''’

Of course, he'll have to remember not to do that next weekend.

His big question is how consistent he will be. Outside of the day he ran 12.96 and 13.09, his next best wind-legal performance was 13.21. Will he run 12.9x or 13.0x again this season? We'll have to wait and see.

He's probably a size 11.

I think he's the BuzzKid of the year and will bring alotta eyes to the event. Maybe GH will even run the final, just to see wazzup!

I don't think gh wants anything to do with the hurdles!

No small feet in the hurdles

Could be another Edwin Moses story. Guy coming out of a small school starts putting up big marks, ends up Oly Champion !

Tinch is a fascinating mystery, especially because no one can predict what performances this limitless talent will product against the best world top-guns.
