I want Merritt to win

wait, go Wissman!

[IFK_Vaxjo]

Go Wissman! Looking better and better for every race.

Looked like Merrit was on to something but Wariner had it under control again.

Wariner ran a good last straight, nice and relaxed despite Merritt breathing down his neck.

Wariner wins at 44.05.

NR for Wissman, 45,03. Let's wait until Dn.Galan or even better Osaka for sub 45!

What has happened to Darold Williamson 46.66?

Does he have an injury that I'm not aware of ?

Is anybody really surprised?

Nope, can't wait for the championship race.

I have a feeling in the next few years they will be trading wins back and forth

When has DW been a medal contender? Great college runner. Mediocre on the world stage. Also ran.

agreed, DW has been an also ran for 2 years now. I saw him run at Baylor early season, and Id take him in a relay any day. From the type of vehicle I saw him drive at Waco, he needs to spend a little less time worrying about looks. JW had the same vehicle though!

I was really wondering more about his nose-diving trajectory this year than about this lack of professional medals. I'm not expecting him to run 44.00. I'm just wondering why he seems to be running more slowly at each successive meet. He's lost something like 2 seconds this year. A 46.6 should be almost loafing for him.

Impressive development curve for Wissman. Bronze in Osaka?

[Turk]

No one is going to beat Wariner, Merrit, or Taylor except themselves.
