Merrit 44.34

[bennyg]

Lashawn Merrit is warming up nicely withh 44.34 in the Guadeloupe Grand Prix., beating Angelo Taylor in 45.06

Johnson's Long Jump of 8.30m is a sound effort at this time of the season.

And its the second best sea level performance ever at 2nd May or earlier.

Only Wariner is faster on 22nd April in 44.12 secs.

And apparently this also just in:

The Japanese Imperial Navy has launched a pre-dawn attack on Pearl Harbor in the territory of Hawaii. Still awaiting news of President Roosevelt's response.

Michael Johnson ran 43.75 and 44.23 in April. Also ran a 43.9 hand time in March.

Try this thread just down the page a bit. Lot of stuff on the 44.34 and even other marks from the meet.

It was quite sad how he destroyed the field that day.

A 19.80w and a 44.34, each time he has no competition. Is this enough to beat JW? I think Merritt might beat Wariner at the US trials, but i think when it comes to the Olympics, Wariner has it. It's just hard seeing wariner get beat, but if anyone can beat Wariner it's Merritt. Just PLEEZ, pray that neither of these guys is on drugs :!:

Why do you pray that neither is on drugs? It sounds as if you are enjoying the thought of a close battle between the two...What if drugs were what facilitated a close battle around 43.5 to take place? You'd enjoy it, and remain ignorant of the drugs, at least for a while, and so it is the knowledge of drug use that bothers you, not its actual use....

[lewismyhero]

Oh, i'd enjoy seeing them battle it out at 43.5 or 42.5 :shock: , it's just the thought of either Wariner or Merritt getting busted and leaving the other to win without any competition. Imagine Tyson running in a field where he is the only guy running under 10 seconds (in the 100). It's boring. I don't care if either on drugs when they run against each other. Remember when we were all anticipating a Powell vs. Gatlin? Gatlin was on drugs and thus, no showdown. Everyone would hate that.
