I also noticed Collins there. I wonder if that means she dropped out of West L.A. college and has "turned" pro?

It should be interesting to see, because everyone else on that relay (i think) is trained by Bobby Kersee. Hastings and Barber for sure. Can anyone confirm Rodriguez and Collins? If so, that training camp is sick right now!

Yes but Perry is not a horse at that distance and I would imagine that she ran no better than 54?

Perry is a horse at that distance. You are mistaken my friend.
The relay was pretty even for all[/img]

[twinpeeks]

I am told that, Michelle Perry ran the second best split of the day for the distance. I belive that she was a pretty good multi event athlete?

[mump boy]

Rodriguez and Collins do not train with Kersee.

I don't know about that.

But I believe Kersee will be an excellent fit for Hastings running style if she is truly committed.

You would expect a team inc TBO, Gemma Bennett and Anike Shand-Whittingham to run 44.x in the early season. But I've never heard of Denise Osei? Is she British?

They did improve on one thing though - they got the baton round! :lol:
