LaShauntae certainly deserved to be dq'd for running out of her lane.
You could tell she wanted to win this bad. Beating Jeter- even at 200m- would've been huge for her.
Nevertheless the closing ability//stamina that I mentioned earlier was clearly on display in the last 60 meters.
Jeter wasnt the only person she was pulling away from down the stretch. She was separating from the field.
Lemme see...sub 11 speed and good stamina/turnover down the stretch. Clearly her curve running needs work (not only did she run out of her lane in the curve, but her head moves a lot and her arms flail a bit) but if she fixes it...22.2x?
She's having a great season I hope it continues for her.

While it may appear inefficient, she's run this way her whole life. I don't think I've ever seen a runner completely change form midway through his or her career. Radcliffe's head-bob, Symmonds' arm pumping, Shaheen leaning backwards... These are great athletes who have unique idiosyncrasies in their running form...and it works for them.
i disagree that moore would have won this even if she stayed within her lane. at the end, jeter just gave up when it was clear that she couldn't catch her. but if she was closer, she might have been spurred to try to catch her at the last few meters.
Now THAT's how to do a lane violation. None of this pussyfooting around with one or two steps on the line. She almost went TWO lanes in. But never mind, her PR of today would not have lasted more than a couple of weeks anyway.
