No, I think you're right. She's finishng up her degree.

I think I read (Twitter maybe?) Muna saying something being back in Baton Rouge at school or something...am I mistaken?

I can't say for sure but if Porscha remains at A&M and trains she'll be in great situaton. Texas A&M is not a bad place to be if you're transitioning from collegiate to professional sprinter.

For example, I believe she'll (continue?) to have Muna, among others, as a training partner but not the coursework of school. Spearmon trains there too, I believe? Not to mention the impressive corp of sprinters Pat Henry usually has.

I could be wrong but I believe BK trains in Austin and I'm not sure she has the same type of support system in place.

Will be interesting to see how Porcha transition now that she is out of college as opposed to Knight. Am a fan of Porcha so am rooting for her.

WOW! That's really great. Connie Moore? She didn't run that fast even at Penn State and now, at 29, and after a significant 4-5 year layoff, she's been able to run faster than she ever has before. Shades of Dr. Delano Merriweather. And he made the cover of Sports Illustrated. What do you think? A T&F cover, maybe?

They're not related. Connie was a many time All-American at Penn State a few years ago.

Is Consuella Moore actually LaShaunte Moore?

When I saw Connie win on TV, where it talked about her layoff, I craved knowing her age.

USATF zapped her old bio, but I found it cached on Google:
http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/s ... =firefox-a

She turns 29 in August.

LaShaunte Moore beat Connie Moore at the 2004 Trials:

Don't know if they are related.

Ohh. Thanks for the clarification. Wonder where she has been for the last... well... 6 years. Seems like she took 2 years off because her last race according to IAAF is from 2007

Re: USATF w200:

Porscha got money!

Not that there was any doubt.

Saucony in the short game to stay, making a serious play to sell spikes.

Wallace was holding it down in their gear in the 100 final. It was different, eye catching.
