Our topics today:
1. The Women’s 5000-meter event was tremendous, with .02 separating Elle St. Pierre and Elise Cranny! Karisa Schweizer took third, and gutty Parker Valby, 4th and lead from start to 4200 meters, got Olympic standard.
2. Vashti Cunningham had to fight to make the Women’s HJ, including a jump-off, with Vashti, who has won 13 titles, taking third. Charity Huffnagel soared 1.94m PB, 6-4.25, and Rachel Glenn cleared 1.94m!
3. Jeremiah Davis’s 8.20 m long jump, Malcom Clemons’ 8.18m, and Jarrion Lawson’s clutch jump of 8.18 m got the vet on the team.
4. Cole Hocker defended his title from 2021 in an enthralling race! Yared Nuguse took silver, and Hobbs Kessler took the bronze.
5. While everyone was wondering if Quincy Wilson would make the team and how much Mike Norman would win, Quincy Hall delivered a PB of 44.17, Mike Norman, 44.41, and Chris Bailey, 44.42 PB. Quincy Wilson ran 44.94, his third time under 45 seconds in just 4 days!!!!!
6. In a crazy 800m, Nia Akins kept her calm, ran a PB of 1:57.36, and won the race. Allie Wilson slipped by Juliette Whittaker, who took silver and bronze. Athing Mu had fallen at 200 meters, and while an appeal was filed by Athing’s coach, USATF denied the appeal. Athing Mu, short on racing, was caught in the congestion of the field at 200 meters and will not defend her title in Paris.
See you all tomorrow!
