Are there any other non-t&f aggies still competing after tonight besides Middleton on MBB?

The US relays can still use Fred Kerley, Bryce Deadmon, or Athing Mu and Emmanuel Yeboah can run with Ghana. Maggie Malone still needs the Javelin finals. Tahar Triki is in the triple jump finals tonight as well!! Most other sports Aggies are in over!

Lindon Victor slides to 11th but can do some real damage in the discus with a bear that is 5 meters than the rest of the field! He can beat the field by nearly 100 points at his best! Let's hope he's around 55 meters!

Knowing Tyra would have easily qualified to the high jump final as well

Sorry, what happened with Tyra?

Alais Kalonji (France) qualified through to the semis in 10m platform diving which starts at 8pm CT. Should be able to watch on the NBC sports app or nbcolympics.com

Had no idea Uganda had never won Gold. Figured they'd have had one somewhere on the track
John Akii-Bua won gold in 1972 in the 400 hurdles - from lane one no less.

she was right under the standard which less than 10 women hit, so they chose people based on their world athletic rankings so 30 jumpers who have performed less than Tyra are able to compete just because they have a higher ranking score... which is biased to European pro athletes. Tyra could jump 6'4 here meanwhile a pro can jump 5'11 in Europe and its considered the same performance level!

Annie about to start in the long jump... her best is 6.50 so let's hope she's just around there or better!

5.99 for Kunz. Had a flat approach and landed on her back! Now she needs to attack and go for a big mark! Leave nothing on the table!

That's a good first jump for Annie. Got some good points. 4 Group B jumpers fouled on their first attempt.

Good to get points on the first jump now to go after that PB

Foot foul for Annie

Wonder if that delay affected her?

I bet it did, she looked hesitant at the board! But hopefully getting around 6.50 even with a slight foot foul can give her some confidence!

Our girls 4x100 just lost to Britain lol, hopefully in the finals Gabby Thomas and Jenna Prandini run!

Annie desperately needs something on this last attempt! A 6.25/6.30 would be good but make the podium fight a little difficult. A 6.50+ would have her in a comfortable spot!

Taylor, what is Annie's personal best in 1500? How does it compare to the three in front?

Javelin and 800. Come on Annie finish strong!

Need to make up 71 points on Vidts to get that podium!

Vetter's best this year is a 2:22
Kunz is a 2:15
Vidts is a 2:09

It's imperative we stay close to Vetter in the javelin and blow away Vets! Annie desperately desperately needs a PB here! Barring a disaster Thiam should win this easily!

Seeing the W400 semis; I can't help but wonder how Athing Mu would have looked in the Olympic 400 final. :/
