With the Millrose Games coming up, and the world championships this year, I figured I start a thread for pro track meets so we won't derail our Aggie Track thread. This weekend Athing Mu will race in a highly contested mile and Donovan Brazier will run the 400, after he ran with a fractured tibia in the Olympic Trial Finals. Jacob Wooten vaulted 19'0 two weeks ago, and Natosha Rogers placed 6th at the cross country nationals!

Donovan Brazier runs the 400 at 2:24

Devin Dixon is also running an 800 today!

3:05? That would be QUICK!!! Haha Does she have a realistic shot to win the mile, or is this just to make her faster in the 400-800?

LOL, I believe it is more endurance/strength work especially after her long year last year. She probably took some time off and is in the stage of getting her aerobic base back up. Also I think it's a flex to show everyone how versatile she is lol! I don't think she'll win, there's a 1500 Olympic runner there in Elle Purrier St Pierre who should run away with the win. BUT, BUT, if it's a slow paced race and I mean a slow competitive one, I'd put all my money on Athing Mu to out kick the others who aren't used to striding with a sprinter lol. However I think her just running the mile is cool and shows off her versatility, it's hard to predict a time because of the pace variance, but anything below a 4:30 would be huge!

I agree. I'm a weirdo though in that I'd prefer her to never lose any race ever ever ever? Hahaha fortunately she has a great team surrounding her and it looks like she is doing what it takes to prolong and maximize her career.

Love Brazier. Really hope he is able to shut the doubters up!

Is this televised and do you have race times?

Lol it will feel WEIRD not seeing Mu cross the finish line first! Yes it'll actually all be on NBC from 1:30-3:30! Here's a link to the schedule/live results! Right now it's high school/college running but at 1:30 the pros begin! Then Brazier at 2:24 and Mu at 3:05! Brazier is doing only the 400 after his injury, his coaches didn't want him running on a small indoor track with a large crowded field!

Caught the last lap. Good to see the PR and looks like Brazier had fun.

No Wilson interview? I was hoping they'd ask her if she gave Houlihan tips for her tainted meat appeal.

Wonder if they paid Mu not to run the 800 so Wilson can keep her winning streak there

I doubt it - Nike wouldn't want to help an Adidas athlete. Some early season strength training with hopes of a record run at Worlds later in the year would be my guess.

Too big a jump from 4:37 PR to a competitive world class time.

Good change of pace to get a taste of what the mile and 1500 take.

Bryce Hoppel still doesn't look like himself... Brazier can still be atop the 800 and maybe Brandon Miller can fight for a spot as well

It's going to be tough for Miller with all the rounds from NCAAs then to qualify at USAs. I don't know how many 1:44s he'll have in him. Brazier back from injury, Hoppel. Murphy. Jewett, Dixon back from injury, etc.
