Great story, congrats to y'all, will be following that for sure now. thanks...

That's so cool! I'll be there too, but our Track and Field tickets are for 8/4 so looks like we will miss seeing your Godson. Good luck to him!

If you go off the TeamUSA Instagram the men's 4x100 order should be

Coleman
Kerley
Bednarek
Lyles

Looks like Kyree King and Courtney Lindsey will fill the 3rd/4th legs for the prelims

(Based off my interpretation from practice pics)

Thanks for posting this Taylor....as you promised a month or so ago. Thank you very much.

Also… question of the day!

If you had 4 years to train for a track and field event… which event are you going to have the best chance to qualify for the Olympics in LA 2028???

Maybe 100m for me? I hate running long distances and I like to pretend I look fast when I wear my neon color workout attire.

Nike is waiting to sign you

God knows I love track so he still woke me up at 3 today, although I should really get some sleep lol

Like the color of the track! Will see if I grow tired of the purple

Finally you have some competition Leo Neugebauer and not just 19 year old collegiates

I'm watching on a French channel but it looks blue to me. Guess we shall see on Sat!

Ok looked it up and it's definitely purple, interesting how it comes off on TV.

I'd call it lilac

Go run your 100 and se show your neon clothes reflect off the lilac

OH NO LINDON VICTOR FALSE STARTS THE 100

They let him run again

10.56 for Victor! 6th best overall!

Lamara Distin beginning the high jump, opener is 1.83 or 6'0

She misses her first attempt

Makes it on her second attempt! Next height is 1.88 or 6'2

Lamara over on her second attempt! She needs to cut the misses out

Lamara continues to struggle after a huge start to the 2024 season! Will not make the finals as she misses 6'3.5… what a season for her! She will have an excellent pro career!

Lindon Victor in 9th after 2 events!

7.48 in the long jump

Sha'carri with 10.94!

They being lenient with the false starts so far.

I'm going with the 10K because that's my favorite distance. I only need to drop about 16 minutes to meet the qualifying standard....that's just 4 minutes per year..piece of cake, as I'll be only 57 then haha!
