Awesome, welcome back Liv!!

I wonder if she will still interview our/her Aggies @ the Penn Relays...

Oregon signs a 1:42 800 runner from Kenya

No worries

Here are his races from this year!! I saw the Pr and got scared! But I'm not so worried anymore! Looked like a one time thing and lots of guys have been transferring to Oregon and not doing much! https://worldathletics.org/athletes/kenya/koitatoi-kidali-15042055

Thanks, interesting info....
I will continue to trust in the Ereng effect

Eta 1:42 is no joke...

Is anyone curious/nervous why the rosters haven't been posted yet? I'm anxious to see who came back and who wasn't renewed.

Oh lol we will always be one of the last teams in the country to put our roster up… we complain about it every year I don't know why! Our cross country one just went up a few days ago and there aren't any bios or pictures on them

The talent is UNMATCHED ‼️

Emmanuel Wanyonyi lowers his PB in the men’s 800 to 1:41.11 to take the win and inches closer to David Rudisha’s world record time of 1:40.91! #LausanneDL

I love this track needs more of this (looking at you Grant Holloway run some damn open events)

I'm excited for that too

Milton Mallard hired by USC

Well deserved, hated to lose him the way we did...

Anna Cockrell looks DOMINANT in the women's 400m hurdles in Rome! 👀

The Olympic silver medalist easily grabs the win at the Rome Diamond League meeting in 52.59.

Fellow American Shamier Little takes third in 54.15.#RomeDL

I'll always feel negative about Cockrell because her doubling at NCAA's took the title away from us and because she took Little's spot in 2021! But damn is she talented!

Also at Parvej Khan hahahahahaha

Missed Fred earlier.

MY GOODNESS TEBOGO 😯

Olympic 200m champion Letsile Tebogo took a glance at Christian Coleman and started celebrating wayyyy before the line -- and he still clocked 9.87 (+0.3) at Rome Diamond League.

Coleman got off to his signature rocket start but would settle for second in… pic.twitter.com/tixrvsRpXm

I like Tebogo leaning into the heel role after saying he wasn't Noah

Does this mean he's going back to the 400M?

That's my interpretation.

That or he went to Duddley's for lunch.

Fred finished 4th. Tebogo still burning up the track.

WHAT A FINISH 🤯

Letsile Tebogo 🇧🇼 does it again!!!! 19.55 (+0.4) 200m for the Olympic Champ!

He catches Kenny Bednarek 🇺🇲 late. Kenny ran 19.57 (PB). Erriyon Knighton third (19.79) and Fred Kerley fourth (19.81)#ZurichDiamondLeague

WOW! A late finish for Shiann Salmon 🇯🇲 in the Women's 400mH pushes her past Anna Cockrell 🇺🇲, the Olympic Silver Medalist.

52.97 for Shiann Salmon. Cockrell in second with her 53.17 and Shamier Little 🇺🇲 in third 54.07.#ZurichDiamondLeague

Did anyone catch that fun 100m Duplantis Vs Warholm the other day? I was not expecting the outcome or fast times.

Duplantis ran fast 100 times in high school. He has serious sprint speed which gives him an edge over the other vaulters.
