    Kid’s insanely strong. Him and CJ are our future for the men. Women are farrrrrrrr out-performing the men on the international stage.

    First US senior world record since the 60s.

    Still lost by 9 kilos bc Li Dayin snatches like 2.5x bodyweight, should be right there for silver come summer

    Olivia Reeves is the female to pay attention to, her training numbers aren't far from last 76kg olympic champion and the class this cycle is 71.

    Olivia made Kate (a silver medalist) switch weight classes. If that tells everyone how good Olivia is.

    She’s certainly determined enough to come back, but that’s a long road to go through another quad, getting older, etc.

    Nico with a 1:48.00 in his first outdoor 800-meter run, third on the NAU all-time list. Love that he mixes in these shorter distances toward the end of the season after crushing it in the 3K, 5K, 10K all year. Dude is special :ohgosh:

    Alyson Churchill with a 15:17.20 5K, her PB. She apparently ran 16:06 in 2022. Mike Smith + 7K feet = :ballin:

    Hilda Olemomoi from Bama is a beast, 15:06.42

    I didn't even see that, just checking the heats for NAU runners

    But damn

    For the second time in a month, an NCAA runner has destroyed the collegiate 10,000-meter record in their debut at the distance. On March 16, Northern Arizona’s Nico Young ran 26:52.72 to take 15 seconds off Sam Chelanga‘s NCAA record and become the first collegiate man under the 27:00 barrier. On Thursday night, it was Parker Valby‘s turn as the Florida star ran 30:50.43 at the Bryan Clay Invitational in Azusa, Calif., to become the first collegiate woman under the 31:00 barrier. Valby took more than 27 seconds off the previous record of 31:18.07 set by Iowa State’s Lisa Uhl in 2010.

    Valby won the race by more than two minutes and lapped every other runner in the field at least once.

    Even if it was, it doesn't diminish it. Gotta know how to best throw in wind out of all directions and out of it.

    it's an event where you go to throw pr's due to the high winds that always run a certain direction. 3m pr is massive. I will say he was gonna break it anyway given he threw 71m at 23 years old.

    NAU record was 1:45.79 by Lopez Lomong. Would have been second at outdoor nationals last year :fap:

    The idea is by having #1 you can create insanely strict testing rules in #2. Basically zero tolerance standardized testing across the board.

    Welp our men’s 4x4 got dq’d which likely cost them all $10k and makes them have to run again tomorrow to qualify for the Olympics. They’ll easily do it but a dumb mistake.
