@Willus01 @travismillerx13 There were no sensors on the blocks when Adaejah ran her 22.33. A WR cannot be ratified without sensors reaction time regardless of the eyeball test.

@morganobrien @TheKeyFiles @kendi_kendall I have no issue with the line up today. It makes sense. Great leadership requires clear and thorough communication and it appears that failed today. When you are juggling other people’s hopes and dreams there is a great level of care needed.

[Gerald Phiri OLY @PEER_ee]

@APQuintonJones @morganobrien @kendi_kendall Probably. I’ve had times when I had 6 athletes warm up but 1 or 2 know they are running for sure. I would not change that unless athlete gets hurt in warm up, etc. Did Coach tell Kendall she was running. If so, this is messed up especially since she didn’t run prelims.
