I had hoped and prayed this wasn’t true but sadly it has been confirmed. RIP to a really good friend from the oval, Ciaran was such a good guy and just a joy to be around and compete against. Shocking news, we lost a good soul ❤️😢

I keep trying to describe what that race and time should equate to for a high school kid and i just can’t. Words don’t do it justice.
As crazy as Alan Webb’s HS Mile record is it would be like shaving 5+ seconds off of it. Maybe more.
Someone’s going to have a GREAT weekend story for school on Monday 😅
16-year-old Cooper Lutkenhaus improves his personal best, already the HS record, by an enormous 3+ seconds to take second in the #USATFOutdoors final in 1:42.27.
He sets a new U18 world record and becomes the youngest athlete ever to represent Team USA at a World Championship.
Lutkenhaus moved from seventh to second in the last 200m, splitting a ridiculous 12.48 last 100m down the homestretch.
Allyson Felix is the most decorated track and field athlete in history with 31 combined Olympic and World Championships medals…31!!!
7 Olympic Golds, 14 World Championship Golds
57. Calvin Johnson
60. Candace Parker
63. Allyson Felix
65. Kylian Mbappé

Gutted for Athing Mu…said before it started she may need to take this one out a tad faster. Ugh when you slow down like that going into the turn anything can happen, they freaking all hit the brakes at the same time
Pumped for all the finals tonight, Mens 1500m especially. My thoughts:
-no one likely takes it out hard, Nguse starts clipping 57s after 500-600m and slowly winds it up into last 200
-Kessler needs to latch on to Nguse for as long as possible
-Hocker needs to Hocker
ANY of the college kids can make this team, it’s always hard your first time doing 3 rounds though. I’d say I’m shocked almost half the field are college kids but I’m really not, these next 5-10 years are going to be insanely hard to make Team USA 1500m squad
Ups and downs, injuries and setbacks, but at 35 years old, Evan Jager finds a way.
Jager finishes fourth in the 2024 U.S. Olympic Trials steeplechase in 8:28.73, but with third-placer James Corrigan outside the ranking quota, Jager is currently in line to represent Team USA in his third Olympic Games after missing the 2021 Trials with a soleus injury.
