Trayvon Bromell got second place though! Turns 20 in July and ran 9.96.

Yah but apparently he made a homophobic tweet against lesbians or something, which makes it hard to root for him.

Hoping Gatlin has a disastrous 200

[Macie Lightfoot]

Georganne Moline was in the mix but fell at hurdle #8 :\

Top three were Shamier Little (2x NCAA champion, 20 years old), Cassandra Tate, and Kori Carter. Lashinda Demus misses the team by 0.03

[Macie Lightfoot]

Maggie Vessey falls with 200 to go and Ajee' Wilson loses a shoe in the process and just holds on for third. Montano, Martinez, and Wilson are going to Beijing.

[Macie Lightfoot]

lmfao Duane Solomon spent all this time talking about how he's going to take the race into ~*~THE TWILIGHT ZONE~*~

...and then he went out super fast and just stopped with 50 meters to go and didn't even finish

[Macie Lightfoot]

Jenna Prandini is the national champion in the 200

[Macie Lightfoot]

Jeff Porter misses the US team by 0.005 he had a good start but his second half fell apart.

A few shocks from the US trials this time.

British Trials are next week. I can't see Team GB being that full tbh, since selectors have been extra harsh this year. First of all, you need 2 A Standards AND Top 2 at the trials to achieve auto selection. If you fail to reach top 2, you can only be selected if you have a realistic chance at making the final in Rio. Selectors also get final say over IAAF invitations, so someone who doesn't win the Trials but is high enough in the world rankings to receive an invite from IAAF to fill up remaining spots could still get rejected if selectors don't see enough potential in them. Men's middle distance in particular is looking likely that no one will be sent. Also, if you plan to compete at the Euro Juniors or U23s, then you aren't allowed to compete in that same event at Beijing

I'm going on Friday and Saturday to watch, but all the main finals will be on Sunday (which is the only day being televised by the BBC).

omfg Candace Hill just broke Kaylin Whitney's 200 world youth record with a 22.43. Lauren Rain Williams got second for USA with a 22.90. They're both 16 years old.

Candace's 100/200 double is the second at World Youth after Jodie Williams fwiw

[Macie Lightfoot]

omfg and Sammy Watson just negative splitted a 2:03.54 to win O_O went out in 63 and closed in 60

[Macie Lightfoot]

Tara Davis wins LJ for USA with 6.41. She's another 16 year old. USA's class of 2017 is ridiculously stacked on the girl's side especially

[Macie Lightfoot]

this is the funniest thing ever to me

edit: apparently Michelle Visage's daughter is a hurdler and goes to the same high school as Tara Davis this is all to hilarious to me

Ajee' Wilson is not going to be racing at Worlds because of injury. Real shame.

In more controversial news, however, Nick Symmonds has been dropped off of the Team USA roster! There's been a lot of controversy because's openly refusing to sign a conditions statement because one of the conditions is that everyone must wear Nike at any Team USA event, but there aren't any guidelines as to what is defined as a Team USA event and since he's sponsored by Brooks he could get in trouble and he wouldn't be allowed to bring his trainers on the plane and all this ****. I don't know, Nick's been very vocal about all of this and he had some big press conference tonight where he's blowing up USATF's spot so it should be interesting for the next few weeks.

Probably weirdest/most random interaction I've seen on Twitter
