Day 2 over, tomorrow is the day I've been most excited for though. A day full of finals and plenty of places on the plane to Rio to be won!

It's live on BBC2 tomorrow from 1pm to 5pm!

US Juniors are this weekend. Sydney McLaughlin ran 54.54, with two other high school girls behind her in 55.89 and 56.16.

HOWEVER, high school freshman Tia Jones (15 years old) ran a wind-legal 12.84 in the 100H trials and broke the high school national record and tied the world junior record :o :o :o :o :o

Headie 26-06-2016 09:27 AM

Yeah I just came in here to post about Tia Jones, I knew you would beat me to it :laugh: That's an insane time for a 15(!!!) year old.

Out of curiosity who is the other person who ties with her WJR? Did she go on to be very successful?

Also I really hope Keni Harrison break the WR this year

Headie 26-06-2016 11:07 AM

Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake has pulled out the 200m, really disappointed as I wanted to see him run after his amazing sub-20 performance earlier this year. Hopefully he'll still be picked based on that performance.

Live action starts at 1pm!

Headie 26-06-2016 11:30 AM

Jess Ennis-Hill has set a new PB in the Long Jump of 6.63 over in Germany :clap1:

I'm so excited for this Jess vs Kat battle in Rio :clap1:

Headie 26-06-2016 12:32 PM

Dina is def gonna win the 200, she looked so easy in the heats just then

Headie 26-06-2016 01:03 PM

Seb Rodger so close to the standard </3 That was a great race though!

Headie 26-06-2016 01:30 PM

Headie 26-06-2016 03:01 PM

US Olympic Trials are already off to an upset (depending on who you talk to at least) -- Duane Solomon doesn't make the 800 semifinals.

Macie Lightfoot 01-07-2016 11:48 PM

Donovan Brazier also does not make the semifinal.

Macie Lightfoot 02-07-2016 12:11 AM

Laura Roesler did not qualify for the women's 800 semis.

Macie Lightfoot 02-07-2016 12:13 AM

Ajee' Wilson and Olivia Baker out to the lead right away in heat 3. Very familiar sight for me -- watched them both race in high school many many times.

Macie Lightfoot 02-07-2016 12:20 AM

eek, Raevyn Rogers also doesn't qualify for the semis.

Macie Lightfoot 02-07-2016 01:03 AM

Sanya Richards-Ross doesn't even finish the first round of the 400... is it bad if I give a :joker: emoji? Sorry but her whole #LastLap campaign has been a huge joke

Macie Lightfoot 02-07-2016 01:49 AM

Bernard Lagat dropped out of the 10k in his last Olympic Trials and his last season of track. Kind of a shame but he's old. Biggest theme with this year's trials is a huge changing of the guard.

Macie Lightfoot 02-07-2016 02:45 AM

Usain Bolt pulled out of Jamaican Trials due to a hamstring injury
