I'll edit in high school stuff soon bc the meet is just finishing up and SO MANY records got broken

[Headie]

Watched a bit of the US trials last night, Vasthi Cunningham looks like a real promising talent!

In other news, Team GB have arrived in Portland! But our governing body is being tight bastards right now and rejecting loads of invites for athletes who get invited by the IAAF. They just want medals and aren't sending IAAF invite athletes for "financial reasons"

[Headie]

Why have I only just discovered this interview:

Youtube video

The bitterness in that clip @ the other countries having reserves This might be tied with my favourite post-race interview ever along with Tiffany and Cindy's bitchy eye rolling interview <333

[Headie]

Coverage starting on the red button at about 6.15!

[Headie]

Diamond League kicks off in Doha this Friday!

[Headie]

Looking forward to Gotzis this weekend, hopefully KJT and Morgan Lake can get the qualifying marks for Rio

Kat is currently leading the Heptathlon.

Also Sound of Silence by Dami Im keeps playing in the stadium like every 10 minutes, I love it <333

[Headie]

They're playing Euphoria now

Olympic Trials start this time in 2 weeks

Also, it's scary how much Lynsey Sharp (GB) and Susan Kuijken (NED) lookalike!

[Macie Lightfoot]

Forgot to mention that a few weeks ago I was watching some random low-key meet on TV (American Track League in Atlanta) and oh my god what a disaster it was...

-Angelo Taylor runs 54.xx in the intermediates
-Sanya Richards-Ross does not finish the 100 bc of a hamstring issue
-DeeDee Trotter runs 51 high in the 400 and then collapses with an asthma attack all while the commentator notes "if there's one thing that's for certain, you can never count out DeeDee Trotter"
-and then idk, more Lolo Jones theatrics since she doesn't start her race

yeah, this is definitely It for a lot of the big-name Americans. A lot of them aren't gonna make the team and it's gonna be a big changing of the guard across the board in almost all events.

[Macie Lightfoot]

holy **** Sydney McLaughlin just obliterated the high school record in the intermediates with a 54.46 she's only 16. I'm excited to see her in Olympic Trials. Gonna be tough as hell for her to make the team but it'd be great if she made the finals and got like top 5.

She also split 50.93 FAT on a relay two days ago fwiw

[Headie]

Omg 54.46 is insane, especially for someone of that age!

I can't wait for Trials season, UK champs next week and US Trials not long after, should be great to watch <3

[Macie Lightfoot]

I'll be on vaca during the UK Trials so I'll be relying on your updates Hayden hun x

Aside from McLaughlin, another New Jersey person I'm very excited about moving forward is Keturah Orji. She broke the American record at NCAAs for Triple Jump. American women are so weak in that event so it's refreshing to have someone who looks promising for once.

[Headie]

Former world champion Dai Greene fails to qualify for the 400m Hurdles final

Also looks like Queen Christine Ohuruogu has pulled out </3 I'm doubting she'll even be selected for Rio now tbh.

[Headie]

Live coverage starts on Red Button @ 2pm (10 minutes)

[Headie]

Tiff and Cindy both qualify for Rio <333 Cindy ran with the shoelaces on one of her shoes undone
