Video of Alexandra Carlson's mile prelim.... Hopefully she'll have something left in the tank for the 3000 if she competes in that race. The 3000 might be tough, since 12 of the competitors in the 3000m race have run faster times than Alexandra this season, as opposed to only 4 who had run faster than her in the mile. Go RU.Looking at the splits, Carlson was with the leaders but fell back in the last 600 meters. Her final 200 meters was really slow compared to the field. I don't know if she slowed down to save herself for the 3000 meters realizing she would not qualify for the finals in the mile.
Sincere Robinson finished 9th in the long jump. All 8 jumpers who finished ahead of him exceeded 26 feet.
Absolutely favors those from higher altitudes. See Mexico City Olympics. Kip Keino ran Jim Ryun into the ground. Having said that most in Alex’s heat from sea level (ish) locationsHope she runs the 3,000. In choosing these championship meet sites, I suppose there is no consideration given to altitude? Wouldn’t that provide an advantage to student athletes whose colleges are located in higher altitude? It’s not like the Olympics where athletes can train in higher altitudes in order to prepare themselves.
