UPDATE - Road to Paris Official T&F thread! US OLYMPIC TEAM TRIALS Track & Field Starts June 21 (2024)

It's been fun. Toodles until tomorrow!

So happy for Carri, Melissa, and TeeTee. What a story! Training partners that have seen the good and bad of each other in practice and now are Olympians together as first timers. Omg. I was emotional seeing them celebrate together. What a moment. Dennis gotta be on cloud 9!

That run was a 10.68~ if she ran through the line. She irks me with that lol but a WL is a WL!

Now this is a great pic. Wow!

Oh brother…why are you here then? Get over it. For those unaware, he tested positive for Covid during Tokyo Olympics and couldn’t compete so he’s still bitter.

Yes I teared up too. Had to be a great feeling!

I’m still so shocked at TT. She really fought for that.
That’s why she a relay staple.

People give Dennis flack. While he may not be the best he makes sure they make a team.

So self important. Move on

I really thought Aleia had finally figured it out this season.

Me too. I really thought she’d make it.
I wonder what’s holding her back. So much talent

Alexis still cannot break 50. I don’t think the US women will medal in the 400m.

Who is her coach?

Sadly I don’t think we will either. The collegiate will struggle to break 50 come Paris

Seriously, he is such a loon. I don’t know why he doesn’t get more smoke for his craziness.

Out of the US collegians left, I could see Aaliyah Butler being a surprise finalist/top 5 in the Olympic finals. She underperformed at regionals and NCAAs and probably has the most left in the tank.

I also wouldn’t be surprised to see Nyckisha Harbor and Amber Anning making the final either. It would be fascinating to see if Chris Johnson can pull off having 3 of his collegiate athletes go deep into the Olympics.

Why isn’t Saysh sponsoring anyone?

Good question. They're only 2 years old? I'm sure they will soon.

Alexis trains at Arkansas with that elite 400m group with Shamier and others. The Johnson brothers seem to have that 400 figured out. Whew!

It’s hard to call my top 3 between Aliyah, Kaylyn, Kendall, Lynna, Alexis, and Isabella. That final will be HOT tonight.

I wonder if they're trying to get their money together or if increased manufacturing costs are a concern. If you notice, Allyson’s spikes aren't available to purchase on the Saysh website. They could still be going through testing as well.

Oh wow!
I’m hoping Alexis breaks 50 tonight. I think she has it in her.

If true, then I would have thought they’d be further along as AF had her spikes on at the last Olympics.

I think Saysh was started in either 2020 or 2021

If he wasn't there, no one would be interviewing him... but he would be the one to frame his experience in 2021 like that... ugh... stay home, I don't need it... cause he know if he makes top 3, his arse gonna be right there in processing...

Heats for the semis.

Nothing against Sherika because I like her and have her fighting for Gold. But now I hope we really do sweep.
I cannot STAND Jamaican track twitter. Like why would you quote her post to say that?
