2021 Track Season Results

Mucci was second 12.98, little Abbey Taddeo was 3rd in 13.06
....... leaving the model, dancer Michelle Jenneke to 4th - if this doesn't make her decide to get her ass into gear and not compromise her athletics nothing will. This is her only chance for the Olympics, regardless of what she wants to do after that.
But when Brianna Beahan hits form there'll be 5 Aussies capable of sub 13.

Never have we had such depth - great for helping field a relay team, even if they aren't 11.14 sprinters like Sally Pearson was. They are still tough and won't weaken over 100.
Mucci did recently break 11.50 though so, again, heptathlete strength seems a boon when you put aside the multi and concentrate on maybe two events.

so far early this season for 100 flat:
Beahan 11.45, Mucci 11.47, Taddeo 11.63, Clay 12.03 (how? after that 12.72 hurdles?), Jenneke no 100 time yet

 

Zach jewel ....atl .....6.58 ....

 

And second came Webb ....,atl .....both 2 young athletes ....,great performances at pro level ....

 

Note ...kranz has to perform at the Europeans .....only then can he be considered real quality ......when non Germans are around him ....it should be interesting .....good to see obratzsov back .....and Jacobs and van Jool are very competitive .....for me the euros over 60 are wide open in the men’s .......whereas in the women’s it’s Poland vs England

 

And note Robertson is the only other athlete besides kranz that has run low.5 s ....so experience will count ....

 

Zachary Jewell Central Arkansas 6.58
Jackson Webb Oklahoma 6.59 ( he is a wide receiver on the football team. Wonder what BS excuses the will use to keep him out of the NFL)

That’s 22 men in the world to break 6.60sec in the 60m.
9 White
12 black
1 South Asian (Yupun Abeykoon Sri Lanka)

 

i’ve had the pleasure of seeing Jewell run (and long jump) in person at the Arkansas high school Meet of Champs. he was simply in a league of his own there, despite coming from a small school. despite being far and away the fastest kid in the state, he ended up running track at a non-Division-One university. “weird,” huh? it’s good to see him continuing to run, although it looks like he pulled his hammy in the final (see video below). Jewell and Webb beat some big names to go 1-2 at this meet.

 

Wow, he gets going for such a lithe man. Hope that hamstring isnt too severe...

 

Marybeth (Sant) Price ran in the women’s 60m (see video below), and she had a fine showing. she equaled her season best (7.28) in a race where she led for 55 meters before getting nipped at the line in a very close finish to ultimately take third. her start is explosive, but she struggled to open up to the higher gear in this particular race. good to see her still running and putting up nice performances against some of the world’s elite sprinters.

 

I wouldn't be too concerned yet. They are trying to step carefully regards qualifying for the Olympics. Many meets to go yet and another in the ACT (Canberra).
Australian Championships in Sydney (I'll be there) 12th April so 7 weeks to go yet

 

white lightning,

i’ve been trying to reach you, but the number i have for you isn’t working. please message me on the best way to contact you, when it’s convenient.

 

I will admit to enjoying Felix's running style and she is not a juiced up looking negro female sprinter BUT Price is so tiny and slender in comparison to the other three. She is still struggling to find her form of pre injury, 7.28 is slow in todays world. In many views of the race it looks like Price almost shutdown(panic?) with 5m to go. Just my observation.

 

yes, she's so small it's crazy.
I have lots of respect for Felix' ability and her attitude ... her minister dad taught her respect and humility early apparently ... that "gifts" aren't something to be proud and arrogant about but thankful for. I liked that.

 

Thanks for the videos Jimmy.

I don’t know if he has been mentioned. KC Lightfoot USA PV 6.00m. He is only 21. Actually about a dozen or so hours younger than Mondo Duplantis. The PV looks to be the best it’s ever been. Mondo has some future competition to push heights even higher.
