17 year old Trinity SHADD-CERES has a jump of 6.49 in the long jump in August, impressive! However it seems like she is more focused on volleyball atm.

DL Final in Eugene, Oregon just finished. Overall, a great showing. 
 

Marco Arop placed second behind Wanyoyni in the men’s 800m, in 1:43.84 (NR, overtaking Brandon McBride’s 1:44.20)
 

Sarah Mitton recorded a best mark of 19.94m in women’s shot put, placing second behind Ealey. 
 

Andre DeGrasse won the men’s 200m in 19.76, which bodes well for him going into Paris.

43 year old Malindi Elmore, who is an Athens (!) and Tokyo Olympian, got the Olympic Marathon standard in Berlin and came within 18 seconds of the Canadian record. She will automatically qualify for the Olympics unless three or more Canadian women hit the standard.

I'm not sure where to put this, but Shawn Barber, world champion pole vaulter, has died at the age of 29. It's always so tragic when someone so young dies. He popped into my head a few weeks ago, wondering what happened to him after Rio. RIP.
