Julia tunks apparently fouled a 67 meter throw by falling out of a circle at a highschool meet.

Which meet?

Another new NR for  Samba-Mayela in the women’s 100m hurdles, clocking 12.52 at the Pure Athletics Sprint Elite Meet! @Benolympique

 

 Looking like a real medal threat for the Olympics (this time probably won’t win one, but she’s been PBing left and right and only needs to shave off a couple hundredths or so)

Do you think that would be enough for a medal in Paris?

If I had to guess, probably not, but it could put her in contention if the conditions aren’t the best or a couple of the favourites have an off-day. 
 

I’d say anything sub 12.43 would definitely be guaranteed a medal.

It's been an exciting day for with just turned 17 year old Phoebe Gill running 1:57.86 in the 800m in Belfast earlier today.

 

Assuming that the time is ratified it would be the 2nd fastest time in the world by any age group this year, and the 2nd fastest by an U18 ever.

44.09 PB and Canadian record for Christopher Morales-Williams in the men’s 400m at the PAC-12 Championships

44.05 for  Christopher Morales-Williams in the men’s 400m at the SEC Championships!!  

 

@intoronto got the meet wrong before 

 

New WL, PB, NR (as mentioned), and would’ve won gold at the last two World Championships, and silver at Tokyo 2020.

Time revised to 44.05, would have been silver in Tokyo!
