2023 World Outdoor Season
- Thread starter mastermulti
- Start date
Geiser and Bieber take 2nd and 3rd at the ACC Championships, with times of 11.34 and 11.35 respectively.
In the 200m Bieber finished 3rd, Geiser 4th, and their teammate Megan McGinnis finished 2nd! A nice job by the 3 girls from Duke.
Cole Beck only finished 4th in the men's final with a time of 10.17, after being the leading qualifier yesterday.
He was a DNF in the 200m.

Don't forget we have the Big Ten Champs and the Pac 12 Champs. In the Big Ten I'm excited to see how Iowa Sprinters Austin Kresley
and Kalen Walker do over the next 2 days! Good luck to both of these fine young man. Hope they light up the track!
It is possible that Devin Quinns Big Ten 100 Meters Record of 10.01 could be in danger. As long as one of our guys has the 100 Meters
Record I will be happy. I miss watching Devin Quinn run. Wish he wouldn't have gave up the sport!

Kalen Walker has the 2nd fastest time of all qualifiers for the mens 100 meters. He ran a 10.18 +1.0 so it's legal. His teammate
Austin Kresley ran a 10.25 0.1 wind. Hope they go faster in the finals. Kresley also ran a 20.49 wind legal to qualify for the 200 finals.

I looked and I can't tell to be honest. To me he looks like he might be half hispanic. It says on the Iowa University site his parents are Wallace Kresley and Isabel Valle but there aren't any pics.

with that nose he is white...... Kennedy Blackmon 11.19 came 4th against some PED users in the Big 12 finals, she was closing well
Those are his parents, so I think there is no question.
Kennedy Blackmon on the other hand, I'm not so sure....

Bonds of Arizona wins the Pac 12 100m hurdles in 12.75...pretty sure she is white.

Talia Bonds

Bonds time of 12.75 would have beat Nadine Visser at the 2018 Euro Champs and placed her 3rd in that race,,,,she would have finished 4th at the Tokyo Olympic games based on that time...This lady deserves our attention.

I would be happy if Browning gets a 10.15 to 10.25 as he has to round himself into shape again.
Whelpton like a few other young Australian Sprinters had one big race at the beginning of the season then
went backwards. It was a reverse peak for many of the Australian Sprinters. Very odd but hope Whelpton can
start to get back on track. Many of these fellow sprinters could learn from Browning's Training Program and
timing your peak condition at the right time.

Mark my Words Guys. Hernik Larsson is gonna have a great season. He wants to be a role model for young sprinters
growing up there. Sweden just put Henrik Larsson on the Hall of Fame for breaking the 60 meters Swedish Record. He
is gonna smash his 10.20 personal best this year. Just watch!
After the 2023 European Indoor Championships Success, the Swedish 60 Meters National Record Holder takes his place in
the Wall of Fame! Henrik Larsson "wants to be a role model".

Thanks for the update. Great times. The finals are in about an hour. I'm trying to watch it but having issues. That sometimes happens
when so many people are watching it streaming. Should have it working before the final if I can stay up that late. If not I will have to
see what happened tommorow. Good luck to all 3 of these sprinters!

they both improved 1/100th with 1mps less helpful wind than in the heats. Those are tiny positives. Other little positives" Pb for Whelpton and now close to big Eddie and 3rd best Kiwi all-time. Rohan average of his top 10 is now down to 10.07. I think he will benefit from going to Europe.
He needs that one extra metre (1%) and this same this consistency to be in the mix for finals at any big events IMHO. Can they continue to chisel away for perfect form?
