    Sad to see Ali didnt get her 4 peat. Kind of mean Sadie deciding to blow that up for her in her final year.

    Should Rulon Gardner feel bad about defeating Aleksandr Karelin at the Olympics in his final match? The guy had NEVER lost a single international match and had won the previous three Olympic golds. Was Gardner supposed to roll over and play dead so Karelin could finish his career undefeated?

    Winning and losing is what sports are all about. I'm sure Ince does not think it was "mean" of Englehardt to race her at 800m.

    calm down and get off your soap box. that didnt require a speech. what part of "mostly in jest" do you not understand exactly? why did you ignore everything else I wrote after that?

    Sadie takes it, 2:03.99. Ince second in 2:05.52.

    And after all, you can make the argument that Ali got a pass for her win in 2022 when two of the greatest high school half milers of all time chose to run the 400 (Willis) and the mile (Whittaker) at Brooks because they were both going to be running the 800 at the U20 Championships that year and didnt want to overdose on 800s just like Sadie has been focusing so much on trying to qualify for the 15. What goes around comes around... May Ali have a great career at Oregon.

    Oh wow, I forgot that Willis and Whittaker didn’t run the 800 in 2022. Yes, Ince getting 3 wins is amazing in itself and probably balances out.

    Ince and Sadie going head to head this year was a highlight of the meet.
