Because her family lives on the East Coast? Because she feels like it? Because July in Florida is beautifully temperate? Maybe there's a coach she wants to talk to?
Her family lives in New Jersey which is not close to Florida. Try looking at a map.
July in Florida is not anything close to temperate. It's hot and humid.
And she doesn't need to run a race in Florida in order to talk to a coach in Florida. One has nothing to do with the other.
Next time you post something try to make sense.
I dont know anything about her. Any chance she runs under another flag?

Looks like Wiley just ran a 1:58 at the Memphis ATL meet. Maybe the two of them can push each other under 1:57 (if Addy is entered, as well).
I really hope Wiley is in it too (unless she gets a spot and would prefer to be in the London DL 800). Her agent being the meet contact is a good sign. There's no 15 so she'd have to be running the 8.
That's a very bizarre meet for Athing Mu to race in. There is a Sound Running women's 800 in Los Angeles in 8 days. Why in the world would Athing Mu travel all the way to Florida when there is a perfectly good pro 800 in her home town?
She's ducking Hodgkinson. And Moraa. If she had the mettle to straight up race them, she would have entered the July 20th London DL meet.
Mu for professional reasons will avoid the DL like hell, she wants to keep the "she was robbed of a gold medal" story, trying to change the US qualification system. She ruins her/ kersey's whole argument if she shows up and gets smoked
We've been here before. Best not to get too excited for this until she's actually standing at the start line.
Exactly. Between Kersee's "style" and Mu's quirks, there's about a 20% chance she actually runs. But she does need practice not tripping others, so I commend her for racing if she actually gets there.

This.
I'm a huge Athing Mu fan but it would indeed make more sense to join this race.
That's...a choice. Glad she's racing, but weird meet to do it at.
A chance so goes balls to the wall and tries to touch the WR and 'show' the IOC/USATF that she should have been at the Olympics. I expect fireworks, for better or worse
Why not? If she’s recovered from her injuries and feeling good, she might as well see if she can run some fast times.
Plus: Hasn’t the biggest criticism of her been her lack of racing? I would think people would be glad to see her in a race again.
Other than replying to your post, I could care less about Mu. Nia didn't whine like a baby when Mu tripped her up in 2021.
I haven't seen a response from Mu since the 800m. Can you link to where she has 'whined like a baby' for the rest of us to see? I thought she went silent.
