U.S. men looking really strong in their heats. Hall was coasting and ran 44.28!
These heats are wild. This will really test the RC system moving forwards. 44.66 didn't qualify from that crazy Norman heat and is running tomorrow! If you are a low guy that is touch and go just to get 3rd, at what point do you mail it in and run a 46.5 as a warmup and solely focus on dropping the hammer on the guys that went all-out today but still missed out? A lot easier to do this over one lap of the 400 vs 3.75 of the 1500m. Surprised we haven't seen an obvious one of these efforts yet.

Letsrun should reconsider the 'drop link from the middle of the post' idea. The middle of "If you are a 44[dot]high/45 guy" was misinterpreted as a link, but that wouldn't have been too bad if the link was kept in the text. As it stands it was turned into "If you are a low guy".
