    I feel like this deserves more attention. Obviously her ceiling in the 400m should be high due to her 200m PB; nonetheless, it's great to have another sub-50 runner for the Team USA 4x4.

    Honestly if she keeps progressing, if Sydney and Britton have a strong season, and if Athing/Steiner/Diggs can go 49.x, they have a legitimate shot at the WR.

    Didn't Gabby start out as a 400M runner while at Harvard? The first time I saw her was running an indoor 400M while at Harvard.

    Given the load of the college season, you can write off Diggs and Wilson being factors at the global level competitions. I suspect Gabby won't be concentrating on the 400M much and this was a one off to make up the form she lost coming back from injury.

    Agreed. She should be able to get into the low 21.5x range this season

    She's also far more popular among people I know than Shacarri due to how she acts (well - how she doesn't act)

    Gabby's looks don't hurt either. I don't like to comment on female athletes' looks as to do so is a form of objectification - but Gabby is hot! And as a Harvard graduate in neuroscience, clearly in a different league altogether.

    Gabby never ran an open 400m in college. She did the 4x400 a lot. Maybe you're thinking of 300m races? She previously said that the 300m is her favorite race.

    But her freshman year, she predominantly was a 60/200/LJer (she does have some TJ marks too). She ultimately dropped the jumps, but she is still in the conference record books for her LJ marks.

    has she been skipping her drug tests again?

    Don't lie...

    I'm glad that violations are cleared when it's proven the testers were in the wrong.

    Unfortunately 2/3 of hers still stand.

    At best, whereabouts violations show that the athlete is dumb, irresponsible, and/or immature.

    Gabby seems outwardly like none of those, which is what makes her standing violations doubly suspicious.

    Perhaps it was the 300M. Thought it was the 400M though.
