On the boards: The legend grows- Cade Flatt ready to break high school national 800m record on 5 miles per week
The shoe is supposed to be more stable as the masses seemingly have preferred the Vaporlfy over the Alphafly.
We breakdown NCAAs, the USATF NYC Grand Prix, Portland Track Festival, 50th NYC Mini and are joined by guest Cade Flatt before he tries to break Michael Granville's 26-year-old high school 800m record.
Behind him, the top five all broke 1:45. The woman's race was won by Italy's Elena Bello in 1:59.84. Ethiopia’s Abraham Seme won the steeple in 8:14.87. Throws highlighted the non-distance action as Olympic champ Daniel Stahl beat a deep field to win the discus with 70.62m.

Kately Tuohy got NCAA title #1 as Courtney Wayment and Abby Steiner crushed NCAA records.
Yared Nuguse returned to good form, Hobbs Kessler didn't have the magic he had last year this meet, Emma Coburn was 5 seconds faster at 1500 than 3 weeks ago, Weini Kelati went sub 15:00 again, and others (Raevyn Rogers 1:58, Karissa Schweizer 4:00) did as one might expect.
The time is faster than Alexa Efraimson's 4:33.29 1600m record and also converts to a 4:27.71 which is faster than Mary Cain's 4:28.35 high school mile record. Wiley's previous PB was just 4:37.98.
