But thats just her personality. so oh well.

It is a ploy to keep the stalkers away. Mission accomplished.

Maggie is a former sprinter who moved up to the 800, sprinters by nature are very high strung, want instant gratification, expect a lot from themselves, Maggie shows a lot of emotion and I for one love it.

Your my idol!!! and i love you!! your the best keep it up i am so proud of you...your putting a good name on the sport and putting a good name on our event...keep it up i knew you could do it all along...i love you girl stay strong...i believe.....GOOD LUCK AND GO GIRL!!!!!! kick their ***

GO MAGGIE! You exemplify everyday GREATNESS!! All the best!

Sounds exactly like my friends from Santa Cruz...like kinda where's she's..ya know... from?

I love it, I've seen Eastbound and down, that's **&^$ awesome. She now has become my #1 favorite runner of all time, sorry Henry Rono, you got bumped down.

Is it just me...or does she have a country accent?Where is she from?

I think maggie is great, we really need people like her in our sport. She had a well conserved race and looked good doing it. Expect great things from her in the Finals.

One of the critiques of flotrack is that you guys aren't very professional with your interviews, and that is fair to say. But in situations like this where you have a level of familiarity and comfort with Maggie, it makes the interview so much better.

Track needs someone like maggie to win to bring attention to the sport--looks and personality baby

Littlenukebo- you're a douche- she's great. Our sport is full of boring turds much like yourself-

i think Maggies a little psycho. In my opinion ever since i saw her in th Euro workout shes been a little crazy to me. like way way over hyped.

But thats probably a good thing. i just i think she should tone down a notch.

East Bound and Down reference??? Is she single? She gets better with every video.

Ryan, Please give a little background on Jesse Owens and the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, where he won 4 gold medals. I heard that his grand daughter will be one of the presenters of the long jump medals, along with the son (I think) of Luz Long, the German silver medalist in the long jump.

i've been wondering this, but what do the letters "JO" stand for, on their jerseys? its on the upperleft side of the jersey's by the shoulder (the right side of the screen for us).

Maggie looked great in her prelim, the pace was 64 @ the 400 and she took the lead and just maintained as Jelimo passed her, did not take anything out of her and she is ready for a great semi, go Maggie!
