JENNY B IS MY NEW IDOL. LETS THANK ALL THE AMERICAN LADIES WHO RAN IN THE WOMAN'S 1500! THE U S OF A IS NOW ON THE MAP IN THE FEMALE DISTANCE RUNNING EVENTS.
Yes, Jenny B is a true star. But let's celebrate all our athletes! Can you believe that Shalane was sixth (of the USA runners).... at 4:06 and change?!! When was the last time six US women ran sub 4:07 in one race?
Right before saying that she must have been close to the collegiate record he actually said that it was 4:06. Did he not watch the race and see the ran 3:59?
Funny before reading any posts my initial reaction to Jenny breaking the collegiate record was how much the announcers didn't care. I nominate Flotrack staff to impeach and overpower the sitting NBC announcers using force if necessary.
Please for the sake of the running community get a new annoucing crew. These guys are horrible. I have actually resorted to watching meets on NBC with the television muted because these guys suck so bad.
I love it!
