Athing and Ajee make it looks so effortless, but both love to front run,
especially Ajee. Rodgers is the kicker, which she did so well at the 2019
World Championship. I could see Rodgers letting them duke it out upfront,
and then coming on strong in the final 100m.

Kate Grace is definitely the underdog here, and she looked surprisingly good in
the Semis.

Athing-Ajee-Rodgers should all go through.

I would love to see Ajee and Athing move up to 1500m. I think Ajee said
she is moving up after the Olympics. We need some AA women at 1500/mile.
Athing is a youngster, and is just into her career, so she will be focused on 800m.
But I hope she moves up later on down the road. Her style of running reminds me
Gidey.

It’s a shame to see Sammy Watson in this state as a young runner. She’s the
example of why going pro too soon can destroy a runner’s career. All of her
PRs at the time she turned pro were set prior to her arrival at Texas AM...That
was a glaring indication that she wasn’t very good even though she had won the
NCAA Championship at 800m. She’s only 21, basically, still a baby, so
maybe she can get better. But the division is so stacked, and her ability is
tremendously lacking right now, I just don’t see it. ....Maybe she should move up?
