And Everything Else

 So there I was, with 16 pages of material, wanting to put it ALL into ONE humongous post!
Then I chose to be NICE to you, and cut the pile in half!
So you got (a few hours ago) my report on the Collegiate Conferences!
And now you'll get, well, everything else!

First, a correction and an addition--
I said recently that Allie Wilson's 1:58.18 ws her 1st sub-2--it wasn't!
She ran 1:59.02 in 2021!
Also, in my last post, I reported about Nathaniel Ezekiel's 48.42 in the Big 12 400H.
I left out that it's Nigeria's National Record!

A strong wind blast carried the Javelins at Doha's Diamond League meet--far enough for Anderson Peters that his 305-4 breaks his own National Record of Grenada!
It rates him 5th A-T World!
Jakub Vadlejch was a quality 2nd, his 298-2 getting him the Age 31 Record!
He ranks 16th A-T World!
Cut OFF my World list is Tom Petranoff, his 292-6 dating from 1991.

Alison Dos Santos ran the 400H in 47.24, getting the Meet Record at Doha.
Rai Benjamin was 2nd in 47.49.
Speaking of winds, Noah Lyles had a 2.1 assist him in running the 200 in 19.72, beating Fred Kerley's 19.75!
The weather was pretty bad there, so they moved the Men's Pole Vault INdoors!
Mondo Duplantis won easily, going over 19-9!
It doesn't improve on his INdoor best, and only counts as Doha's INdoor PV Meet Record!

Gabby Thomas's 21.98 over half a lap was wind legal!
It tied Doha's MR!
She beat the 22.07 by Shericka Jackson!
Marileidy Paulino upset Shaunae Miller-Uibo in the 400, 51.20 to 51.84, with SMU's time putting her 3rd!
The Americans swept the Women's SP, with Chase Ealey winning with 64-0.25, beating Maggie Ewen 
(63-4.75) and Jessica Ramsey (62-2.75)!
While a nameless testosterone loaded woman finished first, the winner of the 3000 was Faith Kipyegon, her 8:38.05 beating Jessica Hull's 8:40.97!

Other Doha marks---
Soufiane El Bakkali won the 3000SC by 0.01 seconds, his 8:09.66 nipping the 8:09.67 by Lemecha Girma!
Sang Woo took the HJ with 7-7.75, beating Home Nation favorite Mutaz Barshim, who cleared 7-6.50!
Abel Kipsang's 3:35.70 beat Tim Cheruiyot's 3:36.70 in the 1500!

Ponce, Puerto Rico was host to ATL's latest edition!
And it was a goodie!
(I keep Meet records for the ATL under one umbrella, meaning they're for ALL the ATL meets, wherever they are!)
One such MR came in the 300, where Steven Gardiner's 31.52 also breaks his own National Record of the Bahamas!
Vernon Norwood's 31.81 took 2nd, while 3rd was Nathon Allen's 32.04!
Trayvon Bromell won the 100 in the MR time of 9.92!

Other ATL Meet Records---
Elaine Thompson-Herah won the 100 in 10.93, despite a headwind of 0.7!!
Athing Mu's 50.42 over 400 meters was also an MR!
As was Adele Tracey's 1500 winner of 4:05.96!
She beat Allie Wilson's PR of 4:06.37!
Donald Scott's MR contribution was his TJ of 55-4.75!
Hansle Parchment fought a breeze of 0.2 to take the 110H in 13.15!
Janieve Russell toured one lap with hurdles in 54.09, yet another Meet Record!

Two other MR's in Puerto Rico deserve larger mention!
Ryan Crouser's SP smashed the ground at 74-7.75!
Besides the MR, he also gets the Age 29 Record!
And Alaysha Johnson caused a rumble in the crowd when she shocked by defeating the P.R. WonderGirl, Jasmine Camacho-Quinn, in the 100H, 12.50 to 12.52!
For Johnson, it makes her 18th A-T US, tied with 1 other!

No records, but in other ATL events---
Kirani James's 44.70 took the 400!
Clay Murphy ran 1:45.54 to take the 800!
And Sandi Morris needed a jump-off to win the PV, her 15-5.75 clearance beating the 15-1.75 of Kat Stefanidi!

Great Britain held their super popular Night of the 10000 PB's (something I wish the US would emulate--maybe at Stanford!).
Jessica Judd won the Women's main race, her 31:22.24 beating Amy Eloise-Markovic's 31:25.57.
The Men's race went to Yemaneberhan Crippa's 27:16.18!
In the Mile races, Matt Stonier's 3:54.89 beat Piers Copeland's 3:54.91, while Georgia Griffith won the Women's race in 4:27.81.

In Ireland, Irish woman Louise Shanahan ran her initial sub-2 in the 800, her 1:59.42 also getting her the National Reord!
She beat Ciara Mageaan, the former record holder, who ran 1:59.86!
Two for the price of one!
In Germany, Habitam Alemu claimed Ethiopia's NR in the 1000, her time being 2:34.11.
Adrianna Sulek scored 6290 points to win a Heptathlon in Germany!
Shimane Moula's 1:44.72 won an 800 in France.
And Milt Tentoglou got a World Leader in the LJ in Greece--27-5.25!

A 10K Road Walk in Madrid saw two Americans take part.
Nick Christie finished 33rd in 43:40, way behind winner Persius Karlstrom, who strolled home in 38:42!!
Robyn Stevens did a lot better, her 46:37 putting her 14th, behind 20K WR holder Shenjie Qieyang's 43:07.
Stevens said this was a training session for her, as she readies for a 20K on May 28th!
Also, the course was a bit hilly, and it was warmish!

The remainder of this post is all about the High Schoolers!
And none performed better than Gary Martin, whose 3:57.98 for the full Mile was the fastest ever in a HS-only race!!
Jim Ryun's 3:58.3 in 1965 was the previous fastest!
It makes him 3rd A-T HS!!

Natalie Cook had a good double, the only problem being it was in the 1600 and 3200!!!
But her times are worth reporting--9:48.25 at the 3200, and 4:40.29 over half the distance!
Too bad they don't qualify for anybody's lists!!

Molly Haywood PV'ed 14-3, making her 10th A-T HS, tied with 1 other!
In 2nd was the 14-0 by Skyler Schuller!
It made her 17th A-T HS, tied with a whopping 9 others!!
Jace Posey is the latest HJ find, his 7-4.25 making him 14th A-T HS, tied with 4 others!
Micah Larry could be the find of the year in the LJ, as his 25-11.50 makes him 15th A-T HS, tied with 1 other!

Rheinhardt Harrison ran another quick 800, his latest being 1:48.62!
Will Sumner showed his speed by timing 45.78 in a 400!
Julian Franjieh ran the rare (for HS'ers!) 3000SC, his 9:08.46 making him 21st A-T HS!

A trio of HS sprints need highlighting--
Micayah Holland's 11.26 misses my HS list by just 0.01 seconds!
She also had a 200 of 23.13.
Pierre Goree sped a 100 in 10.22, making him 22nd A-T HS, tied with 2 others!
And Rodrick Pleasant had a pleasant day, his 20.40 making him 16th A-T HS!
But removed FROM my HS list was Quincy Watts, whose 20.50 dated from 1987!!

See you soonish with more Records & Marks & such!
