USATF decided to have those WC Trials (aka USATF Championships) happen elsewhere, and a month or so prior to the rest of the meet!
But it may bring on questions about distance doubling, and an athlete's ability to do so!
Not so for the Multi's!
You want a Multi's person to have some recovery time before the World's comes to Eugene in July!
Makes sense--Besides, Multi's people don't normally double in an individual event!
That said, the Dec & Hept were incredible!!
Garrett Scantling and Kyle Garland scored a total of 17,587 points, which is the most ever scored in one meet by a pair of American Men!!
Add Zach Ziemek, and you have a trio of Americans scoring 26,160 points, an average of 8720--which just happens to be what Garland scored in 2nd place!!
Garland's 4660 led Scantling's 4503 after Day One!
Ziemek looked good with his 4404 in 3rd!
But Scantling had a strong 2nd day (4364), his final score being 8867!!
Even though the rest of the meet is about 6 weeks away, it's a USATF Meet Record!
It makes him 3rd A-T US, and 7th A-T World!
Garland's 8720 (4060 2nd day) gives him the Age 21 Record!
He also SMASHED the Collegiate Record--BOTH of them!!
Lindon Victor scored 8539 awhile back, but it's considered wind-aided!
The "real" CR was said to be 8528, achieved by Ayden Owens earlier this season!
So Garrett broke both CR's!!
(This blog considered Victor's mark to have been the official CR!!)
Garland also gets the Soph Class Record!
He ranks 8th A-T US and 19th A-T World!
Ziemek's 8573 makes him 12th A-T US!
Steven Bastien scored 8135 in 4th!
His 2nd day was just 3790 points!
It was no contest for Anna Hall!
She got another PR, her 6458 points a runaway winner over Ashtin Mahler's 6184 and Michelle Atherley's 6154!
Erica Bougard was a DNF, and didn't do well in the events she competed in!
Kendell Williams also DNF'ed, but she has a Wild Card admission to the WC's, so she just needed to do one event to ensure the Wild Card!

Bougard can still make the team, unless Mahler and Atherley get the standard!
Confusing?
Confusing?
Yeah, for me too!
Whatever, Hall was great, getting things off to a good start with a 100H PR of 13.21.
She was ahead most of the way, and just increased her margin with every event!
(Her 1st 4 events gave her 3781 points, the last 3 scoring 2677!)
Then came the 800!!
She ran her 1st 400 in a stunning 57.85!!
Yes, she faded to 65.37, but her time of 2:03.11 was the fastest ever in a Hept by an American Woman!!
I believe that with 800-specific training, she can break two minutes!!
BTW, the scoring tables in T&FN's Big Gold Book go only to 2:01.12, for which you score 1099 points!
Maybe they need to expand those tables!!
LOL
The Track Meet was a pretty fine---uh, track meet!
Held on a local HS track in San Juan Capistrano, it saw some great distance times run!
Including the Collegiate Record of 13:06.32 by Abdi Nur!!
He broke the old record---and I do mean OLD!--of 13:08.4 by the infamous Henry Rono, run in 1978!!
But he didn't win!
That honor went to the visiting Jakob Ingebrigtsen, who cruised to a 13:02.03!
His last 400 was 54.63!!
Mohamed Mohumed (correct spelling!) ran 13:03.18 in 2nd!

He's from Germany!
Joe Klecker's 13:04.42 makes him 16th A-T US!
Then came Nur's CR in 4th!
It's also the Junior Class Record, and ranks him 18th A-T US!
Rono's time was run in his Soph year!
Nico Young took 5th in 13:11.30!
This makes him 3rd A-T Collegiate!
In a different race, Lex Young (Nico's younger brother!) of Newbury Park HS, got the Junior Class Record with his 13:43.95!
It ranks him 2nd A-T HS, just edging the iconic Gerry Lindgren's 13:44.0 from 1964!!
Way back in the same race came Tyrone Gorze, another HS'er, in 14:00.34!
This makes him 11th A-T HS!
Other Track Meet results---
Festus Lagat had the fastest 1500 time--3:37.75--but it was Colin Sahlman who made the headlines!
Joe Klecker's 13:04.42 makes him 16th A-T US!
Then came Nur's CR in 4th!
It's also the Junior Class Record, and ranks him 18th A-T US!

His 3:39.59 makes him 4th A-T HS!
Allie Wilson shocked all with her 800 time of 1:58.18, her first sub-2!!
It makes her 23rd A-T US!
Nia Akins took 2nd in 1:58.82, also her initial sub-2!
Canada's Lindsey Butterworth was 3rd in 1:59.59, while Cory McGee was close in 1:59.78!
Gabby DeBues Stafford's 4:03.20 defeated Sinclaire Johnson's PR of 4:03.33 in the 1500!
In another race, Laura Galvan won in 4:07.06, getting the National Record of Mexico!
Natosha Rogers took the 5000 in 15:05.22 over the PR by Taryn Rawlings, her time being 15:05.94!
And Weini Kelati also PR'ed, her 10K winner being 31:11.11!
This makes her 13th A-T US!
Sharon Lokedi timed 31:14.41 in 2nd!
The USATF Half Marathon saw Emily Sisson finally get the AR, as she timed 67:11.
Her initial tries sought to beat the old AR by Molly Huddle---who gave birth to Josephine, her first child, a few days ago!!
But then Sara Hall succeeded, running 67:15!
Sisson handily took care of THAT one!!
She led from the gun, winning by around 6 minutes!
Len Korir nipped Futsam Zienasellassie, 62:35 to 62:36, to win the Men's race!
The race was held in Indianapolis!
The Keino Classic in altitude happy Nairobi was, well, classic!!
Ferdinand Omanyala sprinted his 100 in 9.85, beating the 9.92 by Fred Kerley!
This makes Omanyala 20th A-T World, tied with 3 others!
It also takes OFF several names from my World list, all of whom had times of 9.86!
Among them were Noah Lyles (from 2019), Ato Boldon (1999), Frankie Fredericks (1996), and (drum roll, please!) Carl Lewis, from 1981!!
Considering the altitude, the distance times were pretty sweet!
Abel Kipsang's 3:31.01 in the 1500 shocked!
Diribe Welteji's 4:01.50 World Leader was great also!
As was Norah Tanui's World Leading 3000SC time of 9:04.95!
She's now "from" Kazakhstan, and it's their National Record!
South Africa's Prudence Sekgodina took the 800 in 1:58.41!
Girmawit Gebrzihair ran her 5000 in a quick 14:49.97!
And Jacob Krop's 5000 took 13:12.19!
Shelly Ann Fraser-Pryce opened her season (!!) with a stunner--a 100 in 10.67 INTO a breeze of 0.4!!
She deservedly gets the Age 35 Record!
Bassant Hemida ended in 2nd, her 11.02 nabbing her Egypt's NR!!
The Hammer Throws were quality also--
Wojciech Nowicki got a World Leader of 267-2!
And Anita Wlodarczyk seems back to normal, her 256-1 getting her the Age 36 Record!
She now owns EIGHT Age Records in the HT--Age 24, then from 29 to 33, and again at Ages 35 & 36!!
In 2nd came Janae Kassanavoid's 252-0!
This makes her 4th A-T US, and 13th A-T World, tied with 1 other!
In an already long post, I'll report all my other marks in two all-purpose groups!

Not exactly Swiss cheese, eh??!!
(Sorry, but this blogger LOVES Swiss cheese!!)
Sophie Weiserberg won the Heptathlon with her 6273 points!
Big News!!
Sydney McLaughlin might be called Sydney Tevrone now!
She married NFL player Andre Tevrone Jr a few days ago!
But she hasn't said if she'll use a hyphenated name now, or just Tevrone, or will stick to McLaughlin as her Professional moniker!!
Doha opens the Diamond League season this weekend!
And there's a HOT meet in Puerto Rico happening also!
(I was NOT referring to Ponce's weather, though it certainly could be warm there!)
See you soon!
