Girls Mile Championship Section 4 - New Balance Nationals Outdoor 2023

[@John-wx3zn]

Wow! Great athletic performances.

[@chicoman-yq3rp]

Sadie is just finished her sophomore year. I've been watching her run since a freshman. She has the height, technic, stride and great form. Gorriaran is an 800 meter specialist and she tried sprint a little early, but Sadie is just above everyone else.

Once Claire Stegal develops, she is trouble for Engelhart.

[@chicoman-yq3rp]

@@timmarshall703 Maybe. I think Claire needs a little more height. I think to complete with Sadie she needs to physically grow more. I think Englehardt best time in the mile is 4:34. So Sadie was still 4 seconds slower than her fastest time. I'm going to go on a limb here and say that Englehardt may be qualify for the Olympic trials next year. We shall see.

Those introductions coming out of the tunnel: AWKWARD! 😅 That rocked.

[@warrenkeppler9217]

They were brutal.

[@IRex-wm9pd]

what a line up this was... from top to bottom... but as usual Queen Sadie beats them all. interesting that the top two runners are both sophomores. Stegal doesnt get enough credit for how good she is. maybe her and Hedegren can press Sadie to the record over the next two years.

Why are they running out in lane 4?

[@golden.lights.twinkle2329]

Probably because the track is measured in meters and they are running a mile.

[@yourfriendcoca]

@@golden.lights.twinkle2329 actually it’s because world records don’t count if you don’t have the railing - plus, it’s so they can have straight aways that have 9 lanes for sprints ! It has nothing to do the 1 mile ?

[@yourfriendcoca]

It seems like lane 4 but it’s still technically “lane 1” and equals 400m regardless ☺️

[@roustabout4fun]

Strong soph~

[@crosslink1493]

Just curious about this - does anyone know what's the reason for the three lanes inside the 'curb' they were running next to? Maybe Lane #1 is a 375-ish meter lap? It looks like its a really odd distance, not sure what it would be used for.

How nice to see girls who are in shape and tattoo-free.

She put on a clinic… jesus

[@Night-le9ys]

Literally like the commentators dont know sadie has run 4:33 for 1600...😅

[@Night-le9ys]

@@cryo9216 are you debating that the conversion from her previous 1600m to this mile would be slower or 🤔?

[@timmarshall703]

THE star of this race is Claire Stegal. More in the tank at the end than Sadie. And way less developed as well.

[@dasarchitect5114]

Nope. She came in second. Sadie Engelhardt is more talented and gift.

[@timmarshall703]

@@dasarchitect5114 lol. Winning by less than a second is not more gifted. Smh

[@bradensmith8170]

Bad take on this one haha Sadie was a rockstar, so impressive mentally for the entire race! What Claire did was never ever challenge herself to take the risk to go for it. Claire Sat in the pack and then kicked to end her work out. I see talent for sure but where is the fight?

[@timmarshall703]

@@bradensmith8170 the video says otherwise. Smh

[@dalebecause2467]

Well, Sadie took the lead soon after the race started and kept it the whole race. She was tiring at the end and had there been another 20-25 meters and Stegal wins that race, heck, another 10 meters and Stegal wins.....Gorian should have learned quite a bit from this race...as should have Sadie. Work it out in training....
