[@elitemidrange]

She’s the real deal, her start is already phenomenal, on the first leg in the 4x100 she looked to have almost as good a start as Alfred. Her poise has impressed me, she looked good indoors as well. Georgia has another freshman that’s pretty good at the 200m so they should be in good shape for the upcoming years.

[@vernonfrance2974]

@@BakangSerameWhat is the meaning of that comment? We host other nation's athletes at full expenses paid during college while failing to support local talents' development . Is that foolishness what you are referring to?

[@_CMm]

@Vernon ​France aren't, these student atheles paying back by running for the schools? That's the agreement though. I understand local talents should be given attention as well, if not more. However, coaches at these schools are more worried about their reputation and want the best atheles they can find. It's not the atheles' (international) fault. There is a problem with the system. Maybe there should be a quota imposed on the schools to limit the percentage of international student athletes a school can recruit, thus selecting more local talents. Just my opinion.

[@jordanjordannis2258]

All season long I've been hoping Alfred could take down that Collegiate record and take it down she did. I would give her the Bowerman honestly. Britton has been superb but in my opinion Alfred has been even more so. If she can maintain this kinda shape into August she might hit on a 10.6 to medal in Budapest, which isn't too unlikely since she pretty much has almost 2 months off from here on out.

[@jamezkpal2361]

Actually I think they said the wind was 2.3 m/s so just missed out on the record 😢

It wasn't wind legal and that's her last chance this season. I can't see her returning, it wouldn't make any sense.

Wow! that is insane top end speed. Someone mentioned that she leaned early, that is true.

[@stevie586]

I’m trying to figure out what is missing from her 100M race that she’s not yet on the level of ShaCarri or the Jamaicans. She has the second fastest 60M in history and she’s great over the distance. I think her extra gear kicks in more at the 80M line, instead of somewhere around 65M. If she changes a little bit of her execution, she’s got 10.6 in the bag.

[@NextGenJay]

Nothing, her race model is great it’s not like everyone is running 10.6 at the top. She’s up there with all the best women in the world. Alas her 10.7 runs are wind assisted so it would be nice for her to replicate it in legal conditions.

[@stevie586]

@@NextGenJay there is always room for improvement in any athlete. I’m not saying she is flawed…I’m saying she can be better in the 100M than a 10.8. Her first 60 is tied for second fastest person alive, her 200M is up there with the best alive, so, I feel she has more than 10.8 in her, which means the 100M needs to be executed differently to reach her full potential.

How can you be deluded into thinking these women are representatives of the state of Texas? No Native Americans, no Latinas, and very few even from Texas. Instead of helping develop the local talent they get it a lot of it from other countries. Of course, more and more that is what colleges do. In the men's division they have the excuse that many of the best US talent will go to basketball and football to make more money. That excuse does not exist in the women's division.

Looking at this all over again, the convention is 10.85 with the time. Juliens first few steps were very ugly…she had three steps running side to side instead of forward, which really slowed down her time and changed her race a bit, which is why she had so much company early on. I think Julien is gonna be a solid 10.8 runner as a pro…I don’t have her as a 10.7 and definitely not 10.6 runner. She’s gonna do amazingly.
