Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 4355068, member: 6927"] Mu, while certainly the favorite in the 800, is not quite in the ultra-dominant form she was in one year ago. She ran it in 1:55 last year; her SB this season is 2 seconds off that pace, and she very nearly lost to Ajee Wilson at US Nationals. In all there are 4 other runners in the 800m final who have run within a second of her SB this year. She will be pushed. The coaches have some intriguing decisions to make for the 4x4 relay. McLaughlin is really the only lock. Everyone else seems to be either off top form (Muhammad and most of the flat-400 specialists) or potentially overworked (Diggs, Steiner). The twitter smoke signals have indicated that both Diggs and Steiner are on the team. My guess is that the 4th is Muhammad, but some online have suggested Britton Wilson. [/QUOTE]
