Girls Footlocker Finals: The Final Mile

If like me you tried to watch the Webcast of the Footlocker finals, you probably got choppy video for the both races, and weren't able to really appreciate the fantastic finish in the girls race.

It's worth watching (without the choppiness).

To set the scene, with a mile to go, Allie McLaughlin -- who has led from the 400m mark -- has about a ten-second lead over the chase pack, which includes three defending champions. McLaughlin looks as if she has been sprinting the entire race, but the pack lurks...



Here's a link to a great blow-by-blow account of the race from DyeStat:
