Still listening, but I believe this is a solid top three. Richardson will need to run a pb or close to make the top three. She can't afford to think she doesnt need her best 200m form to make it.
@@RANDOMZBOSSMAN1 and her 22.07s shutting down 30 meters out. I believe Sha'carri has the most upside 200m potential out of all the Americans running. I see her 21.6-21.5 at full potential 😊
@@kc5466 and the three 100m rounds, she ran 200m personal best last year at USAs and Worlds after those 100m races. She should be able to go much faster than her 200m PR
@@kc5466 if Gabby runs 21.6 and the other girls go 21.8, if Richardson is not in PB shape for the 200 she will not make the cut because 21.8 is a pb for Richardson and she will need to supercede that. But that all depends on Brittany Brown. Long is very likely to run her PB or faster. And we know Gabby will be there.
1.) Thomas 2.) Long 3.) Richardson (assuming she doesn’t scratch) Wild Card: Clark if she feeling confident that day which seems to be rare for her. Otherwise Steiner.
I wish Sydney Mclaughlin was competing in the 200m. She is so good this season. Jacious Sears is among the fastest this year. Unfortunately, she has an injury.
@@jhadebredenkamp97meh…21.9, maybe 21.8 with 2.0 at Eugene, or something. The thing about Sydney, is she’s not very “fast”…she’s very STRONG! If Sydney could increase her frequency she would be one helluva force in all the sprints, but, simply put, she’s all strength and needs a bit faster turnover.
@@stevie586sydney is a GENERATIONAL athlete. She could easily slip into the 21.6 range if she decided she wanted to. She could also go sub 11 in the 100m for sure. Enjoy watching her run, friend, she is a once in a lifetime kind of athlete and we should be grateful we get to see her progress
@@Christian-se5si I completely agree. I don’t think she’s 21.6 ready…again, she needs to increase her frequency to run crazy fast sprint times, BUT, she is hella powerful. Also, you are damn right, she is a generational athlete…that rare talent that comes along we don’t fully understand. I see tons of flaws and sloppiness in Sydney’s form, and she still that darn fast. If she cleans up every single thing, I would be terrified. The records she sets are records that will stand for a very long time!
@@Christian-se5siif she could do that then she would’ve been a 100/200 sprinter. She has endurance but she’s not as fast as short sprinters. She will be an amazing 200/400 runner like Gabby.
People talk about the women's 200m sprinters not doing well this year, but it's only really because we've been spoiled for the past few seasons with loads of amazing times. I remember in the 2015 WC finals when Daphne Schippers beat Elaine Thompson and they ran 21.63 and 21.65, the 3rd and 5th fastest ever at the time, I was amazed to see sub 22's, it hardly ever used to happen. Now it's kind of expected that we'll see a couple of sub 22's in the NCAA's as well as many others throughout the season. Anyway, that aside, this 200m is wide open compared with the 100m, which is the opposite to the men. I'm going to go with Gabby, Sha'Carri and McKenzie. Any of the women mentioned in the video have a decent shot, but Gabby has proven her form, McKenzie the same, plus she has added incentive to do well this year and Sha'Carri has proven she can rise to the occasion and has run fast enough in the 100m to suggest she could run a fast 200m. If any of those three don't make it, Jamessia and Abby be the ones I would expect to do well if they are healthy. Whatever happens it should be a great compettion.
People really been acting like Abby Steiner don't exist or something. She looked good in her 100 run today, she's got her speed back, I think she'll sneak into this 200 group. Nobody knows how she will truly run at the final which makes her dangerous.
@@GreekboyyD She didn't fold in the 100 and you clearly don't know what you're talking about because she's not even a 100 runner. You wanna really bet she folds in the 200 which is her event?
@@improveyourmind6464 Yes, she will fold in the 200 as well. Abby glazers will never give it up I see. I'm sure they'll tell us she isn't fully healthy again as the main excuse.
Steiner is very good most of the time... then has breakouts. If she could actually determine and plan her breakouts she'd be a consistent winner in the 200m. Her fastest times are when she's loose .. and she runs tight alot. I wish her well.
I'm with you on this bro..........lol. I would be lying if I said I have a clear top three. We have around six or seven athletes capable of running sub 22.0. I don't think anyone other than McKenzie has performed at that level yet. Having said that, the others may have been waiting until this week to be in peak condition. I'm super excited to see which of these amazing ladies will run their way on to the team. I wish them all good luck.
My top 3 prediction, before I listened to yours, is 1) Gabby Thomas 2) McKenzie Long 3) Abby Steiner. Sha'Carrie is not really a great 200m runner although I think she will improve on her PB.
Sha’Carri ran a 21.61 in the heats last year shutting down 20m to go (in a 2.6m tailwind) her PB imo isn’t as fast as she could have achieved tbh Edit - she’s a better 200m runner than her PB time says
If Shacarri runs a 10.6 in the 100. She’s making the 200m team because her first 100 in the 200m will be fast and can bring her to a sub 22 second 200m.
Sha'carri has the best 200m curve running technique of any active 200m sprinter, she has the highest ceiling of all American 200m runners, including Gabby IMO
@@ronester1 I wouldn’t go that far. I think Gabby has the highest ceiling and could potentially break the 200m record if she improved on her first 100 of the 200m. But Shacarri can improve on her speed endurance. Her curve and first 100 speed is immaculate but the final 100 is her weakness. And one of the only ways for her to improve on her final 200 is by running 400m races or really working on the 200 in training. But since her primary focus is the 100m her full potential may never be realized. Shacarri’s gonna make the 200m team but Gabby has the most unrealized potential in the 200m. But likewise Shacarri in the 100 has the most unrealized potential because she is the only one right now that could potentially break the record.
@kc5466 I don't agree about Gabby being able to improve much more especially about her breaking any records!! She has never run faster than 11 flat over 100m!! It's amazing she can run 21.6 as it is, she's doesn't have enough speed to run 21.3 or faster for the record lol 😆 😂, I don't even see Sha'carri in a perfect world breaking the 200m record.
Great video as usual. It seems so hard to pick at this point in the season because no one outside of Long is running fast times yet. Thomas will be there, but it’s hard to count out Richardson and Steiner. Brown and Clark seem poised to make a statement. I have no idea but it will be exciting.
Spot on. Also, watch Candace Hill. Her 150 in ATL beat some top people. I think you have to keep eyes on ShaCarri. She can run that 200, which she has shown in her Freshman year when she was literally cheated out if the double as a freshman. Last year, was her first year back to running the 209 and medal. If she is near that 10.7 speed or faster, she is going to put stress on folks to catch her. Her deceleration is not like Christian. I am seeing a stronger Shacarri. Gabby will be tough to beat unless she gets wobble legs after the 400. But I predict Gabby in 400. All year they have been aiming at this double in silence. Now we know why she probably struggle. Also look for Little in 400 and the two freshmen phenoms. I am picking Jamessa because she was not used up as much as Kalen. Univ of Ark kills athletes. After killing Britton Wilson and the direct cause of her injury as well as Shawnti Jackson, no way I would send my child to those two coaches.
@@susiepace2125 I’m loving this! Some real knowledgeable track fans. I begged Britton after her junior year to cut that superwoman stuff out. I’m sure I sounded crazy then. I know Gabby wanted to secure her spot on the relay but to hear that she is going for it makes me smile . I’m really looking forward to the trials.
Your right this is a very close and competitive race to call. This women's 200m is actually one of the events I can't wait to see. My top three I have to make the 200m Olympic team is Gabby, ShaCarri and Abby. I love the work Mackenzie put in this year at the NCAA championships but it will be very difficult to maintain that level she was on going into the trials in my opinion. I haven't seen college athletes do this often going into an Olympic year. If anyone can it would definitely be her, but usually the youngsters have to wait in line before their chance to shine!
Omg thank you! You’re the only comment I have seen saying this. I am surprised Track fans are picking collegians over pros, history doesn’t support that in the short sprints Only Abby have seen done that. I remember in 2019 we all thought Sha’Carri and her NCAA record of 10.75 will dominate the trials but she didn’t even make the finals.
@@uchealisha9510 yes it doesn't happen often at all for college athletes to come straight into the pros and win. Give Mackenzie some time to develop as a pro first right? Thank you.
For me, the top 2 are definitely Gabby Thomas and McKenzie Long, but three is a real tossup. Initially, I was thinking Sha'Carri because she has the speed, but now I'm wondering. I'm inclined to think that it'll be either Abby Steiner or Jameesia Ford. In terms of style, they're polar opposites. Steiner has a slightly herky-jerky style with very fast turnover and is all about traction. When she's healthy and on point, she connects to the track has that weird acceleration in the second half of the race. Jameesia Ford looks like she's floating on air. Ford has the 3rd best time this year among the competitors (4th best in the world) and she hasn't lost to anyone but McKenzie Long this year, which could mean that she doesn't lose to anyone but Long and Gabby now. My top four are 1) Gabby, 2) Mckenzie Long, 3) Jameesia Ford, and 4) Abby Steiner.
Very fast turnover? Child. Just say you like fast adjacent white girls. NCAA nationals and USA nationals were her best meets in her life. Favour ofili beat her at every meet except ncaas and throttled her on 2nd leg in 2022. Jenna had to run a masterful curve to get the lead
You are excellent at your craft Sir.. Your information, stats, and consistency is unmatched. Now to answer, Gabby is winning at nationals hands down and might give Sherika a run for her money come OlY finals if she is not in form. Behind her I have to give it to Abby!!! C’mon now.. third is tight for McKenzie and Anavia Battle because she’s had a good season so far. I don’t have Shacari on the 200 team, they gona catch her in the last 20m and I think there are a few girls who are running a lot more consistently this season
Appreciate you! The only thing is that Anavia hasn't had the best season so far relative to the other women when looking at times and placings in races. But Would be amazing to see her make the team again!
Great video per usual! I was nervous about Gabby before this video because of Gabby’s LA Grand Prix performance as she almost never loses a 200m race unless it’s to Shericka, but you’re right I now think she’ll be okay after watching your video. I think is Sha’carri has a good start she could make the team. Would not be surprised to see Abby or Brittany make the team.
Appreciate you! Yea Gabby did the same thing last year. Lost in LA, came back to USAs and ran 21.60. Lost badly in Monaco, came back and won silver at World Champs. Its just during a big training block. And after her race in NYC, I think she will be good. But Agree that Sha'Carri, Abby and Brittany can make the team for sure!
Shaccari coming off bronze at worlds I don't see her losing to Clark or Brown. The only 1 I could put above her is if Abby Steiner is back to her old self.
Small nit-picky Qn, but why Top 9 (instead of 8) as there doesn't seem to have been an indication that Trials are going to be 9 Lane Finals for the Sprints unless I completely missed it? Similar to the W100m, it's about the #2 & #3 spots this time behind Gabby though it'll be interesting to see how she's affected by having three 400m rounds in her legs for the very first time @Trials from earlier in the wk! I had Brittany Brown if she'd run it making last yr's WC 200m Team ahead of Kayla White as she was in the form of her life, and her going all in on the 200m this yr says something. Half of me wishes both McKenzie Long & JaMeesia Ford after a long NCAA Season were doing something similar & only running the 200m! Anderson's really not feeling Abby this yr with her not even making his 100m Top 9 & only 7th place in the 200m!!! Still think it's at least a yr too early for Tamari Davis in the 200m; have got issues with the very talented Tamara Clark's consistency; and have absolutely no idea what to expect from Sha'Carri in the 200m :) So have got Gabby, McKenzie & Brittany Brown just slightly over Sha'Carri as my Top 3 - a crazy amount of depth in both M&W's Sprints atm!!!
Regarding lanes, you right that there will only be 8 lanes used. I actually wasn't 100% sure because I remember World Athletics changed the rules that they will use 9 lanes at World Champs moving forward in the sprints/hurdles. I think I kept thinking that trickled down. But just checked USATF rules and its still 8. I think I don't have any issue with Abby, but I'm just not sure of her status. She pulled out of the Jamaica Invite and the NYC GP and if I have to split hairs, I'm going with the others ahead of her. BUT I would love to see her make the team if healthy because that would put her in medal contention. Brittany and Tamara is a coin flip honestly. Outside of the China races, Tamara has been doing very well only behind Gabby, and her 100m as looked strong. Also ran her first 400m this year. So its truly splitting hairs because I think Brittany can make the team too.
@@TheFinalLeg Wish USATF adopted those WA rule changes & took the Top 3 from each semi into 9 Lane Finals at these Trials! I think Tamara going from a solid 11.03 (0.7) 4th place in last yr's WC 100m Trials to a 22.45 (-0.4) 7th place in her stronger 200m event is what did it for me :( Rooting for her to address that inconsistency issue!
Everyone who had questions about Gabby after the L.A. Grand Prix didn’t watch her interview after her win in NYC. She said she always runs that meet in the middle of a heavy training block, why explains why she always performs terribly there.
I’m not a huge fan of promoting shiny new collegiate toys on championship years. ShaCarri, Julien, Jasmine, etc., are a bit exceptional, but even the first two only did so well their first year, while Jasmine has an easy ride with no competition in PR…no trial issues! So, I don’t want McKenzie Long anywhere near Paris…there are a million other people who haven’t run a long season and can easily fill her shoes. I do wanna see McKenzie Long next year and the following, because she has something I really like. That is, McKenzie is a bit like your ShaCarri, Jeter, Tori Bowie, etc., in that no matter her start, she is always in the race and coming back atcha; that is a very special talent! Gabby is gonna be ready, obviously. Brittany Brown is hard to predict…I think she could get in there, as she has been looking so darn good the past two years, and she runs with confidence! I also think ShaCarri is gonna be in there…ShaCarri has shown she can clearly go much faster than her PB. Also, remember ShaCarri in the 200M is like Shelly Anne in that event…ShaCarri gets way out to 150M, then everyone needs to catch her. She will have burned out most of the other runners due to their panic trying to catch her. I have those three…with Abby and Jenna just missing the team.
I really hate the college kids are able to compete at nationals. Not only is it not fair, it lessens the professionalism of the sport. College athletes are typically in better shape now than the pros so they will likely take a pros spot in some events but usually crash out by the major championships. The rules need to change that only pros can compete at nationals
@blackmenachievellc3770 it's not fair to the pros. College athletes train on an earlier schedule to peak at the beginning of June, which is the pinnacle of their season. Pros start later to peak at the major championships. In addition, pros' pay is highly determined by the teams they make whereas college athletes have nothing invested in making the team other than pride. You don't see the NBA selecting a college athlete for the Olympic team regardless of how good of a season she/he has Plus, name a college athlete who has medaled at a major championship in recent years since I'm just saying stuff smh
@@mikelarry3835 I agree college kids always are more warmed up than the pros and steal spots from the pros. McKenzie is super warmed up right now like Abby was two years ago which puts her in better shape than the pros right now. She'll take a spot because she's been running all year. They need to have a separate events overseas for the college athletes, maybe call it U23.
@edwardsewell8366 leave those illegal drugs alone 😆 🤣 Sha'carri and Noah will be double sprint Champs at the Olympics and they definitely making the team
5:01 Dude, you're gonna have to calm down with your predictions. You say this about every athlete who wins something. You said this exact thing about Bryce Deadmon, Terrance Laird. Cambrea Sturgis won both events at NCAAs in 2021, where she at? Just give us the facts and leave all this fluff at home.
Still listening, but I believe this is a solid top three. Richardson will need to run a pb or close to make the top three. She can't afford to think she doesnt need her best 200m form to make it.

Ford has the 3rd best time this year among the competitors (4th best in the world) and she hasn't lost to anyone but McKenzie Long this year, which could mean that she doesn't lose to anyone but Long and Gabby now. My top four are 1) Gabby, 2) Mckenzie Long, 3) Jameesia Ford, and 4) Abby Steiner.
Very fast turnover? Child. Just say you like fast adjacent white girls. NCAA nationals and USA nationals were her best meets in her life. Favour ofili beat her at every meet except ncaas and throttled her on 2nd leg in 2022. Jenna had to run a masterful curve to get the lead
You are excellent at your craft Sir.. Your information, stats, and consistency is unmatched. Now to answer, Gabby is winning at nationals hands down and might give Sherika a run for her money come OlY finals if she is not in form. Behind her I have to give it to Abby!!! C’mon now.. third is tight for McKenzie and Anavia Battle because she’s had a good season so far. I don’t have Shacari on the 200 team, they gona catch her in the last 20m and I think there are a few girls who are running a lot more consistently this season
OMG how can I forget Jameeshia FORD.. I got home girl in that tooo xx
How would you give second to Abby and not McKenzie or Jameesia?
But Shacarri most likely gonna make it.
Appreciate you! The only thing is that Anavia hasn't had the best season so far relative to the other women when looking at times and placings in races. But Would be amazing to see her make the team again!
Great video per usual! I was nervous about Gabby before this video because of Gabby’s LA Grand Prix performance as she almost never loses a 200m race unless it’s to Shericka, but you’re right I now think she’ll be okay after watching your video. I think is Sha’carri has a good start she could make the team. Would not be surprised to see Abby or Brittany make the team.
Appreciate you! Yea Gabby did the same thing last year. Lost in LA, came back to USAs and ran 21.60. Lost badly in Monaco, came back and won silver at World Champs. Its just during a big training block. And after her race in NYC, I think she will be good. But Agree that Sha'Carri, Abby and Brittany can make the team for sure!
Shaccari coming off bronze at worlds I don't see her losing to Clark or Brown. The only 1 I could put above her is if Abby Steiner is back to her old self.
Richardson winning 100 and 200 trials and in paris
Amen!!!!
She can't handle the real/estate gobbling long legs of Gabby Thomas in the 200m ... I will send her some peanut M&M's as a consolation.
The womens 200m is stacked.1 Gabby Thomas, 2 Brittany Brown and 3 Abbey Steiner or McKenzie Long
The US womens 200 metre is stacked. 1. Gabby Thomas, 2.Mckenzie Long, 3.Abbey Steiner or Brittany Brown
Never count Sha’Carri out. Enough said.
Small nit-picky Qn, but why Top 9 (instead of 8) as there doesn't seem to have been an indication that Trials are going to be 9 Lane Finals for the Sprints unless I completely missed it? Similar to the W100m, it's about the #2 & #3 spots this time behind Gabby though it'll be interesting to see how she's affected by having three 400m rounds in her legs for the very first time @Trials from earlier in the wk! I had Brittany Brown if she'd run it making last yr's WC 200m Team ahead of Kayla White as she was in the form of her life, and her going all in on the 200m this yr says something. Half of me wishes both McKenzie Long & JaMeesia Ford after a long NCAA Season were doing something similar & only running the 200m! Anderson's really not feeling Abby this yr with her not even making his 100m Top 9 & only 7th place in the 200m!!! Still think it's at least a yr too early for Tamari Davis in the 200m; have got issues with the very talented Tamara Clark's consistency; and have absolutely no idea what to expect from Sha'Carri in the 200m :) So have got Gabby, McKenzie & Brittany Brown just slightly over Sha'Carri as my Top 3 - a crazy amount of depth in both M&W's Sprints atm!!!
Regarding lanes, you right that there will only be 8 lanes used. I actually wasn't 100% sure because I remember World Athletics changed the rules that they will use 9 lanes at World Champs moving forward in the sprints/hurdles. I think I kept thinking that trickled down. But just checked USATF rules and its still 8.
I think I don't have any issue with Abby, but I'm just not sure of her status. She pulled out of the Jamaica Invite and the NYC GP and if I have to split hairs, I'm going with the others ahead of her. BUT I would love to see her make the team if healthy because that would put her in medal contention.
Brittany and Tamara is a coin flip honestly. Outside of the China races, Tamara has been doing very well only behind Gabby, and her 100m as looked strong. Also ran her first 400m this year. So its truly splitting hairs because I think Brittany can make the team too.
@@TheFinalLeg Wish USATF adopted those WA rule changes & took the Top 3 from each semi into 9 Lane Finals at these Trials! I think Tamara going from a solid 11.03 (0.7) 4th place in last yr's WC 100m Trials to a 22.45 (-0.4) 7th place in her stronger 200m event is what did it for me :( Rooting for her to address that inconsistency issue!
Jefferson, TT Terry, Gardner, Abbey no chance in top 3 of the 100m.
Everyone who had questions about Gabby after the L.A. Grand Prix didn’t watch her interview after her win in NYC. She said she always runs that meet in the middle of a heavy training block, why explains why she always performs terribly there.
Just glad im not seeing Jenna prandini's name in the mix. When is she gonna retire or start running 400m?
This is a shitty take. Jenna has proven herself on every relay she made. She is why that would. In 2022. She ate Shelly up on that curve
@@blackmenachievellc3770 Exactly, she ate Shelly up on that curve.
Women’s 100M to represent the US: Sha’Carri, Hobbs Melissa. Alternates are: Tamari & Terry
What about the 200m?
👍🏿, Tamara Clark is a sleeper
I’m not a huge fan of promoting shiny new collegiate toys on championship years. ShaCarri, Julien, Jasmine, etc., are a bit exceptional, but even the first two only did so well their first year, while Jasmine has an easy ride with no competition in PR…no trial issues! So, I don’t want McKenzie Long anywhere near Paris…there are a million other people who haven’t run a long season and can easily fill her shoes. I do wanna see McKenzie Long next year and the following, because she has something I really like. That is, McKenzie is a bit like your ShaCarri, Jeter, Tori Bowie, etc., in that no matter her start, she is always in the race and coming back atcha; that is a very special talent!
Gabby is gonna be ready, obviously. Brittany Brown is hard to predict…I think she could get in there, as she has been looking so darn good the past two years, and she runs with confidence! I also think ShaCarri is gonna be in there…ShaCarri has shown she can clearly go much faster than her PB. Also, remember ShaCarri in the 200M is like Shelly Anne in that event…ShaCarri gets way out to 150M, then everyone needs to catch her. She will have burned out most of the other runners due to their panic trying to catch her. I have those three…with Abby and Jenna just missing the team.
Gabby, shacarri and anyone else who steps up on the day are making this 200 team
Do you still think Sha'carri will not make the 200m team, Anderson 🤔 I still have Sha'carri as the double sprint champion at the Olympics!!! Usa 🇺🇸
I really hate the college kids are able to compete at nationals. Not only is it not fair, it lessens the professionalism of the sport. College athletes are typically in better shape now than the pros so they will likely take a pros spot in some events but usually crash out by the major championships.
The rules need to change that only pros can compete at nationals
Not fair to whom? Y’all just say anything
@blackmenachievellc3770 it's not fair to the pros. College athletes train on an earlier schedule to peak at the beginning of June, which is the pinnacle of their season. Pros start later to peak at the major championships. In addition, pros' pay is highly determined by the teams they make whereas college athletes have nothing invested in making the team other than pride. You don't see the NBA selecting a college athlete for the Olympic team regardless of how good of a season she/he has
Plus, name a college athlete who has medaled at a major championship in recent years since I'm just saying stuff smh
@@mikelarry3835 I agree college kids always are more warmed up than the pros and steal spots from the pros. McKenzie is super warmed up right now like Abby was two years ago which puts her in better shape than the pros right now. She'll take a spot because she's been running all year. They need to have a separate events overseas for the college athletes, maybe call it U23.
Greetings everyone from Birmingham 😎
Wait did u do the Mens 200m?...
mc kenzie, gabby, abby,shacarri
Lynna irby Jackson
The only person guaranteed a 200m spot is Gabby. After her it is an open race for 2nd and 3rd.
Gabby is the number one choice to make the 200m Olympic team baring injury false starting etc but there are no guarantees.
If Sydney decides to run the 200m she’s make the team
He probably is talking about the future he already has shericka Natasha and slowly and the twins
Gabby will win. The End.
Gabby ,Shacarri & Mckenzie
Gabby, Sha'carri, Brown
Scharri will not make the 200m . Gabby, Clark and stainer.
Lyles will not make the 100m.
Kerley, benderik and Coleman.
@edwardsewell8366 leave those illegal drugs alone 😆 🤣 Sha'carri and Noah will be double sprint Champs at the Olympics and they definitely making the team
@@ronester1
You will see, then you will know.
@@edwardsewell8366 so will you
Gabby will run 21.7 at us trials...once taps into top speed...
is gabby runs the 400 that's before the 200, 3 400 on her legs? Brittany brown making the team 100000%
21.6, maybe 21.5
I'm going to go with Gabby McKenzie and Kayla white
Kayla scratched
McKenzie who??
Why nobody talking bout Abby
She won't make top 3
🔥
Gabby
Brown
???
Long looks masculine isn't that an issue now,just saying
@EdumbeLawrence-fm3rq
*Are you Jamaican? Your post sounds like something only a Jamaican would post!*
Women’s 200m prediction to represent the US: Gabby, Abby, Clark. Alternates: Sha’Carri and Brown.
5:01 Dude, you're gonna have to calm down with your predictions. You say this about every athlete who wins something. You said this exact thing about Bryce Deadmon, Terrance Laird. Cambrea Sturgis won both events at NCAAs in 2021, where she at? Just give us the facts and leave all this fluff at home.
Sha'Carri not top 3 🤨
she is and he knows she is, just wants to get more comments I guess lol
Hope long doesn't make the team. Hate her running style
