We are all distance people here Albert. We only understand 800, 1600 and 3200 times.
Real recognize real.
As I understand it, her mark was just 2" shy of the Olympic Trials qualifying standard.

I heard the same at the meet. She has been much more consistent as far as big throws in the discus and I am sure she will have plenty of opportunities to reach that mark sometime this season.
That's was Frickin awesome!!
I'm going to watch her live next time.

For those distance only people it is equivalent to a 3:57.83 for the MILE (not 1600)
Not bad.
I use the Mercier tables quite a bit and that is a correct conversion for her discus mark. Considering that is about the same time that Drew Hunter has run in the mile, I would think that even the true blue distance fans can appreciate what a fantastic mark that is in the discus.
And she made that throw look so casual! Wow!
