Mu will be interesting!

If Mu is as motivated as she was in that indoor 600, and the pace is not too fast at the start, she could break 2:00.00, even if barely (for which, even if barely, could break Cain's HSR). She ran 2:01.38 at the beginning of June.

not a PR for Mu, but only 6 other preps have ever run faster

OK . . . Now I find out that C Brown has had a stress reaction (precedes fracture) in the last month. Shame!
