USATF Day 2

I'll keep short and sweet today. Yesterday was a solid day for the Alumni competing at the USATF Outdoor Championships. In the men's 800 meters Cas Loxsom advanced out of the first round coming second in his heat with a 1:47.92. The semi-finals are tonight at 11:26 EST and can viewed on USATF.tv.

 
Bridget Franek won her heat of the steeple prelims in 9:39.56 to auto qualify for the final on Saturday.
 
 
Kara Foster competed in the 10,000 meter final and took 10th in 33:11.18.



 And probably the biggest headline of day 2 was Alysia Montano, who is 8 months pregnant, running the 800. She came last in her heat in 2:22.13, which is about 35 seconds slower than her PR but still faster than what the average non-pregnant person can run for a half mile.
