Phyllis Francis ran the 400, her sister Claudia the 800.

Also Oregon looses 2 points with Francis not making the final.

Claudia Francis fell behind in the first 100m, and then just ran alone in last place; did she have an injury coming in?

When the race went out she looked strong to the first 100, looked like she might lead or be top 2 at the break. I turn away from my screen for a second, and by 200m into the race, she is already out of contention.

And they can thank the weather gods, probably. 88 degrees and humid is pretty deadly to somebody from the Pacific Northwest. It's now manifesting itself in the steeple.

How much can heat and humidity get to you in a two minute race? Anyway, it didn't seem to bother Mackie too much did it?
