Ajee' Wilson Puts College On Hold

[Blues]

looking at millrose startlists

the womens 800 will be tough for ajee

Melissa Bishop, Nike (Canada)
Alysia Montano, Nike
Erica Moore, Nike
LaTavia Thomas, Nike
Ajee' Wilson, adidas
Phoebe Wright, Nike

The Millrose race is a 600... Ajee's recent 600m AJR is faster than the other runners in the race have ever run, but her 400 PR of 54.04 from last May is slower than the 400 PRs of the other athletes in the race except for Melissa Bishop.... Montano and Moore have 400 PRs around 1.5 to 2 seconds faster than Ajee Wilson's, although their 400m PRs are from over 2 years ago... This will be an interesting race.

you are totally correct, i just assumed it was a 800

ajee base speed is very good

should have realized from the mens entants borlee will not do a 800, 600 he would

nick symmonds at 600 seems short thoug h

54 from last year might be a tad slow, based on her current 600 time, sub 54 would be my current projection

[az2004]

It definitely is a 600. Don't think Ajee can handle Phoebe or Montano in an 800 right now, but in the 600 whoever breaks first has a huge advantage.

What "3-4 events" can you possibly imagine her running at Florida State? Based on times so far, she's not fast enough to run the 4x4, and she's never tried a 1500. So that leaves her soloing in the 800.

gh ajee ran a 4:52 mile at penn relays..

she was 3-4 most of the race

i think you vastly undersestimate her 400 abilty

there are a good number of 4:52 entering college who grew into the event

i do agree 800 is her event, the last 200 of her 800 are better than decent

adidas pays 4 years f college at temple in kinesiology

[az2004]

has anyone done the conversion what a 1:27.30 converts to a real 400meter race

i suspect her 54.05 pr for 400 would have gone down

in talking to a friend who is a big time lawyer at schnader harrison a major law firm in philly, he said he was interviewing nicole leace formerly of ucla, who is a law student at temple class of 2015
