I was the race she has been waiting to run all season. The U.S. half miler was chasing the “A” standard (2:00.00) which would allow her to compete at this year’s World Track and Field Championships in Berlin. She ran 2:00.04 in Belgium and then went to Paris two days later to come up short in 2:03.06. This past Tuesday, she gave it one last shot. At the Herculis International meet she ran past the field with 50 meters to go to win in a world leading 1:57.84, the seventh fastest time for a U.S. female not to mention, a personal best. Congrats Maggie!!
