#TrackandFieldSky where yaat?!? Some WRs at #PreClassic today! Couldn't be there live this year, but here's some Hayward Magic from last year's US Olympic Trials ❤️🤍💙 Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone broke her own WR to qualify for the Paris Olympics (where she broke it again a few months later)!
Two world records at #PreClassic today (in the women’s 5K and 1500). Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone (center) was focus of 400. She won easily in 49.4. Story to come on Times of San Diego.
Amazing job Faith Kipyegon and Beatrice Chibet today at the Prefontaine classic. New world records.

Here is my story on Grant Fisher stepping down to the mile at the #PreClassic -
Grant Fisher comes into the #BowermanMile at #PreClassic with a 3:59 PB, a time he set in high school.
"I think if the PB doesn't go down I'm in big trouble," Fisher told reporters today. "I've got nothing to lose here, and that's a good feeling going into a race."

The last @athletics_kenya athlete to win the 800m at #preclassic was Eunice Sum in 2005.
"Anything can happen in a race," Moraa said yesterday.

"This year we've learned a lot," said Jemma Reekie about her training and racing prior to Saturday's #PreClassic where she will run the Mutola 800m. "I know it's going to be cracking."

Ancient figurines unearthed in El Salvador suggest a rich ritual tradition. Were they puppets in mythological reenactments? This discovery challenges old views of Mesoamerican history. @antiquityj.bsky.social #Archaeology #Mesoamerica #ElSalvador #Preclassic #AncientArt
Also if i you are wondering why this is called the #PreClassic it’s named after Steve Prefontaine )the American track athlete who tragically died too soon) … here is an article on him just when he was coming into his prime vault.si.com/vault/1970/0...
