3:32.16 personal best in the 1500 for Cooper Teare at UVA tonight.

Strong start to his outdoor season.

As if Quincy Wilson’s 44.37 relay split in the 4x400 at Penn yesterday was not impressive enough, check out this angle from the back straight.

Wilson ran most of the leg in lane 2. That’s a sub-44 leg if he gets a clean run.

After running 3:33.96 for 1500 earlier this month, NAU's Colin Sahlman ran a big 800 pb of 1:45.63 in Tucson last night and took down NCAA indoor champ Rivaldo Marshall in the process.

That's some serious speed for a 20-year-old miler!

Epic stuff. No one brings it at Penn like Villanova.

This kid is a Marvel superhero. He’s a 16-year-old sophomore in high school.

After a fall in the prelims, Bullis had ANOTHER fall in the 4x400 Championship of America final at Penn during a crowded second exchange.

That cost them any shot at the win, which went to Kingston College.

Bullis soph Quincy Wilson split 44.69 (after his 44.37 in the prelims).

In a battle of reigning Olympic champions, Andre De Grasse edges Marcell Jacobs at the East Coast Relays in Jacksonville. Both men credited with 10.11. Trayvon Bromell 3rd.

Season opener for Jacobs and Bromell.

Seven takeaways from this morning's Diamond League in Suzhou, including:

-Daryll Neita beats Sha'Carri

This was a fun race to watch between 800m star Emmanuel Wanyonyi and road mile world champ Hobbs Kessler.

Kessler put himself in position to kick but Wanyonyi just on another level in the last 150m.

No US team has won the high school boys’ 4x400 at Penn since 2007.

Bullis might just have a chance with sophomore phenom Quincy Wilson on anchor.

Final is at 5:30 pm ET. Can he silence the Jamaican fans?

Dang it. Tweaked my ankle on a water jump with 1k to go. Had to DNF. I’ll be okay, just a disappointing return to racing after ending last season with my hamstring injury. Very very happy for my teammate Gabbi Jennings for her new PR 9:19 and 5th place!

Last week's Xiamen Diamond League was great, but today's in Suzhou was underwhelming. Mostly same events and not as exciting.

Part of Wanda's deal to sponsor deal means that China gets 2 meets, and it makes logistical sense to have them back to back. But Suzhou felt redundant.

Brit Daryll Neita wins the Suzhou Diamond League 200m in 22.62, unchallenged.

Sha'Carri Richardson was gapped early and took 3rd in 23.11, slower than her 22.99 last week in Xiamen.

Beatrice Chepkoech wins the women's steeple in Suzhou in 9:07.36.

Big pb for American Gabi Jennings in 5th (9:19.39), but not a good day for her training partner Emma Coburn, who is a DNF in her first race since August.

Slightly better start and a faster time than last week for Christian Coleman (10.04) but he doesn't get the win this time. South Africa's Akani Simbine closed well to win in 10.01 (-0.1). Fred Kerley 3rd in 10.11.
