Top 7 Races At New Balance Nationals Outdoor


Girls 800m 

When: Sunday

Who: Alice Hill (MI), Kayla Johnson (Fl.), Corinne Kennedy (NH), Athing Mu (NJ), Joy Ripslinger (IA), Alahna Sabbakhan (DC), Bryanna Rivers (Fl.) 

Skinny: While Johnson enters with the race's top time of 2:07.19, expect this to be a championship style race with key moves being made throughout the race. Mu didn't run during her high school season in New Jersey, but she's an AAU Junior Olympic champion and is capable of going faster than her 2:10 best. Kennedy is one of the most versatile mid-distance runners in the Northeast and has gone 2:09, while Ripslinger, who's fresh, won four state titles in Iowa and has a 2:07.51 on record. Don't sleep on Hill (2:09.09), or Rivers (2:10.51), either.
