NO DAYS OFF
Allyson Felix announced her comeback. Project Six. LA 2028. She is 40 years old, has 11 Olympic medals, and has nothing left to prove. She said she is doing it anyway. The same week, the World Athletics Relays landed in Gaborone, Botswana - the first time on African soil - and Jamaica broke the mixed 4x100m world record twice in 48 hours. Lythe Pillay split 42.66 on the anchor leg of the men's 4x400m, breaking Michael Johnson's relay split record that had stood since 1993. The professional world had its moments.
High school track and field kept pace. Blair Bartlett broke a state record that had existed for four days. Camryn Dailey, a 14-year-old, broke another world age record. Natalie Dumas raced in three different states in four days and came away with a US#1 time. Nobody is coasting.
