Rome and Stockholm hosted back-to-back Diamond League meets on Thursday and Sunday. Noah Lyles ran 9.88 at the Stadio Olimpico on Thursday night - a season best, five men under 10 seconds in the same race. Julien Alfred won the women's 200m in 21.93 in her first head-to-head with Melissa Jefferson-Wooden over the distance. Rumesh Pathirage launched 92.62m in the javelin - eighth all-time in the world, shattering a Rome meet record that had stood for two decades. Then on Sunday in Stockholm, Cooper Lutkenhaus ran 1:42.70 to win the men's 800m at the BAUHAUS-Galan. He is 17 years old and the youngest Diamond League winner in history.

Brooks PR Invitational ran in Seattle on Saturday and the results that came out of Lakeside Middle School's track were not subtle and deserve attention too. Let's dive in.
