Georganne Moline breakthrough [split]

Blues wrote:I want to take the opportunity to give the Wildcats' Georganne Moline huge props for what she's accomplished during her junior year, including the multiple personal bests she's achieved this season not only in the 400h (NCAA leading 55.12), but in the 400/4x4 as well.

I have been watching her all year! I was going to give her her own thread but was waiting until she ran under 55. She has company in UT's Ellen Wortham, but Moline has definitely made a massive improvement. In fact, her previous PB would have been top-5 for the last 10 years among Americans for almost every year except one or both of the Olympic years. She has a longshot of making that team; 400h seem to "get hot" sometimes and run way over their heads like Brenda Taylor of Harvard.

Moline may have been the most impressive thing I saw in Eugene. I'm willing to go out on a limb and predict the London final for her at this point.
