Abby Steiner Just Did It Again In The 100 Meters!

This is Abby Steiner. She currently ranks last in the women's 100m at this year's Tom Jones Invitational, but despite losing her entire stride in the first 20M, she more than made up for it in the final 80M with a finish. time of 11.05 seconds Steiner took this heat on your race by a comfortable 81 hundredths of a second and despite getting off to a pretty poor start he found a way to pick up the pace and outlast everyone else in this race, there was now athletes who ran much faster. This competition in the first series included Tamari Davis Melissa Jefferson and ttha Diggs and we

just

have to mention Jaus Sears once

after losing a ridiculous 10.7 7 in the Collegiate 100, however what Steiner managed to do here with a start as this means that she is clearly 100% recovered from an injury and, in particular, this time was faster than any other 100 met time she ran during her 2023 season, where her season's best performance only reached a time of 11.19 seconds and this performance Steiner also ran the season's fastest.

The opening of her entire career, so seeing her in such good form so early could be the sign of faster racing to come. However, getting lost in the chaos of this previous weekend, which included multiple record-breaking performances and several leads in the New World, was actually another race Steiner ran at this year's Tom Jones Invitational and for this performance he still showed more world-class capabilities

just

1 hour after running this 11.05 in the 100. Steiner returned to the track in the 4x400 Met relay, which was an event that was packed with some truly incredible star power, including world bronze medalist Alexis Holmes and Shaune Miller weo from the Bahamas, the 2021 Tokyo Olympic champion and also the 2022 world champion from Eugene Oregon, and their fate would have Steiner ready to compete

st Alexis Holmes and Shaunie Miller weebo the In the third leg of the two Early stages of this women's 4x4, we saw some very impressive times from Andret Knight Shamir, little Alyssa Marsh and Mackenzie Dunmore and for the first two laps, the top three teams were all within 1 second of each other at this Steiner venue, the right. in the middle of these two 400m grids and as the race continued Steiner was looking very strong down the stretch, now in the first 200M both Holmes and Steiner went through this half lap split in around 23.7 at 23.8 seconds with Miller webo in third place. gaining some ground and splitting a time close to 23.5 seconds at this point in the race, Diner was still looking strong and smooth and, even though he had just run a 100 meter dash just 1 hour earlier, Steiner It opened on the final bend. and made a decisive move to pass Holmes with just 100 met to go.

Now it's important to put into context what this move really meant because passing Holmes is no easy task at last year's World Championships. Holmes was the athlete who passed the goal for the FIM team in the mixed. The 4x400 meter relay ultimately led to the United States gold at the world championships and again Holmes was the bronze medalist from this year's world indoor finals in the 400 posting a time of 50.2 4 seconds to finish in third place, as well I don't see anyone passing by houses like this. It must mean they are now in world-class fitness over the last 50m.

It was actually Shaune Miller Weebo who passed the baton just ahead of Abby Steiner and Alexis Holmes, meaning her split was the fastest of the day and we really need to highlight this. incredible feat because even though she is one of the best 400 runners of all time, she had a baby almost exactly 1 year ago, so seeing her running that fast just 1 year later is truly an amazing achievement when looking at the divisions of relays in the Tom Jones results page shows Miller's split weeo at 49.6 and Abby Steiner's split at 50.6 n. Now for Shaun's split, this time is definitely accurate as the stick passed this line and exactly this amount of time and I actually went back and measured this split myself. and it was very precise, but as you can see, in the case of Abby Steiner there was some type of miscommunication on this pass when she tried to pass the baton to the inside lane when her teammate was actually in lane two if we follow the witness. so Steiner's split is about 50.69, so this is technically accurate, but if his transition had been smoother like Miller weebos was on the outside, I think he probably would have saved about half a second or so some TS, this means that If the baton exchange had gone smoothly, Steiner would have split a time closer to 50 seconds and could potentially have been under 50 seconds if he had gone all out, which means that at this time Steiner really has incredible fitness and this extends from the 100m to the 100m and the 400m and given that she is still the current NCAA record holder in the 200m with a time of 2.77, I think she might be ready to do something very special in the 200 M Dash.

Now I would love to hear from all of you what you do. Do you think about Steiner's performance in these 100 and also the Met 4x400 relay and what times do you think she will achieve in 2024 when the 100 200 and potentially the 400m come around thanks for watching everyone and as always until next time.
