If this was an exam, I'd report such a question as an insult to my intelligence.

Did y'all see Tina Clayton from 🇯🇲 winning the U 20 100m this morning 11.09 at 17 years old.

No one was even close! Athing Mu just too good! 🥳❤💯👏🙌🙏

I'm glad Grace is getting a chance to run against an Olympic-quality field here. I do not expect her to challenge for the win.

Who's Kate Grace? Unless Mu suffers an injury or slips on the track, she'll easily win.

The title of the video is absurd. If anything, they should've gone the route of "Can Natoya Goule redeem herself at Pre?"; "Are the Brit half-milers flashes in the pan?"; or "does Ajee still have it what it takes?"; or even "can Raevyn Rogers go one place higher at Pre?" Not this Kate Grace shit. But we know what the reasons are.

5:00 video? Could have been 5 seconds... No!!!!

I hope they start training her for the 200 next year

Keely Hodgkinson is the only real threat to Mu at the moment. Show some respect to Keely. Grace will likely be second from last.

Speaking of rabbits in the race or pace setters, has there ever been a time where the pace setter stays in the race and actually finishes first? Even though this wouldn't be legal, has this ever happened

[cccccrrrr]

wow - these comments act like 156 is so much better than 157-mu will win but it will be a race

What's a Pre Classic? First I hearing of it.

Why the hype for at this point, the second slowest athelete in the race with the third slowest season best? Nothing to do with her being American I guess.
Seriously if she was from anywhere else she wouldn't even be mentioned let alone the subject of a ridiculous conjecture.
