5:00 p.m. | Men's 200m Semifinal

Top 2 each heat + next 6 fastest to 2 semis; Top 4 each semi to final

Heat one featured the best matchup of the semifinals: 20-year-old JUCO-turned-Nike star Kenny Bednarek vs. Christian Coleman, the U.S. 100m champion. Of course, the goal is top two, but to do that against this caliber of competition would require a fast time. At the gun, Coleman got out spectacularly as usual, and Bednarek powered around the bend to catch up to him at the line for the heat win, 20.07 to Coleman's 20.14. Both ran with ease in the final 10 meters to coast in for the automatic-qualifying spots.

With silver-frosted hair, Noah Lyles represented Goku's final form well as he ran a terrific curve and shut it down 30 meters early to claim heat two in 20.11. Lyles was almost half a second clear of the next-closest finisher, Remontay McClain (20.49).

Christopher Belcher, who qualified for the U.S. world team with his third-place finish in the 100m, didn't qualify out of the semifinals after running a 20.59 for fifth in heat two.

5:14 p.m. | Women's 200m Semifinal

Top 2 each heat + next 6 fastest to 2 semis; Top 4 each semi to final

Brittany Brown, the former Iowa Hawkeye, continues to impress through the rounds. On fresh legs compared to the likes of Teahna Daniels, the U.S. 100m champion, and Lynna Irby, who contested two rounds of the 400m, she ripped a season's best 22.60 into a -1.8 headwind. Phyllis Francis, who owns the bye into Doha as the 2017 world champion and may not contest the final as a result, finished second in 22.78. Daniels, who eased up at the line, was third in 22.83. Irby, who struggled mightily to the line in apparent fatigue, managed a season's best 22.90. Morolake Akinosun's lane remained empty as she scratched the event.

Dezerea Bryant cleared the field within the first 25 meters and grew her lead down the homestretch to about five meters as she finished first in 22.49, a season's best. Two-time NCAA champion Angie Annelus was runner-up in 22.78, followed by Gabby Thomas (22.90) and Kyra Jefferson (22.93). English Gardner, who finished runner-up in the 100m final two days ago, eked out a 23.45 from lane one—a far cry from her 22.62 PR. 

Deajah Stevens, who finished one spot outside of qualifying on time in 23.00, was disqualified—perhaps for a lane violation, though I'm waiting on confirmation.

5:28 p.m. | Men's 110m Hurdles Semifinal

Unofficial. Top 4 each heat + next 4 fastest to 2 semis; Top 4 each semi to final

Daniel Roberts, the top seed in heat one with a PR that stands tied as the second-fastest NCAA mark ever (13.00), rolled to a 13.30 win over a very smooth Freddie Crittenden, who ran a season's best of 13.31. Florida State's Trey Cunningham, who struggled with some injuries this year, followed in 13.49. Devon Allen squeaked into the final after a sluggish semifinal that he finished in 13.55. 

The man who broke Nehemiah Renaldo's 40-year-old collegiate 110m hurdles record, Grant Holloway, was beaten to the line by not one, but two other competitors after his form, particularly pertaining to the lack of urgency for his trail leg returning to the ground, started to lapse on hurdle seven. Holloway ran 13.56 for third behind the unattached Michael Dickson (13.47) and Aaron Mallett (13.46).

6:02 p.m. | Men's 800m Final

Isaiah Harris took control at the 200-meter mark and slowed down the pace a bit, taking the field through the first lap in 54.91. At 300 meters, Harun Abda made a move, and Donovan Brazier responded in a big way, quickly laying an eight-meter gap between himself and the rest of the field. Bryce Hoppel, who ran on the outside of Clayton Murphy around that final turn and incidentally boxed him in (to the chagrin of Murphy, who apparently had some words with him as he was trying to pass and make up ground toward the front) passed Abda on the final turn with Isaiah Harris in tow. Murphy went wide around Hoppel with a little less than 100 meters to go, and clearly had a lot left in the tank as he sped toward Brazier, but it was too late—he finished second in 1:46.01 as Brazier claimed his second U.S. title in 1:45.62. It looked like Harris was en route to passing Hoppel with 75 meters left, but he began to break down while Hoppel remained steady. Hoppel beat him to the line for third and a spot on the world team, 1:46.31 to Harris's 1:46.45.

Brazier's splits? 55.00 and 50.63. [insert mind-blown emoji here]

6:09 p.m. | Women's 3000m Steeplechase Final

The race kicked off at a modest clip as the women were content to race for position, clipping off 77- to 78-second 400s until the sixth lap—that's when American record-holder Courtney Frerichs dialed up the tempo to take the lead with Colleen Quigley, Emma Coburn, and Allie Ostrander keying off the move. 

With 600 meters to go, Coburn surged to the front and Frerichs went with her, stringing Quigley far out of striking distance and Ostrander even further by a 25-meter margin. At the bell, Coburn floored it, but couldn't shake Frerichs. 

At the final water jump, Coburn gapped Frerichs even further, extending her lead on the Bowerman Track Club athlete to five meters. Coburn lost a bit of ground on the final barrier as she slowed into it, but had plenty of energy reserved for the final stretch in and secured her eighth consecutive U.S. title in a time of 9:25.63 to Frerichs' 9:26.61. 

Quigley finished next in 9:30.97, followed by former Boise State stud and new Brooks Beast Ostrander, who locked in her first world team qualification with her fourth-place 9:38.52. Since Coburn, the defending world champion, has the bye, the U.S. will send the top four from this race to Doha.

6:23 p.m. | Men's 5000m Final

From the very first lap, Paul Chelimo immediately enacted his plan to try to drop the rest of the field by deploying a 57-second first 400m! Woody Kincaid and Lopez Lomong were the only two crazy enough to go with him, and he continued to pull them through the next lap in 1:53, and then 1K in 2:30!

At that point, the lead pack had distanced themselves from the chase group by a healthy 30 meters. For Kincaid and Lomong, this is excellent if they can keep up, as they currently lack the IAAF world standard. They went through the second kilometer in 2:45!

With six laps to go, Chelimo stepped aside to let Kincaid take the lead, and Lomong was still right there with them. Shortly after, they slowed the pace a bit, and allowed the chase pack to nearly catch up to them! Sensing an opportunity, Hassan Mead moved up to meet the front trio. 

Five laps to go, and the front pack grew to 10 runners as Kincaid continued to lead. At that point, Drew Hunter moved up to run side by side with Lomong, U.S. steeplechase champion Hillary Bor, Mead, Kirubel Erassa, Ben True, Riley Masters, and Dillon Maggard.

At 3000m, they rolled through in 8:08. Maggard dropped off shortly after by five meters. 

With 800m to go, Kincaid still led after putting down a 65-second lap. At the 600-meter mark Chelimo resumed the lead, and Mead and Lomong fanned out wide next to him. 

At the bell, Lomong and Chelimo made a move, and Chelimo refused to let Lomong pass despite his efforts. With 200 meters left, Kincaid fell back to fifth, and Chelimo and Lomong BOOKED IT with 100 meters to go, and they were NECK AND NECK down the homestretch, flying in stride until Chelimo faltered with less than five meters to go as Lomong's power won out. 

Lomong, the U.S. 10,000m champion, won yet ANOTHER title and facility record here at Drake Stadium in 13:25.53. Chelimo finished in 13:25.80, and Kincaid's resolve to stick with the 2016 Olympic silver medalist didn't get him the world standard—he would've had to run 13:22—but it did get him a PR: 13:26.84. 

The United States' team going to Doha will be Chelimo, Mead, and Hunter, as they were the top finishers with the world standard.

6:42 p.m. | Women's 5000m Final

The rain finally hit after the first lap, covering the blue oval in fat drops of water as the women crossed the first 400 meters in 79.59.

Karissa Schweizer, who finished third in this event at last year's outdoor championships after a phenomenal final NCAA season, led with Marielle Hall on her shoulder.

Through 1K, they ran 3:14, and continued on 16-minute pace.

Down the homestretch with eight laps to go, Hall took over in an effort to ratchet up the pace with 73-second laps. 

With seven laps to go, it was Hall, Schweizer, Allie Buchalski, U.S. 10,000m third-placer Kellyn Taylor, and Rachel Schneider, who recently ran a PR 4:20 mile in Monaco. 

With six laps to go, Shelby Houlihan followed Elise Cranny toward the front, and tucked in next to Schneider and Buchalski.

10 minutes into the race, Stephanie Bruce, who took fourth in the U.S. 10,000m behind her teammate Taylor, went to the front, tailed by Houlihan, Schweizer, Cranny, Schneider, Hall and Elinor Purrier.

With three laps to go at 12:28, the front was a mass of Bowerman Track Club kits as Houlihan began to assert her authority at the front, followed by Schweizer, Schneider, Hall, and Purrier. 

At the penultimate lap, the lead pack began to make a push: Schweizer, Houlihan, Schneider, Hall, Purrier. Heading into the bell lap, Schneider moved on to Schweizer's shoulder, and Houlihan ran in lane two behind her. Down the backstretch, Schneider moved to the front, and Houlihan stayed there until the homestretch.

Looking quite comfortable, Houlihan turned on the jets and didn't look back, claiming another U.S. 1500m-5000m title double for the second year in a row in 15:15.50. Schweizer finished second in 15:17.03, and Purrier got past Schneider (15:17.91) for third in 15:17.46. Schweizer, Purrier and Schneider have the world standard, and will go to Doha, as Houlihan confirmed she doesn’t plan on contesting this event at the world championships.

Hall wound up fifth in 15:20.69, and Shannon Rowbury was sixth in 15:25.40.

7:04 p.m. | Women's 400m Hurdles Final

From the gun, Dalilah Muhammad bolted out of the blocks like she had something to prove.

In the past several years since she won the 400m hurdles at the 2016 Olympic Games, the U.S. landscape in the event had changed. The 16-year-old upstart who joined Muhammad on the Olympic team in Rio de Janeiro, Sydney McLaughlin, developed into a world-leading talent as a collegian at Kentucky, then went pro. Shamier Little, who rocked the NCAA in 2016 but just missed the final at the U.S. Trials, became a U.S. champion. At the world championships in London, Kori Carter beat Muhammad to win the world title.

Meanwhile, Muhammad hadn't cracked 53 seconds since 2017. 

But, as the rain poured down at Drake Stadium during the women's 400m hurdles final at the 2019 USATF Outdoor Championships, the crowd quickly realized Muhammad was trying to do something more than remind them of her resume: prove that she's the best 400m hurdler in world history.

Muhammad threw down a furious first half and didn't relent as she built more than a five-meter gap on the rest of the field. 

When she crossed the line, the clock displayed 52.20. She destroyed the 52.34 world record set 16 years ago by Yuliya Pechonkina.

McLaughlin finished runner-up in 52.88; Ashley Spencer followed in third in 53.11 (which tied her PR), and then Little in 53.91. Carter, who has a bye into Doha, will join them there in October.

Leading the entire way, Ajee Wilson three-peated for her fourth U.S. title in a facility-record 1:57.72. Nike Oregon TC's Hanna Green rode her momentum this season to her very first world team and a PR, 1:58.19. Raevyn Rogers also made it onto the team in third with a 1:58.94. After the top three, the results dropped off considerably as Olivia Baker took fourth in 2:00.94, and Athing Mu, who looked terrific until she hit the homestretch and flat-out ran out of gas, finished fifth in a personal-best 2:01.17.

It was a 2019 NCAA Division I 110m hurdles final reboot, but this time, with a different victor—it was Daniel Roberts' turn to win a major title, and he did it in rainy conditions with a 13.23. Holloway got off to a great start, but couldn't match the ferocity of Roberts' final four hurdles, and dove at the line in recognition of that. The former Gator great was runner-up in 13.30, and Devon Allen, who looked rusty in the rounds, ended up finding his way onto the team in 13.38 after a poor start.

7:33 p.m. | Men's 1500m Final

Before I get started here, I just have to mention that I picked Craig Engels for the win, and Matt Centrowitz as the runner-up. The third spot is tough, but I'm thinking Sam Prakel—he had a great indoor season that included a 3:50 mile, and I have a feeling he'll put together a smart race here today.

The athletes took to the line, then had to back off again per the official. When the gun went off, Izaic Yorks streaked to the front, followed by Engels on his shoulder and Prakel on Engels', with reigning Olympic champion Centrowitz snugly fitting in behind them alongside Pat Casey. They went through the first lap in 64.1, and 800m in 2:09—ridiculously slow, so it didn't string out the field at all. 

At the bell, Centrowitz and Engels went for it, followed by Yorks and Henry Wynne right behind them. Ben Blankenship was buried in the middle of the pack with 200 meters to go.

At the homestretch, Engels flew away, and Centrowitz almost caught him at the line, but ran out of real estate! Engels took the U.S. title from Centrowitz, 3:44.93 to 3:44.97. 

Most unexpectedly, Josh Thompson finished third in 3:45.25 as he flew wide around the traffic off the final turn. But, since he didn't have the world standard, he won't make the team—instead, 30-year-old Blankenship, who finished fourth, will finally make a world championship team as he hit the standard before this meet.

I called this one, too! Milwaukee native Dezerea Bryant, powered by her explosive start, won the U.S. 200m title in 22.47 into a -1.2 headwind. Brittany Brown, who impressed through the rounds, finished runner-up in 22.61, and two-time NCAA champion Angie Annelus of USC took third in 22.71. Teahna Daniels, who won the U.S. 100m title this weekend, was just outside of making the team in fourth (22.73). Gabby Thomas was unable to finish the race.

Noah Lyles was having fun out there.

The 19.50 man showcased his electric personality with pre- and post-race dances, but the real show was his 200m victory. The second half of his race is truly remarkable to behold, and today, that closing speed yielded a 19.78 facility record. Christian Coleman, the U.S. 100m champion, finished runner-up in 20.02, and Ameer Webb took third in 20.45, but won't make the U.S. world team because he doesn't have the standard. Instead, Rodney Rowe, who took seventh, will go to Doha, as he already secured it. Kenny Bednarek, who pulled up during the race with what looked like a pulled leg muscle, could also still make it to Doha if he's healthy—but only if Lyles ends up winning the Diamond League again this year.

One throw, and it was all over. Valarie Allman put herself far out of reach from the rest of the field on her first toss, a 64.34m (211-1) effort. The next two, who have already achieved the standard, will join her on the world team in Doha: Kelsey Card, 63.33m, and Laulauga Tausaga, 62.08m.

In yet another surprise after failing to win the triple jump, Will Claye couldn't quite get the distance he needed in the long jump to clinch victory. Ja'Mari Ward's best leap, 8.12m (26-7.75), was the best of the day, and Claye's was runner-up (8.06m). But, because Ward lacks the IAAF world standard, he will not make the team. Claye will be joined by bronze medalist Trumaine Jefferson (8.02m) and fifth-placer Jeffery Henderson (8.00m).

Chase Ealey sealed her title with her second throw, a whopping 19.56 (64-2.25), in extremely slippery conditions due to the rain, which had eased a bit by the time competition began in the ring, but had already drenched the surface and the implements. The perennial podium-maker Michelle Carter finished runner-up in 18.69, and former Arizona State stud Maggie Ewen took third with a 18.44m throw.
