Donavan Brazier was a no-show in Section 2 of the 800m, which Chantilly, Va. sophomore Brandon McGorty won in 1:49.79. Most of the junior men's competitors were disappointed not to race the NCAA champion, though of course, his absence guarantees someone else a spot in Poland. Carlton Orange of Arkansas ran the fastest time of the prelims in 1:48.18.
Katie Rainsberger did not run in the first round of the 1500m. She is entered in both the 1500m and the 3K and told MileSplit that she would probably pick just one event. Looks like she chose the 3K.
Josephus Lyles sustained a quadricep pull and though he is entered here in both the 100m and 400m, he watched the meet from the stands and will not race again this summer.
