EUGENE — Amid a roar that had been building all afternoon, filling Hayward Field to its brim with a noise that now seemed like it would echo all the way to Paris, one woman had been rendered speechless.
In that regard McLaughlin-Levrone might have been as alone as she was in her record breaking triumph. Nikki Hiltz won the 1,500 in 3 minutes, 55.53 seconds as six runners were ran under the previous Trials record and eight were under 4:00. The crowd was first brought to its feet by a dramatic final 400 in the day’s first race, the 5,000, in which Grant Fisher, who won the 10,000 on the opening night of the Trials, just held off Abdi Nur 13:08.85 to 13:09.01 as the first seven men finished under Galen Rupp’s 12-year-old Trials record .
“Every single time she gets on the track people are expecting her to break a record,” Benjamin said. “Which is insane every single time to get on the track. And I think we kind of got lulled into this, this state of just fast times and everybody expects it every time because it’s like a dopamine spike.”
