She ran a 1:59.80 on February 8 at the Hemory Valentine meet. First time she has gone under 2:00 indoors, and I think it puts her at #11 all-time for U.S. women indoors at 800m. She is off to her best start ever for a track season. The all-time best in 800m is 1:58.60, set this year. Prior to that it was 1:58.64.
Last year, for the entire track season, she could not get under 2:00. Had quite a few races between 2:00 and 2:01, so a disappointing season for her. Getting under 2:00 this early is an important mental barrier. Glad she got there.
