Thanks for the update, Nevada! I just saw the news this morning.
You said it perfectly, advancing on another athlete's DQ is not what you root for. But it's good news for Tinoda and for fans, who now get to watch him run in the final!

Tinoda has his work cut out for him. Any result is great, as making the final is probably beyond what we were thinking for him. Only two collegians; the other the NCAA champ.

I was hoping that Tinoda would set another PR, but running 1:45.7 in the finals of of the Olympic Trials is pretty great. Unfourtunately, he was last; I don't know if he faded but everybody ran away from him in the last 150m.

Tinoda mixed it up in the chase pack on the backstretch of the last lap. Easy to forget this was his freshman year, because he looked like a veteran in that final!
Congrats on a great first year, Tinoda!

9 Tinoda Matsatsa Georgetown [19] 1:45.70 51.53 - Pl: 5 1:45.70 54.18 Pl: 9 -4 3
He was 5th at the 400 and looking good. He ran 54.18 for the 2nd 400, which was the slowest lap. A 54.18 is a fast lap.

It was a tremendous accomplishment for Tinoda and it has been awesome to watch him improve throughout the season. My guess is that as he adds more strength training, the sky will be the limit for him. Lost in all of the accolades for our athletes this past season is how well the coaching staff has done its job. Both the men and the women are losing some key performers; it should be fun next year to watch the coaches blend returning and new athletes. I am already chomping at the bit. And a huge thank you to our departing Seniors and 5th years, Hoya Saxa and good luck on your next journeys.

Kudos to the three Olympians, esp. Brianna.
