State of the Action

We're expecting one the greatest duels of the meet here. Angelina Napoleon is fresh off a National Record in the event at the State Qualifier, taking a huge jump since her last attempt at the distance. That prior race came against Karrie Baloga, who was less than two-seconds back, and is poised for a breakout race for herself. Does Baloga respond, or can Napoleon hold her off? The key here may be prior races. Napoleon has the speed from the 800m the day prior zapping her legs, but Baloga will have an equally hard-fought battle in the 3000m the day before. How both manage those 12hrs rest time will make all the difference.
