State finals-like weather for the Alma Invite, where Ithaca's Lani Bloom, defending state champ in the 800 & 1600, won both; Alma's Trinity Greer, state runner-up in the 100 and 200, won both Friday. Greer was also on Alma's winning 400 and 800 relays; Bloom Ithaca's 3200 team.

Sure, there were only 9 actual meets this week, but I still managed to put together the weekly Three Stars:

@MIXCSpeedRtngs I’m not ok

Lia Thomas is herself no matter she is at, and she is allowed to be herself in the swimming pool and wherever else as well. She is an incredible athlete and ncaa champion. She is not a “man”, and she will not be labeled a “man” when you find it convenient for yourself.

Ithaca senior Lani Bloom competed on the national stage at the NSAF Nike Indoor National meet on Staten Island this weekend. The Purdue commit won the National Championship in the mile, finishing with a flourish in the final 200 - bit.ly/3IcXFe1
