RunBlogRun opines: Nice to see Quanera Hayes running well. She had dealt with some injury issues during the Olympic Trials and now, healthy and fit, Quanera has the world leader! Looking forward to seeing Ms. Hayes run so well. The 400 meters will be extremely competitive this year, as always. Remember that Quanera broke the American record for 300 meters indoors this past indoor season!
