Watched Jeter's interview... Paid a lot of props to Bianca Knight actually. In fact, as group lead, Jeter insisted that it be Bianca to hand to her because she could trust her. By the way I do agree Madison played a huge role. Allyson Felix was untouchable that season and was always going to do her thing. Jeter herself of course was not gonna be touched.
