The fast heat of the 100m features four Americans: Muna Lee, Marshevet Hooker, Carmelita Jeter, and Torri Edwards. This meet should be quick and I would not be surprised to see the Olympic Trials order reversed.
The 5000m features Americans Sara Slattery, Amy Rudolph, and Molly Huddle. Each will be looking for redemption coming off of the Olympic trials and will be looking to run fast. This should be a distinct possibility as Merseret Defar and Kim Smith will be in the race to heat things up.
In the 100m hurdles, sensation Lolo Jones will to continue to amaze as she has all year.

The 100m features the fleet Jamaicans Asafa Powell and world record holder Usain Bolt. With these two athletes in the race a world record is a distinct possibility.
The 400m features Americans Jeremy Wariner and Kerron Clement.
The rarely contested 1000m should be scintillating with Sudanese phenom Abubaker Kaki Khamis, reigning olympic champion Yuriy Borzakovskiy, and American Chris Lukezic who is hoping to be pulled along for a fast time.
The 3000m should also be blazing with a slew of Ethipians and Kenyans with Americans Ed Moran and Matt Tegenkamp attempting to mix it up with the best in the world. Kenyan slayer Craig Mottram is also looking to turn heads.
The steeple features the singular Anthony Famiglietti who has been racing with bravado this season and is ready to race with the best in the world.
The 110mh features Cuban world record holder Dayron Robles fresh off his 12.88, which was only .01 off his own world record in Paris. American Terrance Tramell, and Aries Merritt seek to show their gusto against the world’s best.

American distance runners had a great showing at the Heusden KBC Night meet with a new American record established and numerous personal bests forged. The highlight of the meet was the women’s steeple.
In the women’s 3000m steeple Jenny Barringer and Anna Willard battle alone out front of the field. Barringer won with a 9:22.73 by .03 over Anna Willard setting a new American record. Both ran prs and under Willard’s old American record set at the trials of 9:27.59. These two women keep pushing each other to greatness.

In the men’s 1500m A heat Alan Webb finished in 6th with a 3:35.86. Webb obviously misjudged both his fitness and the competitiveness of the Olympic trials. He’ll be the fittest man in the world sitting home during the Olympics. Rob Meyers finished in 8th in 3:36.23. The B heat saw Americans finishing first, second, and fourth. With Will Leer winning in 3:37.63, Kurt Benninger in 3:38.03, and John Jefferson in 3:39.55.

Women’s 1500m: The pacers set an honest and steady pace in the women’s 1500m coming through 400m in 1:04.16, then 800 in 2:08.57. Rowbury sat on the inside of lane 1 in 5th place. At 1200m (3:14.66) to go Jamieson, Jamal, and Rowbury all went. Jamal, the world champion of Bahrain, was too strong for Rowbury and held her off in the final stretch running 3:59.99, Rowbury was second in 4:00.33 just barely missing the 4:00 barrier.

Women’s 800m: Pamela Jelimo, the world’s newest distance star, got out right on the rabbit in 55.71 through 400m. Jelimo passed the rabbit at 500m and opens up 20m instantly. She wins convincingly in 1:54.97 by 40m. In doing this she set the world junior record.
Women’s 5000m: This race is on 14:30 pace and Jen Rhines is out the back. Lucy Kabuu Wangui won in a blazing 14:38.49 dropping everyone in her wake by setting the pace herself. Rhines was 15:11.79 for 4th.
Men’s 100m: Burns wins in a slow 10.14.

Men’s 3000m: This race began oddly with a false start by Alistair Cragg. They are out in 59 seconds through 400m–hot race! Cragg inside in 3rd place–race has slowed. At the bell Craig boxed! The race was won by Kenyan Soi in 7:36.71. Cragg finished in 4th with a 7:38.21.

Men’s 3000m Steeple: Through 2k in 5:30.85. Sub 8 a possibility? 400 to go 7:06! 8:08.53 Mubarak.
Gaz de France Preview
Posted in Track and Field, tagged Alan Webb, Gaz de France, Jen Rhines, Jeremy Wariner, LeShawn Merritt, Shannon Rowbury on July 17, 2008| Leave a Comment »
The women’s 1500m features U.S. Olympic Trials champion Shannon Rowbury who will be looking to go sub 4:00 for the first time. The field is solid and Gaz de France is a viable opportunity for her.
The women’s 5k features Jen Rhines, the 2nd place finisher in the U.S. 5k trials. She is in a small but staked field of women all of which have personal bests under 15:00. This has to the potential to be a fast race.
The men’s 400m has a rematch between LeShawn Merritt and Jeremy Wariner–they are U.S. Olympic teammates but neither wants to lose to the other. This is fixin’ to be a battle.
The men’s 1500m features Alan Webb in a deep field. Will he blow up or will he keep improving?
This should be an exciting meet. Check back on this website for live updates.
International de Liege Results
Posted in Track and Field, tagged 3000m, 800m, Alan Webb, Bolota Asmeron, Christian Smith, Rob Meyers, Sam Burley, Will Leer on July 17, 2008| Leave a Comment »
This meet was a tune up meet for American athletes as milers moved down to the 800 to work on their speed. There were two 800m heats. Will Leer, a division 3 product from Pomona Pitzer, posted a 1:48.20 for 5th place behind Rob Meyer’s 1:47.43 which landed him in 2nd. The second heat featured Alan Webb, Christian Smith, and Sam Burley who finished in 5th through 7th place respectively. Webb’s time was a 1:46.89 in front of 800m Olympian Smith’s 1:47.14, with Burley coming in with a 1:47.51. It seems as though Webb is rounding into shape but ultimately it will not matter as he was not in shape for the trials and failed to make the 1500m squad.
The 3000m saw American Bolota Asmeron finishing 10th with a time of 7:54.11.
Many of the headlining American and international athletes sat this meet out in interest of resting for Friday’s Paris meet.
