Team USA ready to compete at World Championships in Berlin
INDIANAPOLIS - Reigning world champions Tyson Gay, Bernard Lagat, Allyson Felix, Jeremy Wariner, Kerron Clement, Michelle Perry, Reese Hoffa and Brad Walker will lead a potent Team USA roster at the 2009 IAAF World Outdoor Track & Field Championships. USA Track & Field on Tuesday announced the Team USA roster for the 12th edition of the Championships, which will be held August 15-23 in Berlin, Germany.
This will be the first time Team USA has returned to Berlin for a major international championship competition since the 1936 Olympic Games, where National Track & Field Hall of Famer Jesse Owens won gold medals in the 100m, 200m, 4x100m relay and long jump.
"These World Championships are special to us for many reasons," said USATF CEO Doug Logan. "It is Team USA's chance to come back strong in the post-Olympic year, and it is an opportunity to honor the incredible legacy of the great Jesse Owens. We feel our team roster will represent the United States well on both counts."
At the most recent World Outdoor Championships in 2007 in Osaka, Japan, Team USA tied the all-time World Championships record for gold medals with 14, matching its feat from 2005, and tied the American all-time medal tally at a World Outdoor Championships with 26. In Osaka, Team USA led a medal table in which a record 46 countries won medals. When Team USA last won 26 medals at a World Outdoor Championships in 1991, just 29 countries appeared on the medal table.
Team USA has dominated the 11 previous World Outdoor Championships with its overall total of 228 medals (110 gold, 60 silver, 38 bronze). Russia is in second place on the all-time medal table with 122 medals (33 gold, 51 silver, 38 bronze).
The highly accomplished 2009 Team USA squad consists of 20 Olympic medalists, 28 World Outdoor Championships medalists and 10 American record holders.
Reigning world champions include Tyson Gay, who will look to defend his world 100m and 200m titles from the 2007 Championships in Osaka, Japan. Gay won the 100m gold medal in 9.85 seconds and captured the world crown in the 200m by running 19.76. Gay's 200m performance bettered National Track & Field Hall of Famer Michael Johnson's World Outdoor Championships record of 19.79 set in 1995.
Gay posted the fastest 100m time in the world this year of 9.77 seconds with his win in Rome on July 10, and he also tops the world list in the 200m with his 19.58 clocking at the Reebok Grand Prix in New York on May 30, which is the third-fastest 200m in history.
Also looking to defend two world titles in Berlin will be two-time Olympic medalist Bernard Lagat, who became the first man ever to achieve the 1,500m/5,000m double at a World Outdoor Championships in Osaka. Lagat won the 1,500m in 3 minutes 34.77 seconds, and the 5,000m in 13:45.87.
Two-time Olympic 200m silver medalist Allyson Felix made history of her own in Osaka in becoming only the second woman ever to win three gold medals at a World Outdoor Championships. Felix, who won gold in the 4x100m and 4x400m relays, won the women's 200 meters in 21.81 seconds, giving her the greatest margin of victory (.53) in that event in World Championships history.
Other Americans looking to defend their Osaka individual world titles include 2008 Olympic Games silver medalist Kerron Clement in the men's 400m hurdles, American record holder Brad Walker in the men's pole vault, 2006 World Indoor champion Reese Hoffa in the men's shot put, and 2005 and 2007 women's 100m hurdles world champion Michelle Perry.
Team USA members who are the current world leaders in their events include Tyson Gay (M100m, 9.77 & 200m, 19.58), 2008 Olympic gold medalist LaShawn Merritt (M400m, 44.50), Andra Manson (MHJ - 2.35m/7-8.50), 2004 Olympic gold medalist and two-time World Outdoor champion Dwight Phillips (MLJ - 8.74m/28-8.25); Sanya Richards (W400m - 49.23), Lashinda Demus (W400mH - 52.63), Brittney Reese (WLJ - 7.06m/23-2) and 2008 Olympic gold medalist Stephanie Brown Trafton (WDT - 66.21m/217-2).

6/ 1. Dye 15.4, 2. Hugo Leistner (Stanford)
Karl Anderson, the reigning AAU champion, was favored to win heat 3, but fell while leading by 2 yards. Referee Prout again had to make a ruling, and advanced Anderson to the semifinals. The winner of that heat, Johnson won the second semi in 14.8, equal to the world record (though far inferior to Earl Thompson's 120y best of 14.4. However, the mark was never put forward for ratification due to the windy conditions.
Guthrie reversed the semifinal order in beating Johnson, with Kinsey interposed in second place; the time was good in view of the damp cold weather being at its worst for the final. Anderson the tallest (6'1 1/2) contender made the team, edging out Charles Moore for the vital 4th place. Ironically, Anderson fell again later in the season, this time in the final at Colobes Stadium, and was placed 5th of 6 when third-placed Guthrie was disqualified for knocking over three hurdles. Kinsey won the Olympic title in 15.0.

USTFCCCA Hall of Fame Class of 2009 Epitomizes Success
USTFCCCA Hall of Fame Class of 2009 Epitomizes Success
NEW ORLEANS (August 4, 2009) – Each U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Hall of Fame induction class is defined by the achievements and accomplishments of its inductees. The 2009 version of the USTFCCCA Hall of Fame is no different as this year’s class is defined by “success”.
From Arthur Gulden’s 68 cross country/track and field conference championships or Oscar Moore leading Rowan University (formerly Glassboro State) to five straight NCAA Division III Outdoor National Championships or Duane Vandenbusche coaching Western State to 12 cross country national championships, each coach to be enshrined in the 2009 USTFCCCA Hall of Fame has left an indelible mark on the collegiate cross country and track & field community.
“Year after year I am overly impressed when reviewing the accomplishments and contributions of those coaches selected for induction into the USTFCCCA Coaches Hall of Fame,” said USTFCCCA CEO Sam Seemes.
The USTFCCCA Class of 2009 consists of Gulden (Bucknell University), Franklin Pitcher “Pitch” Johnson (Drake University/Stanford University), Oscar Moore, Jr. (Rowan University), Charles (Chuck) Rohe (Furman University/University of Tennessee), Duane Vandenbusche (Western State College of Colorado), and Gary Winckler (Florida State University/University of Illinois).
“Our sports were fortunate that the six individuals to be enshrined into the USTFCCCA Hall of Fame Class of 2009 chose the profession of coaching cross country and track & field,” added Seemes. “On behalf of the USTFCCCA we congratulate each of these individuals on their selection and thank them for their years of leadership and service to the cross country and track & field community.”
The 2009 Hall of Fame induction ceremony will be held December 16, 2009 at the USTCCCA annual convention in Orlando, Florida.
Arthur “Art” Gulden
Art Gulden was the architect of the Bucknell Bison track & field and cross country program, building the team into one of the most respected programs in the East through years of commitment, hard work, and sacrifice. During his 31 years at Bucknell, the Bison won an unprecedented 68 conference titles, including 18 straight in cross country. Gulden-coached teams also won three men’s IC4A championships. Nationally, Gulden led the men’s cross country team to nine cross country championship appearances in 21 years. Gulden’s success was noticed by his coaching peers, as he was named the Patriot League Coach of the Year 20 times during his career. Gulden passed away on May 19, 2001 and was posthumously inducted into the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame, where he is enshrined alongside more than a dozen of his former pupils.
“If Art were still alive he would be deeply honored and humbled by this honor,” said Linda Gulden, the wife of the late Arthur Gulden. “He was a man who lived and breathed track & field and cross country, and enjoyed getting up in the morning to go to work. He loved to help the young men and women succeed both on and off the track. Track & field and cross country was his life’s work.”
Franklin Pitcher “Pitch” Johnson, Sr.
Franklin Pitcher “Pitch” Johnson’s contributions to the sports of track & field and cross country extend far beyond his successful coaching career. Johnson helped establish the fledgling National Collegiate Track Coaches Association (NCTCA), serving as an officer from 1933 until his retirement from coaching, including a three-year stint as President (1935-1938). As a coach, Johnson put Drake University Track & Field on the map as head track & field coach from 1928 to 1940 and director of the Drake Relays from 1933 to 1940. Under his guidance, the Bulldogs earned ten team conference championships in track & field (six indoors and four outdoors), won 30 individual Missouri Valley Conference titles, and finished third (1938) and fourth (1939) in the first two years of the NCAA Cross Country Championships. Johnson ended his coaching career at Stanford University, serving as head track & field coach from 1940 to 1943.
“I am very pleased and gratified that the USTFCCCA has chosen my father, Franklin (Pitch) Johnson for its Hall of Fame,” said Franklin Pitcher “Pitch” Johnson, Jr., son of the late “Pitch” Johnson, Sr. “As a former Olympic hurdler, he always loved the sport in which people ‘run, jump and throw things,’ as he frequently put it.”
Oscar Moore, Jr.
Rowan University’s (formerly Glassboro State) Oscar Moore, Jr. began the school’s men’s track & field program in 1971 and had immediate success. The men’s program became a mainstay at the NCAA championships, competing at the NCAA Division III Championships for 20 straight years under Moore’s guidance. Rowan earned runner-up honors in 1978 and 1979 before putting together a string of five-straight outdoor track and field titles from 1980-84. Moore’s 1982 NCAA championship team still holds the record for most points scored at the NCAA Division III Outdoor Track & Field Championships with 119 points. Rowan’s five outdoor track and field national championships are the third-most in Division III. Moore-led squads won 19 straight New Jersey Athletic Conference titles, earned over 130 All-American honors, and won 24 NCAA individual titles. Moore was named the NCAA Division III National Coach of the Year every year from 1980-1984.
“I am very honored, humble and overwhelmed,” said Moore. “All I can say at the present is that God did it again. He has blessed me so many times in my career.”
Charles “Chuck” Rohe
Regarded as the “Father” of track and field in the South, Charles “Chuck” Rohe was the link between football players and track and field athletes while at Tennessee. He began his storied career as the Head Coach at Hattiesburg High School, then moved on to Furman University before taking over as the men’s Head Coach at the University of Tennessee. At Tennessee, Rohe led the men’s team to 21 straight cross country and track & field SEC Conference Championships. He had six top-ten NCAA Championship finishes, and he coached three NCAA Individual Champions, 53 SEC Indoor event champions, and 49 SEC Outdoor event champions. Rohe was named the 1967 NCAA National Coach of the Year.
“I am honored and excited about my selection to the USTFCCCA Hall of Fame,” said Rohe. “Among my most treasured career accomplishments was the state championship while at Hattiesburg, Southern Conference championships at Furman, and 21 consecutive SEC Championships at Tennessee. In the last couple of years we have had great reunions with all these championship teams and certainly these athletes and their record-setting performances are the principal qualifications I have for induction into the USTFCCCA Hall of Fame.”
Duane Vandenbusche
Few might have guessed at the outstanding career that would follow when Duane Vandenbusche, then a history professor at Western State, began working with a struggling Mountaineer track & field program in 1972. Three years later, Vandenbusche took the reins of the cross country and track & field program and began to build a national powerhouse. By the time Vandenbusche retired in 2007, the Mountaineer men and women had won 12 national team titles in cross country (10 NCAA Division II and two NAIA), captured 51 individual national championships in track & field and cross country, and earned over 300 All-American honors. Vandenbusche earned a total of seven National Coach of the Year honors over the course of his career at Western State.
“I’m honored to be selected for entry into the USTFCCCA Hall of Fame,” said Vandenbusche. “I owe this award to all the great athletes and assistant coaches at Western State College throughout my 36-year coaching career.”
Gary Winckler
Track & field was more than just a sport to former Illinois and Florida State women’s track & field head coach Gary Winckler, it was an opportunity to help young women succeed both on and off the track. Nationally regarded as one of the nation’s most premier coaches, Winckler’s Illinois teams regularly battled for Big Ten Conference Championships, winning a total of 11 during his time in Champaign. He was named the Big Ten Coach of the Year 11 times, the 2007 USTFCCCA Midwest Region Outdoor Track & Field Coach of the Year, and was named NCAA Division I Coach of the Year three times. Winckler coached athletes earned 266 Big Ten individual titles and over 175 All-American honors. Dating back to 1992 Winckler has had an athlete compete in every World Championship and Olympic Games. Prior to his arrival on the Illinois campus Winckler coached at Florida State University, leading the Seminole women to the 1984 NCAA outdoor title and the 1985 NCAA indoor title. His 1984 team scored the second-most points (145) in NCAA history at the women’s outdoor championships. Winckler coached over 100 All-Americans while at Florida State.

Gulden passed away on May 19, 2001 and was posthumously inducted into the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame, where he is enshrined alongside more than a dozen of his former pupils.
“If Art were still alive he would be deeply honored and humbled by this honor,” said Linda Gulden, the wife of the late Arthur Gulden. “He was a man who lived and breathed track & field and cross country, and enjoyed getting up in the morning to go to work. He loved to help the young men and women succeed both on and off the track. Track & field and cross country was his life’s work.”
Franklin Pitcher “Pitch” Johnson, Sr.
Franklin Pitcher “Pitch” Johnson’s contributions to the sports of track & field and cross country extend far beyond his successful coaching career. Johnson helped establish the fledgling National Collegiate Track Coaches Association (NCTCA), serving as an officer from 1933 until his retirement from coaching, including a three-year stint as President (1935-1938). As a coach, Johnson put Drake University Track & Field on the map as head track & field coach from 1928 to 1940 and director of the Drake Relays from 1933 to 1940. Under his guidance, the Bulldogs earned ten team conference championships in track & field (six indoors and four outdoors), won 30 individual Missouri Valley Conference titles, and finished third (1938) and fourth (1939) in the first two years of the NCAA Cross Country Championships. Johnson ended his coaching career at Stanford University, serving as head track & field coach from 1940 to 1943.
“I am very pleased and gratified that the USTFCCCA has chosen my father, Franklin (Pitch) Johnson for its Hall of Fame,” said Franklin Pitcher “Pitch” Johnson, Jr., son of the late “Pitch” Johnson, Sr. “As a former Olympic hurdler, he always loved the sport in which people ‘run, jump and throw things,’ as he frequently put it.”
Oscar Moore, Jr.
Rowan University’s (formerly Glassboro State) Oscar Moore, Jr. began the school’s men’s track & field program in 1971 and had immediate success. The men’s program became a mainstay at the NCAA championships, competing at the NCAA Division III Championships for 20 straight years under Moore’s guidance. Rowan earned runner-up honors in 1978 and 1979 before putting together a string of five-straight outdoor track and field titles from 1980-84. Moore’s 1982 NCAA championship team still holds the record for most points scored at the NCAA Division III Outdoor Track & Field Championships with 119 points. Rowan’s five outdoor track and field national championships are the third-most in Division III. Moore-led squads won 19 straight New Jersey Athletic Conference titles, earned over 130 All-American honors, and won 24 NCAA individual titles. Moore was named the NCAA Division III National Coach of the Year every year from 1980-1984.
“I am very honored, humble and overwhelmed,” said Moore. “All I can say at the present is that God did it again. He has blessed me so many times in my career.”
Charles “Chuck” Rohe
Regarded as the “Father” of track and field in the South, Charles “Chuck” Rohe was the link between football players and track and field athletes while at Tennessee. He began his storied career as the Head Coach at Hattiesburg High School, then moved on to Furman University before taking over as the men’s Head Coach at the University of Tennessee. At Tennessee, Rohe led the men’s team to 21 straight cross country and track & field SEC Conference Championships. He had six top-ten NCAA Championship finishes, and he coached three NCAA Individual Champions, 53 SEC Indoor event champions, and 49 SEC Outdoor event champions. Rohe was named the 1967 NCAA National Coach of the Year.
“I am honored and excited about my selection to the USTFCCCA Hall of Fame,” said Rohe. “Among my most treasured career accomplishments was the state championship while at Hattiesburg, Southern Conference championships at Furman, and 21 consecutive SEC Championships at Tennessee. In the last couple of years we have had great reunions with all these championship teams and certainly these athletes and their record-setting performances are the principal qualifications I have for induction into the USTFCCCA Hall of Fame.”
Duane Vandenbusche
Few might have guessed at the outstanding career that would follow when Duane Vandenbusche, then a history professor at Western State, began working with a struggling Mountaineer track & field program in 1972. Three years later, Vandenbusche took the reins of the cross country and track & field program and began to build a national powerhouse. By the time Vandenbusche retired in 2007, the Mountaineer men and women had won 12 national team titles in cross country (10 NCAA Division II and two NAIA), captured 51 individual national championships in track & field and cross country, and earned over 300 All-American honors. Vandenbusche earned a total of seven National Coach of the Year honors over the course of his career at Western State.
“I’m honored to be selected for entry into the USTFCCCA Hall of Fame,” said Vandenbusche. “I owe this award to all the great athletes and assistant coaches at Western State College throughout my 36-year coaching career.”
Gary Winckler
Track & field was more than just a sport to former Illinois and Florida State women’s track & field head coach Gary Winckler, it was an opportunity to help young women succeed both on and off the track. Nationally regarded as one of the nation’s most premier coaches, Winckler’s Illinois teams regularly battled for Big Ten Conference Championships, winning a total of 11 during his time in Champaign. He was named the Big Ten Coach of the Year 11 times, the 2007 USTFCCCA Midwest Region Outdoor Track & Field Coach of the Year, and was named NCAA Division I Coach of the Year three times. Winckler coached athletes earned 266 Big Ten individual titles and over 175 All-American honors. Dating back to 1992 Winckler has had an athlete compete in every World Championship and Olympic Games. Prior to his arrival on the Illinois campus Winckler coached at Florida State University, leading the Seminole women to the 1984 NCAA outdoor title and the 1985 NCAA indoor title. His 1984 team scored the second-most points (145) in NCAA history at the women’s outdoor championships. Winckler coached over 100 All-Americans while at Florida State.

Golden Bears Add Deep Recruiting Class
Golden Bears Add Deep Recruiting Class
36 Newcomers Join Cal Track & Field, Cross Country for 2009-10
Aug. 3, 2009
BERKELEY - A total of 36 student-athletes - 22 men and 14 women - will join the California track & field team as recruits for the 2009-10 season, Golden Bear head Coach Tony Sandoval announced Friday. The group includes a pair of California state high school champions, a sub-four-minute miler and a multi-event All-American, as well as a national youth champion.
"This year's recruiting class has a blend of athletes who can score at the NCAA championships immediately and a number of `diamonds in the rough' that should help immediately at the Pac-10 championships and eventually the NCAA's," Sandoval said. "The staff worked extremely hard throughout the year and I believe we're set up to go after some of the best talent on the West Coast year after year. Cal's academic prestige and Athletic Study Center allow us to attract those athletes who want the very best of academics and athletics. We want to be a consistently elite program across the board."
On the men's side, James Brewer, a transfer from the University of Bath in England, will enter Cal in the fall after running a 3:54.80 mile at the Aviva London Grand Prix on July 25. The runner-up at the European Under-23 Championships in the 1500 meters this past summer, he owns a best of 1:47.92 in the 800m and 3:39.01 in the 1500m. Brewer was the European Junior runner-up in the 800 in 2007. Brewer was named to the UK's National team and will be in Berlin for the 2009 World Championships.
Michael Morrison, who is transferring from the University of Florida, earned All-American honors at the 2008 NCAA indoor championships in the heptathlon and was the 2007 SEC Indoor and Outdoor Freshman Athlete of the Year. He captured the 2008 Mt. SAC Relays title in the decathlon (career-best 7,803) and has also cleared 16-10.75 outdoors in the pole vault. Morrison has a HS best of 17'6.25" in the pole vault.
Chase Wheeler and Hammed Suleman both captured state titles this past spring. Wheeler, from De La Salle HS in Concord, won the long jump with a mark of 25-2.25, while Suleman, of Deer Valley HS in Antioch, went 49-7.50 to claim the triple jump competition. Wheeler has bests of 10.70 in the 100m and 21.68 in 200m. Suleman jumped a best of 51-2 in the TJ at the Oakland Relays, and he has gone 24-1 in the long jump.

Hanscom wins three gold medals at World Masters Championships
INDIANAPOLIS - U.S. Masters great Rita Hanscom was victorious in the W55 age-group pole vault Monday and has now won three gold medals at the 2009 World Masters Athletics Championships in Lahti, Finland.
The Championships feature athletes from all over the world ranging in age from 30-95+ in an impressive display of speed, strength, and endurance for all ages. Track events range from 100 meters to 10,000 meters, while field events include the full range of jumps and throws. The Championships will continue through Sunday, August 8.
Hanscom's best clearance of 2.70 meters/8 feet, 10.25 inches earlier today in the pole vault tied her for the top spot with Sue Yeomans of Great Britain & Northern Ireland, who cleared the identical height. Hanscom totaled fewer misses during the competition and was declared the winner.
Hanscom competed in the 300m hurdles Saturday for only the second time in her career and won the gold medal in 53.25 seconds. Marcela Pacrita of Romania was the runner-up in 55.21, with Belgium's Jocelyne Pater third in 55.86.
In the W55 heptathlon, Hanscom blew away the competition by amassing 6,382 points, which is a new heptathlon world age-group record. Grania Leaping Rabbit of Germany was the runner-up totaling 4,501 points, with Portugal's Helena Maria Pires De Carvalhofinishing third with 4,314 points.
In other news from combined events competition, Emil Pawlik finished the M70 decathlon 1,500 meters in a downpour, but held on to win the competition with 7,814 points. Pawlik's winning margin over runner-up Willi Klaus of Germany was 110 points. Bill Murray set an American record in the M55 decathlon with his total of 8,087 points, which easily bettered runner-up Klaus Peter Neuendorf of Germany's total of 7,179 points.
In the 100m prelims in Lahti, Renee Henderson posted an American record in the W45 age group with her time of 12.10 seconds. Her performance shattered the previous standard by masters all-time great Phil Raschker of 12.50 from 1995. Henderson went on to win the gold medal, clocking 12.22 in the final.

Team USA sweeps 4x400 relays, wins 56 total medals at Pan Am Junior Champs
PORT OF SPAIN - Team USA concluded competition Sunday night, winning a record 56 out of a possible 84 total medals and sweeping the relays at the 2009 Pan Am Junior Championships at Hasely Crawford Stadium in Port of Spain, Trinidad.
It was a battle between Team USA and Jamaica in the women's 4x400m, with lead-off leg Alishea Usery (St. Louis, Mos.) taking the early lead and handing off to Angele Cooper (Long Beach, Calif.). It was an even exchange when Cooper handed off to Kellie Schueler (Bend, Ore.), who battled Jamaica's Danielle Dowie the entire way. Some shoving on turn four caused Schueler to step inside the rail before returning to the track and surging down the final 100m. She passed to Diamond Richardson (Desoto, Texas) who held on to and extended Team USA's lead, finishing in 3:36.34. Team USA was originally disqualified for a pushing violation, but the win was reinstated upon appeal.
The men's 4x400m was just as exciting, as Team USA was initially in second place when the first and second legs, Clayton Parros (West Orange, N.J.) and Duane Walker (Compton, Calif.), faced 2007 World Youth and Pan Am Junior champion Kirani James and Rondell Bartholomew of Grenada, who built up a 25 meter lead. But the third leg made all the difference and within 200m, Joey Hughes (Long Beach, Calif.) had passed Grenada and built up his own lead. With an unofficial anchor split of 44.9, Pan Am Junior 400m silver medalist Tavaris Tate (Starkville, Miss.) brought Team USA home in 3:03.25 to win the gold medal.
The 2007 World Youth gold and silver medalists in the men's 400m hurdles, William Wynne (Gainesville, Fla.) and Reggie Wyatt (Riverside, Calif.), brought home two medals tonight. The 2007 USATF Youth Athlete of the Year, Wynne broke his own Championship record, set yesterday in qualifying in the men's 400m hurdles, winning the gold medal in a world junior-leading 49.31. Wyatt claimed the bronze in 50.61. On the women's side, current world junior leader Dalilah Muhammed (Bayside, N.Y.) finished as the silver medalist in 58.42 and Turquoise Thompson (San Diego, Calif.) was fourth in 59.08.
The silver medalist in the women's triple jump, Alitta Boyd (Hayward, Calif.) won the women's long jump with a leap of 6.08m/19-11.5 into a -1.9mps headwind. Lauryn Newson (Oakland, Calif.) took the bronze medal with a best effort of 5.98m/19-7.5. Eric Kynard (Toledo, Ohio) cleared 2.10m/6-10.75 to tie for the silver medal in the men's high jump with Mexico's Edgar Rivera. Ricky Robertson (Hernando, Miss.) finished fourth at the same height.
After two days of competition in grueling heat and humidity and four individual event wins, Ryann Kraiss (Eagleville, Pa.) won the silver medal in the women's heptathlon with 5,454 points. Her wins came in the 100m hurdles (13.93), high jump (1.76m/5-9.25), long jump (5.68m/18-7.75) and the 800m (2:18.56). Rebecca Neville (Merrillville, Ind.) finished in sixth with 4,627 points.
Team USA's men followed in their predecessor's footsteps, going 1-2 in the men's shot put. The gold medalist in the discus, Mason Finley (Buena Vista, Colo.) set a Championship record with his heave of 20.36m/66-9.75. Jordan Clarke (Anchorage, Alaska) was the runner-up with 19.97m/65-6.25. The previous record of 19.95m/65-5.5 was set by Garrett Johnson in 2003.
American Junior record holder William Claye (Phoenix, Az.) won the men's triple jump with a hop, skip and leap of 16.57m/54-4.5. Albert Johnson (Riverdale, N.Y.) took third with 15.89m/52-1.75w to bring home the bronze medal.
In the men's 5,000m, Sean Keveren (Brentwood, Tenn.) claimed the silver medal in 14:14.46 and Colby Lowe (Southlake, Texas) the bronze in 14:14.57. Elizabeth Hynes (St. Charles, Ill.) ran a strong race in the women's 3,000m, crossing the line in 10:04.92 to win the bronze medal. Emily Sisson (St. Louis, Mo.) finished fourth in 10:17.15. In the women's 3,000m steeplechase, Natalie Busby (New Paltz, N.Y.) was fourth in 11:02.30 and Allysa Allison (Festus, Mo.) was fifth in 11:20.98.
In the women's 800m final, Chanelle Price (Easton, Pa.) took the pace out from the gun, running with a five meter lead from the start. But Cuba's Rose Marie Blanco started gaining ground on Price in the second half and with 100m to go, passed Price and continued on for the win in 2:03.83. It was then a battle for silver as Canada's Helen Croft powered down the final straight, but Price edged her out to finish second in 2:05.13 to Croft's 2:05.19. Laura Roesler (Fargo, N.D.) finished sixth in 2:07.50. Joseph Abbott (Reno, Nev.) surged down the final straight in men's 800m to win the bronze medal in 1:48.99 and Dylan Ferris (San Francisco, Calif.) finished fifth in 1:49.84.
On his last throw of the competition, Justin Welch (Pemberville, Ohio) launched the hammer a personal best 68.22m/223-10 to move into third place and claim the bronze medal. Tyler Johnson (Las Vegas, Nev.) finished fifth with a personal best 63.34m/207-10. Casey Wagner (Woodside, Calif.) finished fifth in the women's javelin with a mark of 43.35m/142-2 and Courtney Kirkwood (Othello, Wash.) was seventh with 41.64m/136-7.

Love leads record rush on final day of Junior Olympics
GREENSBORO, N.C. -- Neither rain, nor wind, nor any other force of nature could stop the Carolina Elite's Bryce Love Sunday as he won his third individual gold in record-setting fashion, stunning the crowd with a 50.75 in the midget boys' 400 on the final day of the USA Track & Field Junior Olympic National Championships at North Carolina A&T State's Irwin Belk Track.
Love, who set a pair of national youth records in the 200, started his day with a win in the 100 at 11.79 into a stiff wind, and then made the best of terrible weather conditions to rip his own 400 record to shreds, slicing more than a second off the time he turned in Friday in the prelims.
Miami Northwestern's Robin Reynolds also notched her third individual gold of the meet, taking the intermediate girls' 400 in a near-national-record 52.15, missing the mark by only .04. Kristyn Williams of Dallas Gold also turned in a lifetime best in second with a 52.59. Reynolds earlier raced to bronze in the 100, after previously winning the long jump and 200.
Another South Florida athlete, Aaron Hanna of Miami Dade TC, shettered the national record in the midget boys' shot put, throwing the six-pound ball 15.77 meters/51-9. Silver medalist Malik McMorris also topped the previous record with his 15.27m/50-1.25 effort. Jasmyne Graham of Cal Rising Stars chopped more than three-tenths off the midget girls' 80 hurdles record, winning in 11.94.
Meet records fell in the youth boys' discus, where Grant Hill of Huntsville won with a toss of 57.63m/189-1, and in the bantam girls' 1500, with Daesha Rogers knocking almost 10 seconds off the previous best with her 4:51.62. She returned just over an hour later to win the 400 in 61.78. In the young women's javelin, World Youth team member Ashley Aldredge of Peak Performance set a meet record with a throw of 45.27m/148-6.
Raevyn Rogers of Wings TC made quick work of the youth girls' 400, stopping the clock at 54.01 to add that gold to the one she won yesterday in the 800. Claudia Francis of Team Evolution was another double-winner, adding the intermediate girls' 1500 gold to the 800 she won yesterday.
Marielle Hall of Juventus TC, who was on Team USA at the World Youth Championships,was dominant in the young women's 1500, winning by more than 10 seconds in 4:33.62. Howard Shepard of the Texas Stars TC completed the middle distance double with gold in the young men's 1500, winning in 4:01.97 with a superb homestretch sprint.
Youth girls' throws double gold went to Kennedy Blahnik of Wisconsin, who won the shot put at 14.69m/48-2.5, after taking top honors in the discus Friday.

Kristyn Williams of Dallas Gold also turned in a lifetime best in second with a 52.59. Reynolds earlier raced to bronze in the 100, after previously winning the long jump and 200.
Another South Florida athlete, Aaron Hanna of Miami Dade TC, shettered the national record in the midget boys' shot put, throwing the six-pound ball 15.77 meters/51-9. Silver medalist Malik McMorris also topped the previous record with his 15.27m/50-1.25 effort. Jasmyne Graham of Cal Rising Stars chopped more than three-tenths off the midget girls' 80 hurdles record, winning in 11.94.
Meet records fell in the youth boys' discus, where Grant Hill of Huntsville won with a toss of 57.63m/189-1, and in the bantam girls' 1500, with Daesha Rogers knocking almost 10 seconds off the previous best with her 4:51.62. She returned just over an hour later to win the 400 in 61.78. In the young women's javelin, World Youth team member Ashley Aldredge of Peak Performance set a meet record with a throw of 45.27m/148-6.
Raevyn Rogers of Wings TC made quick work of the youth girls' 400, stopping the clock at 54.01 to add that gold to the one she won yesterday in the 800. Claudia Francis of Team Evolution was another double-winner, adding the intermediate girls' 1500 gold to the 800 she won yesterday.
Marielle Hall of Juventus TC, who was on Team USA at the World Youth Championships,was dominant in the young women's 1500, winning by more than 10 seconds in 4:33.62. Howard Shepard of the Texas Stars TC completed the middle distance double with gold in the young men's 1500, winning in 4:01.97 with a superb homestretch sprint.
Youth girls' throws double gold went to Kennedy Blahnik of Wisconsin, who won the shot put at 14.69m/48-2.5, after taking top honors in the discus Friday.

PORT OF SPAIN - Team USA picked up another 19 medals as the men and women won the 4x100-meter relays, Curtis Beach won the decathlon and Chalonda Goodman won her second and third gold medals Saturday night at the 2009 Pan Am Junior Championships at Hasely Crawford Stadium in Port of Spain, Trinidad.
Team USA dominated the sprint relays, winning the men's and women's 4x100-meter relays. Jessica Davis (Los Angeles, Calif.), Amber Purvis (Benicia, Calif.), Tasha Allen (Milwaukee, Wisc.) and Chalonda Goodman (Newnan, Ga.) got the stick around the track in 44.09 to beat Jamaica (44.96) and Trinidad and Tobago (45.38). Keyth Talley (Tuscaloosa, Ala.), D'Angelo Cherry (Jonesboro, Ga.), Trevante Rhodes (Austin, Texas) and Marcus Rowland (Spartanburg, S.C.) set a Championship record in winning the men's 4x100m relay in 39.06.
For the fourth time in the history of these Championships, Team USA went 1-2 in the decathlon. Running a stunning 4:20.54 in the 1,500m to close out the competition, Curtis Beach (Albuquerque, N.M.) won the decathlon with 7,377 points. Gray Horn (Gainesville, Fla.) finished as the runner-up with 6,982 points and had an individual win in the 110m hurdles in 14.35.
Chalonda Goodman won her second individual gold medal of these Championships in winning the women's 200m in 23.08. Tasha Allen brought home the silver in 23.51. On the men's side, Keyth Talley took second in 20.78 and claimed the silver medal.
Maya Pressley (Coconut Creek, Fla.) and Krystle Schade (Sunrise, Fla.) won gold and silver in the women's high jump, each clearing 1.76m/5-9.25. Pressley got the win for having clean attempts through 1.76/5-9.25, while Schade took second after one miss as the winning height. 2008 World Junior champion Marquise Goodwin (Garland, Texas) won the silver medal in the men's long jump with a leap of 7.85m/52-9.25. Alex Madkins (Oklahoma City, Okla.) was fifth with 7.46m/24-5.75.
Sarah Andrews (The Woodlands, Texas) and Aisling Cuffie (New Windsor, N.Y.) controlled the race in the women's 5,000m, running together in first and second through most of the race. With 400m to go, Andrews started pulling away from Cuffie and crossed the line in 16:42.38. Cuffie was second in 16:47.45. Parker Stinson (Cedar Park, Texas) ran into a third-place finish in the men's 10,000m, claiming the bronze medal in 31:48.35. Anthony Solis (Ontario, Calif.) finished fifth in 32:33.79.
Team USA once again went 1-2 in the pole vault, this time on the men's side. Two-time USA Junior champion Jack Whitt (Norman, Okla.) was the victor, clearing 5.20m/17-0.75 and Mike Arnold (Salt Lake City, Utah) the runner-up at 5.10m/16-8.75.
In the men's 3,000m steeplechase, 2009 USA Junior champion Sean Soderman (Charlotte, N.C.) moved into the lead with five laps to go and fought hard to keep it, battling Canada's Mattias Wolter the entire way. But with 300m to go, Wolter kicked into a gear that Soderman just didn't have to win the race in 9:05.28 with Soderman winning silver in 9:10.75. Syracuse's Joe Whelan (Hamburg, N.Y.) slipped and got banged up at the first water barrier, but picked himself back up and ran his own race to finish sixth in 9:24.53.
Team USA picked up two medals in the women's discus throw as Anastasia Jelmini (Bakersfield, Calif.) and Erin Pendleton (Elmore, Ohio) went 2-3. Jelmini won her second medal of the competition with a runner-up toss of 54.91m/180-2 and Pendleton took bronze with 48.01m/157-6.

Trevor Barron (Bethel Park, Pa.), who just a few weeks ago took fourth in the boys 10,000m race walk at the 2009 World Youth Championships, took fourth this morning in the 10,000m race walk crossing the line in 42:50.51. In what is becoming his signature style, Barron started out at the back of the pack and continually worked his way to the front and for some time was in third place. But coming down the final straight, Barron was passed by the fast-moving Giovanni Torres who claimed bronze in 42:46.89. Matthew Forgues (Boothbay Harbor, Maine) finished ninth in 48:42.58.
In qualifying action at the track tonight, Chanelle Price (Knoxville, Tenn.) won her heat in the women's 800m in 2:08.04 and Laura Roesler (Fargo, N.D.) took third in her heat in 2:13.32 as each automatically qualified for tomorrow's final. Joseph Abbott (1:52.30, Reno, Nev.) and Dylan Ferris (1:53.64, San Francisco, Calif.) won their respective heats in the men's 800. Dalilah Muhammad (Bayside, N.Y.) won heat 1 in the women's 400m hurdles in 59.42 and Turquoise Thompson (San Diego, Calif.) took second in heat 2 in 1:00.40.

Pilots Add Elite Norwegian to MXC Recruiting Class
Lars Erik MaldePORTLAND, Ore. --- Head coach Rob Conner continues to stockpile talented incoming freshmen to the University of Portland cross country roster. The latest addition is Lars Erik Malde who signed a National Letter of Intent this week and will join the team this fall. A native of Hafrsfjord, Norway, Malde finished 16th at the European Under-20 Cross Country Championships in December and 10th in the European Under-20 5000-meter run this summer.
After matching a school record by finishing seventh at the 2008 NCAA Men’s Cross Country Championships, Conner adds to what he already considered the best recruiting class in school history. Malde joins Trevor Dunbar and Joash Osoro, considered two of the top incoming freshmen in the nation, as well as 18 other impressive newcomers.
“Lars is going to fit in well,” Conner said. “He is a very talented young long distance runner. He has only been training a short time and should improve rapidly in our training group. Academically he is also a great fit and is deciding between a math and physics major.”
Portland tied its best finish in school history at the 2008 NCAA Cross Country Championship meet by finishing seventh overall. Graduating senior David Kinsella set a school record by placing fourth individually, but Conner and the Pilots will return All-American Alfred Kipchumba, All-West Region honoree Tommy Betterbed and Matt Frerker, who was Portland’s fourth finisher at the meet.
“I do believe Lars will be able to step onto the varsity as a freshman and contribute this fall, as could Trevor Dunbar and Joash Osoro,” Conner added. “We could potentially field a very young team this fall as Kipchumba and Frerker will only be sophomores. The future of Pilot cross country has never looked better.”

Felix dashes to 21.88 World lead, Gay dominates with 9.79w in Stockholm – IAAF World Athletics Tour
An ideal pacemaking by Yevgeniya Zinurova (64.6/64.7) brought Shannon Rowbury to 2:59 at the beginning of the final lap of the women’s 1500m. But Christin Wurth-Thomas caught the American champion and went off to win in 4:03.01, two and a half seconds before Rowbury, all of it gained in less than 200 meters.
“The rabbit did a great job with a perfect pace,” said Wurth-Thomas, who was second to Rowbury at the US championships last month. “I only had to relax, follow her and work hard to the finish.”

Davis sets World Junior record on day 1 of Pan Am Juniors
PORT OF SPAIN - Wayne Davis' world junior record and 18 individual medals by Team USA highlighted Day 1 of the 2009 Pan Am Junior Championships at Hasley Crawford Field in Port of Spain, Trinidad.
Already holding the title of the fastest youth ever over the 110-meter hurdles, Wayne Davis (Raleigh, N.C.) is now the fastest junior athlete ever in the 110m hurdles. Having already run a world junior leading 13.19 in the first round, Davis shot out of the blocks and into the lead accelerating all the way down the track to win in a pending world junior record time of 13.08 seconds. The previous record of 13.12 was set in 2002 by 2004 Olympic gold medalist Liu Xiang. 2008 World Junior silver medalist Booker Nunley (Columbia, S.C.) once again claimed silver in 13.32.
2009 USA Junior champion Marcus Rowland (Spartanburg, S.C.) ran the fourth-fastest time ever recorded in the junior men's 100m, crossing the line in 10.03 (+0.7mps) and D'Angelo Cherry (Jonesboro, Ga.) claimed the silver medal in 10.17.

Taylor Wallace (Klamath Falls, Ore.) lead the chase pack for most of the race, but could not hold off Mexico's Laura Galvan (4:30.72), and finished third for the bronze medal in 4:31.76. On the men's side, 2009 USA Junior champion Mac Fleet (San Diego, Calif.) started out towards the back of the back, but continually worked his way up and surged over the final lap to take the lead and claim the gold medal in 3:48.04.

Around the 200m mark, 2009 World Youth champion Kirani James (GRN) kicked into gear and pulled to the front.

Love wows locals with national youth 400 record on day four of Junior Olympics
GREENSBORO, N.C. -- Before Mother Nature dropped a storm of her own on the Irwin Belk Track Friday, home-state favorite Bryce Love of Carolina Elite showed a little lightning of his own as he ripped to a national youth record 51.76 in the midget boys' 400-meters prelims on day four of the USA Track & Field National Junior Olympic Championships at North Carolina A&T State University.
Love smashed the previous record of 52.90, set by Xavier Jones in 2007, and but for a bit too much wind would have laid claim to the national youth 100 record as well. Aided by a just-over-the-allowable 2.4 meters-per-second breeze, Love dashed to an 11.59 in the heats. The national youth record? 11.69, set in 2008.
Miami Northwest's Robin Reynolds, already a near-legend in youth track circles, added to her gold medal collection with a win in the intermediate girls' long jump, leaping a wind-aided 5.95 meters/19-6.25. She stayed busy the remainder of the day recording the fastest qualifying times in the 400 (52.60, a personal best) and 100 (11.68).
Finals in 18 field events dominated Friday's action on the medal stand. Windy and rainy conditions hampered the throwing events, and rendered most performances in the horizontal jumps illegal for record purposes. The top efforts of the day were turned in by Damion Johnson of Baldwin County, who won the young men's long jump with a very-windy 7.52m/24-8.25 leap, and World Youth team member Morgann LeLeux of Louisiana, who took gold in the young women's pole vault with a clearance at 3.85m/12-7.5.
Discus titles were won in impressive fashion by Aslynn Halvorson in the young women's division (46.64m/153-0) and Danny Block of Illinois in the young men's competition (57.50m/188-8).
Intermediate shot put golds went to Adrienne Alexander of Metropolis (13.43m/44-0.75) and Jordan Roos (16.48m/54-1), while Derek Eager of Seatown Express won the young men's javelin with a throw of 55.50m/182-1.
Andrea Guebelle of the Flying AJ's captured the young women's triple jump title with a leap of 12.45m/40-10.25, and Derreck Edwards of Track Houston won the intermediate boys' division at 14.42m/47-3.75w.
Other winners were: Mystasia Alexander of the LA Jets (midget girls' javelin); Kira Larson of Team Nodak (youth girls' high jump); Kennedy Blahnik of Wisconsin (youth girls' discus); Sasha Smallwood (intermediate girls' pole vault); Robert Dunning of First Light (midget boys' high jump); Sean Lee of USA High Jump (bantam boys' high jump); Kushaal Tadepalli of Valley United (bantam boys' shot put); and Hunter Hopkins of Rockwall Mustangs (youth boys' javelin).
Competition resumes Saturday at 8 am with prelims in the 400 hurdles.
