Golden League begins Sunday
Sanya Richards, Damu Cherry, Amy Acuff, Chaunte Howard and David Payne will headline the start lists this weekend at the first event of the IAAF Golden League, the DKB-ISTAF Berlin meeting on Sunday, June 14 in Germany. The IAAF Golden League offers a $1 Million Jackpot, which represents international athletics' biggest annual payday. Athletes must win at all six meetings to acquire at least a share.
Already a two-time Golden League Jackpot winner, 2008 Olympic bronze medalist Sanya Richards wants to make the third time the charm. Richards will run her specialty 400m Sunday and face little competition.
Damu Cherry, who took fourth in Beijing, enters the women's 100-meter hurdles as one of the favorites, and will face 2007 World Outdoor bronze medalist Delloreen Ennis-London (JAM) who took fifth behind Cherry in Beijing.
Four-time Olympian Amy Acuff and 2005 World Outdoor silver medalist Chaunte Howard will compete in the women's high jump, where Beijing silver medalist and 2007 World Outdoor champion Blanka Vlasic (CRO) is the favorite.
2008 Olympic silver medalist David Payne is entered in the men's 110m hurdles. His main competition will come in the form of 2005 World Outdoor champion Ladji Doucoure (FRA).
There are ten ÅF Golden League event disciplines designated to the Jackpot in 2009, five events for men and five for women, as follows:
Men: 100m, 400m, 3000m/5000m, 110m Hurdles, Javelin Throw.
Women: 100m, 400m, 100m Hurdles, High Jump, Pole Vault.

Track & Field Earns Six All-America Honors, Top-6 Finishes
06/13/2009

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- The Lady Tigers wrapped up the 2009 edition of the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships exactly the way they ended last year’s championship by setting a seasonal best to finish as the NCAA runner-up in the 4x400-meter relay in the last event of the meet Saturday afternoon at John McDonnell Field.
Head coach Dennis Shaver elected to run with a team of sophomore Brittany Hall, junior Kayann Thompson, junior Samantha Henry and junior LaTavia Thomas after the foursome set a seasonal best and NCAA-leading time of 3 minutes, 31.09 seconds in the qualifying round on Thursday.
And they responded with a nearly three-second seasonal best of 3:28.82 to finish runner-up to the foursome from Texas (3:28.51) in the final race of the 2009 season.
Their eight points helped the Lady Tigers earn a sixth-place finish in the final team standings with a total of 29.5 points for the meet. The Texas A&M Aggies took the team title with 50 points.
Each of LSU’s runners in the 4x400 relay recorded seasonal best splits en route to their runner-up finish. Hall led off with a split of 53.40 seconds before handing off to Thompson on the second leg as she carried the stick around the 400-meter oval in 52.32. Henry then ripped off a 51.86 split before Thomas anchored with a lightning-quick split of her own at 51.22.
This comes on the heels of an indoor season in which the Lady Tigers failed to qualify for the 13-team field in the 4x400-meter relay at the NCAA Indoor Championships.
What might be even more impressive is that both Thomas and Hall ran as part of the relay team in the wake of a pair of All-America performances in the 800-meter final earlier in the day, while it was Henry’s 10th race of these championships after also running in Saturday’s 200-meter final.
The final of the 800 meters was the first event of the day for the Lady Tigers as they added a total of nine points to their team score in the race. Thomas crossed the finish line in third place with an eye-popping personal best and the second-fastest time in school history at 2:01.56, while Hall followed in sixth place with a time of 2:04.06 for her first career individual All-America honor.
For Thomas, it marked the fourth time over the past two seasons that she has won an All-America honor in the event, including an NCAA Indoor title and NCAA Outdoor runner-up finish in 2008.
“I was happy to see that 2:01 finally pop up on that board,” Thomas said following the race. “You know I definitely wanted to win and score 10 points for my team, but third place and a PR is good in a meet like this with so many good 800-meter runners. That might be the best event in the meet because there are so many runners with the ability to win the race. I’m proud of both races.
“We just wanted to run our best on the relay. I don’t think many people thought we could run that fast with so many things going against us, but we just fought hard all the way to the end.”
Henry also enjoyed an outstanding four days of competition at the NCAA Championships with an impressive three All-America honors while running a total of 10 races for the week. After placing eighth in the 100-meter final on Friday night, Henry returned to the track on Saturday for the final of the 200-meter dash and posted a sixth-place finish while running 23.07 into a strong headwind.
In fact, Henry is now a nine-time All-American during her collegiate career as she also received a pair of honors in the 60 meters and 200 meters at the NCAA Indoor Championships in March.
“The tremendous growth that our women’s team has shown from the indoor season is remarkable, and I’m proud of every single one of our ladies for the way they competed this week,” Shaver said. “We lost nine seniors from the team that won a national championship at Drake last season, and we really weren’t that far out of it this year. I’m proud of them for that.
“That speaks volumes of the character of this team and the women we have who came to the meet to get something done. That is very satisfying to me as a coach to see that kind of effort.”
While the Lady Tigers earned a sixth-place finish in the final women’s standings, the Tigers had a great meet of their own with 37 points to finish fifth in the final men’s team standings. Texas A&M pulled off the sweep as the Aggies also took the men’s team championship with 48 points.
Junior Richard Jones led the charge in the final day as he followed his All-American performance in the 800 meters by running a leg on the Tigers’ 4x400 relay that also reach All-America status.
For the third day in a row, Jones recorded a new personal best in the 800-meter run as he earned a fifth-place finish in Saturday’s final by running a time of 1:47.10 in his debut at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Jones is now the sixth-fastest 800-meter runner in program history as he also set personal bests of 1:47.62 in the first round and 1:47.27 in the second round of qualifying.
Like Thomas and Hall before him, Jones returned to the track just an hour after running the 800-meter final to run a leg on LSU’s 4x400 relay in place of the injured Robert Simmons, who pulled up on the backstretch with a leg injury while running in Saturday’s final of the 400-meter dash.
Jones responded with a blistering split of 45.70 on the third leg as he teamed with Armanti Hayes (46.19), Jamar Howard (45.47) and Ade Alleyne-Forte (46.44) for a seasonal best of 3:03.81.
The foursome earned All-America honors for the second time this season with a sixth-place finish on Saturday after also finishing in sixth place at the NCAA Indoor Championships in March.
Freshman Barrett Nugent also ran in his first career NCAA final in his first ever appearance at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships during Saturday’s action, earning a ninth-place finish in the final of the 110-meter hurdles with a time of 14.01 into a strong headwind.
“We would have liked to finish a little bit better on the men’s side today, but you hate to see what happened to Robert in a race like that,” Shaver said. “I really thought he was going to get in there and score us a couple of points based on the way he’s been running and progressing all during the outdoor season. And he still had a great outdoor season for us in his first college season.
“I also think Barrett had a great outdoor season and a great NCAA Championship in his first ever time competing at this level. To make the final in his first NCAA experience says a lot about how far he has come his first season in our program. He has a bright future here at LSU.”
LSU wrapped up the 2009 season with an outstanding weekend at the NCAA Championships as a total of 15 Tigers and Lady Tigers earned All-America honors in four days of competition.
Senior Trindon Holliday led the way by winning his first career NCAA title in the 100-meter dash on Friday night, while also anchored the Tigers to an NCAA runner-up finish in the 4x100-meter relay. Sophomore Walter Henning just missed winning a title of his own by finishing runner-up in the men’s hammer throw, while the Lady Tigers were the NCAA runner-up in the 4x400 relay.
The Tigers and Lady Tigers will return to Baton Rouge on Sunday as many athletes will now turn their attention to making their respective national teams as the 2009 IAAF World Championships in Athletics is scheduled to run in Berlin, Germany, from Aug. 15-23.

In fact, Henry is now a nine-time All-American during her collegiate career as she also received a pair of honors in the 60 meters and 200 meters at the NCAA Indoor Championships in March.
“The tremendous growth that our women’s team has shown from the indoor season is remarkable, and I’m proud of every single one of our ladies for the way they competed this week,” Shaver said. “We lost nine seniors from the team that won a national championship at Drake last season, and we really weren’t that far out of it this year. I’m proud of them for that.
“That speaks volumes of the character of this team and the women we have who came to the meet to get something done. That is very satisfying to me as a coach to see that kind of effort.”
While the Lady Tigers earned a sixth-place finish in the final women’s standings, the Tigers had a great meet of their own with 37 points to finish fifth in the final men’s team standings. Texas A&M pulled off the sweep as the Aggies also took the men’s team championship with 48 points.
Junior Richard Jones led the charge in the final day as he followed his All-American performance in the 800 meters by running a leg on the Tigers’ 4x400 relay that also reach All-America status.
For the third day in a row, Jones recorded a new personal best in the 800-meter run as he earned a fifth-place finish in Saturday’s final by running a time of 1:47.10 in his debut at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Jones is now the sixth-fastest 800-meter runner in program history as he also set personal bests of 1:47.62 in the first round and 1:47.27 in the second round of qualifying.
Like Thomas and Hall before him, Jones returned to the track just an hour after running the 800-meter final to run a leg on LSU’s 4x400 relay in place of the injured Robert Simmons, who pulled up on the backstretch with a leg injury while running in Saturday’s final of the 400-meter dash.
Jones responded with a blistering split of 45.70 on the third leg as he teamed with Armanti Hayes (46.19), Jamar Howard (45.47) and Ade Alleyne-Forte (46.44) for a seasonal best of 3:03.81.
The foursome earned All-America honors for the second time this season with a sixth-place finish on Saturday after also finishing in sixth place at the NCAA Indoor Championships in March.
Freshman Barrett Nugent also ran in his first career NCAA final in his first ever appearance at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships during Saturday’s action, earning a ninth-place finish in the final of the 110-meter hurdles with a time of 14.01 into a strong headwind.
“We would have liked to finish a little bit better on the men’s side today, but you hate to see what happened to Robert in a race like that,” Shaver said. “I really thought he was going to get in there and score us a couple of points based on the way he’s been running and progressing all during the outdoor season. And he still had a great outdoor season for us in his first college season.
“I also think Barrett had a great outdoor season and a great NCAA Championship in his first ever time competing at this level. To make the final in his first NCAA experience says a lot about how far he has come his first season in our program. He has a bright future here at LSU.”
LSU wrapped up the 2009 season with an outstanding weekend at the NCAA Championships as a total of 15 Tigers and Lady Tigers earned All-America honors in four days of competition.
Senior Trindon Holliday led the way by winning his first career NCAA title in the 100-meter dash on Friday night, while also anchored the Tigers to an NCAA runner-up finish in the 4x100-meter relay. Sophomore Walter Henning just missed winning a title of his own by finishing runner-up in the men’s hammer throw, while the Lady Tigers were the NCAA runner-up in the 4x400 relay.
The Tigers and Lady Tigers will return to Baton Rouge on Sunday as many athletes will now turn their attention to making their respective national teams as the 2009 IAAF World Championships in Athletics is scheduled to run in Berlin, Germany, from Aug. 15-23.

Lemmon Takes Second at Nationals
by Zack Warren, BYU Athletic Communications
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (June 11, 2009)- BYU junior, Cecily Lemmon, earned All-America honors in the 10,000-meter event on Thursday at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in Fayetteville, Ark.
“Cecily is one tough competitor and I’m incredibly impressed with what she did,” said BYU women’s distance coach Patrick Shane. “Midseason I told her she could win this race and she was right there tonight. She is a very hard worker and will only get better.“
Lemmon’s second place time of 33:39.97, earned BYU its first points of the meet. The Vacaville, Calif. native finished second only to eventual National Champion Danette Doetzel of Providence, who recorded a time of 33:25.71.
“I’m really excited,” Lemmon said. “I had prepared well and was excited to compete on a bigger stage. Coach and I talked about it before the race and we were confident that I could finish in the top four, but to come in second is just an amazing experience.“
Lemmon held her own in the lead pack for the entire race and made a strong kick with 800-meters to go, moving her from fifth to second.
Lemmon helped propel the Cougars into a tie for fourth-place in the overall standings heading into Friday’s competition. Rounding out the top seven are Florida (13 points), Florida St. (12), Providence (10), BYU (8), San Diego St. (8), Arizona St. (8) and Oregon (8).
Another top performance came from 800-meter Indoor National Champion Lacey Cramer. Cramer ran a solid 2:05.33, in the first round and came back a day later with an even more impressive semifinal performance of 2:03.41.
Five of the same athletes Cramer beat for her indoor title will be competing against the freshman sensation again for Saturday’s Championship. The former Lone Peak High School standout will be in a field that boasts four National Champions including her own Championship title.
BYU’s other Indoor National Champion, Amy Menlove, heads into Friday’s final events of the heptathalon with four events completed. Menlove took fifth in the 100-meter hurdles in a time of 13.54 and will look to gain ground on the competition in her long jump event where she has previously earned All-America honors.
Menlove will begin the long jump at 1:45 p.m. CT. Freshman high jumper Ada Robinson will also be in action on Friday starting at 4:00 p.m. CT.

Record Setting Barringer Leads List of Division I Regional Winners
NEW ORLEANS – Colorado’s Jenny Barringer leads an impressive group of regional award winners as the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association announced the 2009 Division I Men’s and Women’s Regional Athletes and Coaches of the Year on Monday afternoon.
Barringer shattered the women’s 1500 meter all-time collegiate-best record by running an astounding 3:59.90 at the Prefontaine Classic. The mark was her third outdoor collegiate record this season. Her 1500 meter performance broke the previous record by more than six seconds and placed Barringer in elite company as she became just the fourth female in U.S. history to break the four-minute barrier in the event.
Barringer’s two other collegiate records are in the 3,000 meter steeplechase (9:26.20) and the 5,000 meters (15:07.64). Though she owns the top time in all three events, she will focus on the steeple, an event she won at last year’s NCAA Outdoor Championships and in which she holds the American record.
In honor of her accomplishments this season, Barringer has been named the Mountain Region Women’s Track Athlete of the Year.
The USTFCCCA honors the top track and field athletes along with the top head coaches and assistant coaches in nine Division I regions. A total of 73 men’s and women’s student-athletes and coaches were recognized this year.

News and Notes, Volume 9, Number 29
This past weekend was as big weekend for high school track and field. Here are some of the highlights.
Richardson wins second-straight team title at Texas State Champs
For the second year in a row, Bonnie Richardson was a one-girl show. Richardson won the Class 1A girls team state title by herself for the second consecutive year by single-handedly beating 56 other schools Saturday at the 2009 Texas 1A Track and Field Championships in Austin, Texas. She took top-three in four out of five events, including first in the long jump (5.29m/17-4.5) and high jump (1.72m/5-8), second in the discus (38.63m/126-9) and third in the 200 meters (25.78). She also finished fourth in the 100m (12.51).
Wyatt eclipses U.S. national high school record in the 300m Hurdles
La Sierra (Calif.) High School senior Reggie Wyatt set a national high school record in the boys' 300-meter hurdles in winning his semi-final heat in 35.02 seconds Friday at the 2009 California State high school championships, held at Buchanan High in Clovis, Calif. The previous record of 35.28 set by 2008 World Junior 400m Hurdles champion Jeshua Anderson. On Saturday in the final, Wyatt won the 400m in 46.13 and came back to win the 300mH in 36.71, leading La Sierra to a four-way tie for the team title.
Hasay does it again
On Saturday night at the CIF State Track and Field Championships, 2008 USATF Youth Athlete of the Year Jordan Hasay became the first four-time winner in the girls 3,200m. She cruised to the win in 10:05.29 and had more than a 100-meter lead, as Rancho Bernardo's Molly Grabill was second in 10:23.75. Hasay's performance was the best time in the nation this year by 7 seconds. Her next race will be in the 1,500m at the 2009 USA Outdoor Track & Field Championships.
Beach breaks 37-year-old deca mark
Using international implements, Curtis Beach broke the boy's decathlon national high school record, winning with 7,466 points Friday at the Great Southwest Track & Field Classic in Albuquerque, N.M. The previous record of 7,359 was set by Craig Brigham in 1972. Using high school implements, he scored 7,719 points, just short of the record 7,909 points he set in April in Arcadia, Calif. Rather than the customary 10 events, the Duke University-bound Beach competed in 13 events. He ran the 110-meter hurdles twice and competed in the shot put and discus events two times each to account for the different standards.

Using international implements, Curtis Beach broke the boy's decathlon national high school record, winning with 7,466 points Friday at the Great Southwest Track & Field Classic in Albuquerque, N.M. The previous record of 7,359 was set by Craig Brigham in 1972. Using high school implements, he scored 7,719 points, just short of the record 7,909 points he set in April in Arcadia, Calif. Rather than the customary 10 events, the Duke University-bound Beach competed in 13 events. He ran the 110-meter hurdles twice and competed in the shot put and discus events two times each to account for the different standards.

Phillips, Barringer join all-time greats at 2009 Nike Prefontaine Classic
Phillips, Barringer join all-time greats at 2009 Nike Prefontaine Classic
EUGENE, Ore. - Two-time World Outdoor champion Dwight Phillips and U.S. women's 3,000m steeplechase record holder Jennifer Barringer posted landmark performances Sunday at the 2009 Nike Prefontaine Classic at historic Hayward Field on the campus of the University of Oregon in Eugene.
The Nike Prefontaine Classic is the fifth event of the USA Track & Field Outdoor Visa Championship Series, which will conclude at the USA Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Eugene, June 25-28.
Dwight is right!
2004 Olympic gold medalist Dwight Phillips leaped back on the world stage in posting the longest jump in the world since National Track & Field Hall of Famer Mike Powell set the world record in 1991.
Phillips easily won the event when he sailed to 8.74 meters/28 feet 8.25 inches, which ties him with Larry Myricks and Erick Walder for the eighth-best outdoor mark in history, and the trio are also tied as the #5 performers all time. For his effort, Phillips was named the Team USA Athlete of the Meet presented by Visa.
"Last week I knew I was jumping far and I was looking at the world record," said Phillips. "I knew I was capable of jumping this far. I'm looking forward to the rest of the season. I'm hungry. I'm excited about the sport again."
With his performance, Phillips takes over the lead from Tyson Gay in the men's Visa Championship Series race with his total of 1,290 points. Gay's sits in second place with 1,285 points.
Barringer joins America's best at 1,500 meters
Ethiopia's Gelete Burka was in command throughout the Nike women's 1,500m until the final straightaway when U.S. women's steeplechase record holder Jenny Barringer put on a furious kick and the two were even at the finish line. Burka just barely defended her Pre Classic title from last year with her time of 3 minutes 59.89 seconds, as Barringer joined Mary Slaney and Suzy Favor as the third American in history to better the four-minute barrier with her time of 3:59.90.
Barringer's performance is the best by an American in seven years, the third-fastest women's 1,500m in the world this year and it betters the previous collegiate record of 4:05.75 by Lindsay Gallo set in 2005.
Merritt sets sea level world's best in 300m
2008 Olympic 400m and 4x400m relay gold medalist LaShawn Merritt was dominant in the men's 300 meters posting the #2 all-time mark and a sea level world best with his winning time of 31.30 seconds. 2006 NCAA 400m champion Xavier Carter was the runner-up in 31.93, with 2004 Olympian Wallace Spearmon finishing third in 32.14.
Richards posts world leader
It was no contest in the women's 400 meters as 2008 Olympic 400m bronze medalist and 4x400m relay gold medalist Sanya Richards showed no mercy to her competitors. Richards left the blocks in a hurry and was never challenged in winning the Nutrilite women's 400m in the fastest time in the world this year of 49.86 seconds.
Richards, who has been ranked #1 in the world at 400m the last four years, finished ahead of Olympic silver medalist Shericka Williams of Jamaica, who crossed the line as the runner-up in 50.72 seconds.
Symmonds pleases the home fans
2008 Olympian and Eugene area resident Nick Symmonds, who won one of the most memorable races in Hayward Field history with his unforgettable victory at last year's Olympic Trials, was victorious again today in the Nike men's 800m. Symmonds grabbed the lead off the final curve and held on for the win in 1:45.86. The runner-up was Beijing Olympic bronze medalist Alfred Yego of Kenya, who crossed the line in 1:46.36, and Oregon Track Club member Christian Smith, who joined Symmonds on the U.S. Beijing Olympic Team, finished third in 1:46.36.
Reigning men's 1,500m and 5,000m world champion Bernard Lagat passed Qatar's Saif Shaheen with 60 meters to go and won going away in the men's 3,000m in 7:35.92. Shaheen was the runner-up in 7:36.87, with Americans Chris Solinsky and Matt Tegenkamp finishing third and fourth respectively, with times of 7:37.05 and 7:37.32.
Perry & Cherry at the finish
Two-time World Outdoor champion Michelle Perry and 2008 Olympic Games fourth-place finisher Damu Cherry sailed across the finish line together in the women's 100m hurdles. Although both were clocked in 12.74, it was Perry who was named the victor with Cherry claiming the runner-up spot. Canada's Olympic bronze medalist Priscilla Lopes-Schliep was third, just one hundredth of a second behind the Americans.
"Batman" beats the world's best
The three Americans who swept the medals in the men's 400m hurdles at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing met again this morning in Eugene. Bershawn 'Batman' Jackson, who won the bronze medal in Beijing, got off to a quick start before clipping the second hurdle. Jackson, who also won last week at the Reebok Grand Prix in New York, recovered quickly and held the lead with 80 meters to go along with Beijing gold medalist Angelo Taylor, silver medalist Kerron Clement and
Jamaica's Isa Phillips. Jackson won the race to the finish line in posting the second-fastest time in the world this year of 43.38 seconds, which he shares with Clement. Phillips was second in 48.55, with Clement third in 48.73 and Taylor placing fourth in 48.79.
Rodgers sets world best in 100m
2008 USA Indoor 60m champion Michael Rodgers, who won last weekend at the Reebok Grand Prix in New York, was victorious again today in the men's 100m posting a new career best and the fastest time in the world this year of 9.94 seconds. Rodgers defeated former world record holder and Olympic relay gold medalist Asafa Powell of Jamaica, who finished second in 10.07 seconds. Two-time Olympic sprint medalist Walter Dix also ran 10.07 in finishing in third place, with
2008 Olympic Trials fourth-place finisher Travis Padgett placing fourth in 10.08.
After winning last week at the Reebok Grand Prix, Carmelita Jeter continued her winning ways with her victory in the Visa women's 100m. With a +3.2 mps wind at her back, Jeter sailed across the finish line first in 10.85 seconds and remains undefeated this outdoor season. Jamaican Kerron Stewart, who captured the 100m silver medal and 200m bronze medal in Beijing, was the runner-up in 10.90 in suffering her first loss this outdoor season and Olympic Trials champion Muna Lee finished third in 11.02. Jeter holds on to the lead in the women's Visa Championship Series chase with 1,207 points, which is one point better than Sanya Richards.
13 competitors break 4-minutes in Bowerman Mile
2008 Olympic silver medalist Asbel Kiprop of Kenya won the classic Bowerman Mile in 3:48.50, which is the fastest time in the world this year, bettering the previous fastest time this season by nearly six seconds. Kiprop's countryman, Haron Keitany, who ended the 2008 season ranked #1 in the world, was the runner-up in 3:48.78. 2008 Olympian Lopez Lomong led the American contingent with his sixth-place finish in 3:53.47. 13 runners bettered the 4-minute barrier, which equals the Hayward Field record for a single race.
Hoffa leads throwers with world best
2007 World Outdoor champion Reese Hoffa won the Visa men's shot put in posting the farthest throw in the world this year on his final attempt that sailed 21.89 meters/71 feet 10 inches. 2008 Olympic Trials fourth-place finisher Dan Taylor finished second with a toss of 21.29m/69-10.25 and reigning Olympic champion Tomasz Majewski of Poland finished third with a best of 21.26m/69-9.
Stephanie Brown Trafton, who won the 2008 Olympic gold medal in the women's discus on her first throw, did it again with a first attempt winning toss of 63.98m/209-11. 2008 Olympic Trials sixth-place finisher Summer Pierson was second with a toss of 60.53m/198-7.
2008 Olympian Funmi Jimoh, who finished at the Olympic Games in Beijing, won the women's long jump with a best of 6.69m/21-11.50.
In other events, Kenya's Paul Koech won the men's 3,000m steeplechase in 8:13.44, Germany's Betty Heidler won the women's hammer (72.81m/238-10), Ivan Ukhov of Russia won the men's high jump (2.34m/7-8) and Sweden's Alhaji Jeng won the men's pole vault with a best clearance of 5.51m/18-1.

Florida State Women Hold Narrow Lead in Terry Crawford Program of the Year Standings

Florida State Women Hold Narrow Lead in Terry Crawford Program of the Year Standings
NEW ORLEANS – The Florida State women would like to finish the 2009 track and field season with a National Championship next week in Fayetteville, Ark. Should they complete their task, the Seminoles would add another trophy to their collection – the NCAA Division I Terry Crawford Program of the Year Award.
The award, which is given annually by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association, honors the institution that has achieved the most success in each academic year (spanning the cross country, indoor track & field, and outdoor track & field seasons) based on the institution’s finish at the NCAA Division I Championships.
In order to be eligible for the award, teams must qualify for the NCAA Championships. Scoring is based on the team’s finish at each NCAA Division I Championship in cross country, indoor track & field, and outdoor track & field (i.e. 1st = 1 point, 2nd = 2 points, 31st = 31 points) with the lowest total score for all three championships combined determining the award recipient.
Florida State has had back-to-back top-ten championship finishes in cross country (3rd) and indoor track & field (8th), earning the Seminoles 11 points in the program of the year standings.
Close on the heels of FSU is Oregon with 11.5 points in the standings after finishing second overall in the team standings at the Cross Country National Championship and ninth overall at the Indoor Track & Field National Championship.
Texas Tech follows Oregon in third with 16.5 points after top-ten championships finishes in cross country (7th) and indoor track & field (9th). Fourth in the standings is Arizona State with 19 points, followed by Stanford with 22.5 points.
Minnesota sits in sixth place with 26 points, Michigan in seventh with 27 points, and Florida in eighth with 31.5 points. Arkansas is ninth with 35.5 points, followed by Illinois and Villanova (tied for tenth) with 37.5 points.
The Terry Crawford Program of the Year Award is named after USTFCCCA Hall of Famer and current Cal Poly head coach Terry Crawford. Crawford has won five NCAA National Championships, and over 20 Conference Championships. Her 1986 Texas squad remains as the only NCAA women’s program to ever win the Triple Crown (cross country, indoor track and field, and outdoor track and field titles).

Florida State Women Hold Narrow Lead in Terry Crawford Program of the Year Standings
NEW ORLEANS – The Florida State women would like to finish the 2009 track and field season with a National Championship next week in Fayetteville, Ark. Should they complete their task, the Seminoles would add another trophy to their collection – the NCAA Division I Terry Crawford Program of the Year Award.
The award, which is given annually by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association, honors the institution that has achieved the most success in each academic year (spanning the cross country, indoor track & field, and outdoor track & field seasons) based on the institution’s finish at the NCAA Division I Championships.
In order to be eligible for the award, teams must qualify for the NCAA Championships. Scoring is based on the team’s finish at each NCAA Division I Championship in cross country, indoor track & field, and outdoor track & field (i.e. 1st = 1 point, 2nd = 2 points, 31st = 31 points) with the lowest total score for all three championships combined determining the award recipient.
Florida State has had back-to-back top-ten championship finishes in cross country (3rd) and indoor track & field (8th), earning the Seminoles 11 points in the program of the year standings.
Close on the heels of FSU is Oregon with 11.5 points in the standings after finishing second overall in the team standings at the Cross Country National Championship and ninth overall at the Indoor Track & Field National Championship.
Texas Tech follows Oregon in third with 16.5 points after top-ten championships finishes in cross country (7th) and indoor track & field (9th). Fourth in the standings is Arizona State with 19 points, followed by Stanford with 22.5 points.
Minnesota sits in sixth place with 26 points, Michigan in seventh with 27 points, and Florida in eighth with 31.5 points. Arkansas is ninth with 35.5 points, followed by Illinois and Villanova (tied for tenth) with 37.5 points.
The Terry Crawford Program of the Year Award is named after USTFCCCA Hall of Famer and current Cal Poly head coach Terry Crawford. Crawford has won five NCAA National Championships, and over 20 Conference Championships. Her 1986 Texas squad remains as the only NCAA women’s program to ever win the Triple Crown (cross country, indoor track and field, and outdoor track and field titles).

Oregon Men Lead the John McDonnell Program of the Year Standings
June 4, 2009
Oregon Men Lead the John McDonnell Program of the Year Standings
NEW ORLEANS – The Oregon men have a lot to be happy about this year and plenty of hardware to show for it. The Ducks have won the cross country Pac-10 title, the cross country NCAA title, the indoor NCAA title, and the outdoor Pac-10 title. Winning both the cross country and indoor track and field National Championships has put the Ducks in a great position heading into the final event to determine the winner of the inaugural NCAA Division I John McDonnell Program of the Year Award given by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association.
The NCAA Division I John McDonnell Program of the Year Award is awarded annually to the most outstanding NCAA Division I men’s cross country/track & field program. The award honors the institution that has achieved the most success in each academic year (spanning the cross country, indoor track & field, and outdoor track & field seasons) based on the institution’s finish at the NCAA Division I Championships.
In order to be eligible for the award, teams must qualify for the NCAA Championships. Scoring is based on the team’s finish at each NCAA Division I Championship in cross country, indoor track & field, and outdoor track & field (i.e. 1st = 1 point, 2nd = 2 points, 31st = 31 points) with the lowest total score for all three championships combined determining the award recipient.
Oregon has earned two points towards the award standings (one point apiece for each championship title) giving the Ducks a sizeable margin over Stanford in the standings. The Cardinal earned 14 points by virtue of a third place and 11th place finish in the cross country and indoor track & field National Championships. That means Oregon will need a finish of 12th place or better at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in order to clinch the John McDonnell Program of the Year Award.
Florida State and Minnesota are tied for third place with 29.5 points each followed by California and Wisconsin who are tied for fifth place in the standings with 34 points each. Arkansas, Texas A&M, Providence, and Auburn round out the top ten in the NCAA Division I John McDonnell Program of the Year standings.
The John McDonnell Program of the Year Award is named after USTFCCCA Hall of Famer and former Arkansas head coach John McDonnell. McDonnell’s Arkansas teams won a combined 40 National Championships and finished in the top ten in cross country, indoor and outdoor track & field in 24 of his 36 seasons in Fayetteville. Five of his teams won the NCAA Triple Crown.
