Mack, Hall Win USA Cross Country Crowns in St. Louis
Lowry, Osika Junior champions; Christian Cushing-Murray, Zieger Masters titlists

By Jim Estes, USATF

ST. LOUIS - (February 11, 2012) - Sara Hall (Flagstaff, Ariz.) and Bobby Mack (Raleigh, N.C.) each used late charges to outrun the competition as each won their first career USA Cross Country crowns Saturday at Forest Park in St. Louis.

The national turf championships consisted of six races for men's and women's categories, with national titles on the line for Junior (19 and under), Masters (40 and older) and Open divisions. The nation's premier cross country event featured $35,000 in prize money.

The Senior women's 8K saw pre-race favorite Molly Huddle (Providence, R.I.) take command of the lead pack that included Hall, five-time USA Cross Country team member Renee Metivier Baillie (Bend, Ore.), Liz Costello (Knoxville, Tenn.) and Laura Thweatt (Boulder, Colo.).

After 3K, Huddle held a one-step advantage over Hall, with Costello close behind. Over the final 2K loop, Huddle looked to be in charge but could never pull completely clear of Hall. Charging down the home straight, Hall, 28, made one final rally to edge Huddle at the line in a photo finish. Hall and Huddle were both timed in 26 minutes, 51 seconds. Costello held on to finish third in 27:18.

"It was hard to kick in the last 300 meters like I normally would. I was having trouble on the muddier parts of the course. It's an honor to be able to run longer distances this season, and I hope that it's a good sign and that it will bode well for the rest of the year," Hall said.

SENIOR MEN
In the final race of the day, Mack ran patiently behind Aaron Braun (Flagstaff, Ariz.) as they led over the 12K course a pack that included Josh Simpson (Morgantown, W.V.), Chris Rombough (St. Paul, Minn.) and Jeff Schirmer (Carbondale, Ill.).

Over the last kilometer, Mack, 27, made his move on the final hill on the course, pulling away to run 35:42 for a ten second win over Braun. Simpson took third in 36:04.

"I was feeling pretty smooth going over the last hill. I started to get the feel of the race over the last two loops. I wanted to make sure I had enough to finish strong. I was feeling confident in my finish at the end. I enjoy competing on a cross country course like this that is rolling unlike a golf course. I felt real comfortable today. I'd like to think that I'm versatile enough on the track and the roads to compete at this level," Mack stated.

JUNIOR WOMEN
The Junior women's 6K was the first of the day to determine the Team USA spots for NACAC, and University of Michigan freshman Shannon Osika waited patiently among a group of runners to earn her first national title, winning the race in a time of 21:05, while Margaret Drazba (St. Mary's, W.V.) was runner-up in 21:08 and Macy Bricks (Clovis, Calif.) took third in 21:11.

JUNIOR MEN
In the Junior men's 8K, Syracuse University freshman Jace Lowry (Paragon, Ind.) used the same strategy as Osika as he waited until the final hill with a group of five runners to attack and take home the victory, winning in a time of 24:55, three seconds up on the University of Minnesota duo of Adam Zutz (St. Francis, Minn.) and Aaron Bartnik (Eden Prairie, Minn.), who ran 24:58.

In addition to the national titles on the line in St. Louis, Open and Junior men and women also qualified to represent Team USA at the North American, Central American, Caribbean (NACAC) Cross Country Championships March 17 in Port of Spain, Trinidad.

MASTERS CHAMPIONSHIPS
National titles were also decided for Masters men and women at 8K in five-year age groups beginning at age 40 to 44.

The first championship race of the day saw Joanna Zieger, 41, (Boulder, Colo.) take the overall Masters women's title, running 30:05 for a 16-second win over Jody Hawkins, 45, (Blooming Grove, Texas).

The overall Masters men's title went to Christian Cushing-Murray, 44, (Santa Ana, Calif.) as he ran 26:09 for a three-second win over Rusty Snow, 42, (Santa Barbara, Calif.).

The top age-graded Masters runners were Kevin Miller, 50, (Olathe, Kan.) and Kathryn Martin, 60, (Northport, N.Y.) who ran 26:54 (age-grade 90.13%) and 33:44 (age-grade 92.25%) respectively.

Professional Field Announced for 2012 Boston Marathon

Top international field, including defending champions Mutai and Kilel, expected at 116th running of storied 26.2 mile road race; 2012 marks 27th year of John Hancock's landmark sponsorship of event and 150th anniversary of company's founding

BOSTON - (February 9, 2012) - In its 27th year as principal sponsor of the Boston Marathon, John Hancock Financial has announced the professional field for the 116th running of the Boston Marathon on Monday, April 16.

Reigning champions Geoffrey Mutai and Caroline Kilel will defend their titles, but will be challenged by the fastest men's and women's fields ever assembled for the Boston Marathon. With 31 contenders setting their personal best time in the past two years, including eight men under 2:07 and ten women under 2:24, the race will prove highly competitive.

Last year, Mutai ran an unmatched 2 hour, 3 minute, 2 second World Best on Boston's certified course, without the aid of pacesetters, and then followed that accomplishment with a course record win in New York City. Mutai is now the fastest marathoner in history, and the only man to ever set course records at Boston and New York in the same year.

Top contenders challenging Mutai include last year's third place finisher and 2010 ING New York City champion Gebre Gebremariam, 2010 Boston champion Robert Kiprono Cheruiyot, 2011 Amsterdam and Rotterdam winner Wilson Chebet, and 2011 Chicago second and third place finishers Wesley Korir and Bernard Kipyego.

Young talent clipping their heels include 2011 Fukuoka champion Josphat Ndambiri, 2:05 marathoner Levy Matebo, 2011 Amsterdam runner-up Laban Korir, 2012 Xiamen winner Peter Kamais, 2011 Dubai champion David Barmasai, and half-marathon specialist Mathew Kisorio.

Americans Antonio Vega and Jason Hartmann, Kenyans Frankline Chepkwony and Dickson Chumba, and Netherlander Michel Butter are also in the pro field.

On the women's side, the historic race in Boston has been decided over the past four years by three seconds or less. Last year Caroline Kilel turned in another close race as she traded the lead with American Desiree Davila (HILLTOP HS, CHULA VISTA 2001; ARIZONA 2005)several times down the finishing stretch of Boylston Street. Kilel ultimately triumphed by two seconds over Davila for the 2:22:36 win, before collapsing in exhaustion.

Chasing Kilel are fellow Kenyans Sharon Cherop and Caroline Rotich. Cherop and Rotich ran with Kilel through the final miles last year in Boston before finishing third and fourth respectively. They eagerly await the rematch.

A strong Ethiopian contingent will also seek the crown. Last year's New York City winner Firehiwot Dado and runner-up Buzunesh Deba team up again and joining the pair is Aselefech Mergia, the Dubai winner and newly crowned 2:19:31 national record holder. Also in the mix will be the talented Mamitu Daska, who won Frankfurt last year, setting a new course record.

The Boston-New York and Kenyan-Ethiopian rivalries should prove exciting, but working to break up the leaders will be a top Russian team: Galina Bogomolova, Alevtina Biktimirova, Nadezdha Leonteva and 2010 Boston runner-up Tatyana Pushkareva will work together to return the coveted title to Russia.

Additional talent includes 2006 Boston Marathon champion Rita Jeptoo, Ashu Kasim, Agnes Kiprop, Georgina Rono, Diana Sigei and Genet Getaneh.

"For 27 years, John Hancock, as principal sponsor, has honored its commitment to bring the world's top runners to the historic Boston Marathon to ensure that it remains among the world's most premier sporting events," said Rob Friedman, head of Sponsorship and Event Marketing at John Hancock. "In celebration of our 150th anniversary as a company, this year's field is faster and more competitive than ever before. We know these talented runners will provide the millions of fans around the world with another spectacular race, and we are counting down the days to April 16th."

"One of the cornerstones of any top marathon in the world is the elite field. Through the superb collaborative efforts with our long-standing partner, John Hancock, and its recruitment excellence over the past 27 years, the Boston Marathon has continued to thrive on fast times and a true competitive nature," said Tom Grilk, B.A.A. Executive Director. "John Hancock's sponsorship of our elite runners in this year's event will no doubt once again inspire all those associated with the race. It is a model partnership that works extraordinarily well for everyone."

Floridians Neilson, Crate Victorious at Rock 'n' Roll St. Pete Half Marathon

Two-time Olympic Softball gold medalist Michele Smith completes inaugural event; chart topping headliner Flo Rida provides 'Good Feeling' for runners

By Dan Cruz, Competitor Group

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - (February 12, 2012) - A brisk morning turned into a hot nightclub dance floor as more than 8,000 runners were left with nothing but Good Feeling on Sunday as internationally acclaimed hip-hop artist Flo Rida delivered #1 hit after #1 hit for a rocking post-race concert at the inaugural Rock 'n' Roll St. Pete Half Marathon.

A pair of 26-year-old Floridians took home first prize on the flat, scenic course that featured several St. Petersburg landmarks including the Dali Museum, Mahaffey Theater, St. Pete Pier, Renaissance Vinoy Resort and North Shores Park. Paul Nielson of Orlando took the lead at mile 1 and never looked back to break the finish tape in 1 hour, 8 minutes and 58 seconds.

"The first three miles were cold, but I warmed up pretty nice," said Neilson, who took home $1500 in first-place prize money. "It was a great event and very organized. My goal was to run under 1:09. I wasn't expecting to win, but I'll take it. I've only been to St. Pete a couple times and this was a great way to see the city."

Satellite Beach resident Jessica Crate pulled away from two-time Los Angeles Marathon champion Lyubov Denisov, 40, of Russia at mile 5 to win the women's race in 1:19:05, setting a new personal record.

"We ran together for the first four miles, and then I broke away and just tried to maintain that pace throughout the whole way," said Crate, who won the Gasparilla Half Marathon last year. "It was an amazing race, the energy and bands were awesome. Mile eight was when it started to get tough and there was a band out there, I don't know who they are, but they were loud and crazy and awesome."

Softball Olympian Michele Smith, a two-time Olympic gold medalist with Team USA, completed the 13.1-mile course in 1:50:25. The St. Petersburg resident is a 7-time Japanese Pro League Champion & MVP, and member of the ASA Softball Hall of Fame.

As the sunshine began to warm things up at 10:00am, the post-race celebration was well underway as the artist with the hottest single on the radio took the main stage to the cheers of thousands of runners and arm-waving spectators. After opening with several of his chart-topping hits, Flo Rida welcomed dozens of runners' onstage wearing medals, race bibs and mylar blankets to dance to his smash hit Low.

His performance concluded with the #1 pop song in the country, Good Feeling, which he dedicated to the "late, great" Whitney Houston. Ever the showman, Flo Rida gave away his shirt, shoes and his gold chain, departing straight from the performance to attend the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday night.

"Flo Rida was one of the all-time great post-race concerts in the history of the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon Series," said Scott Dickey, President of Competitor Group, organizer of the event. "Rock 'n' Roll brought the runners, but St. Pete delivered a fantastic experience at an incredible venue along the waterfront. To have a Grammy-nominated artist play to the crowd with such energy was unforgettable and his performance has certainly heightened anticipation of this event for years to come."

The 2nd Rock 'n' Roll St. Pete Half Marathon is scheduled for Sunday, February 10, 2013.

MCM presents Healthy School Award to Lynbrook Elementary on Feb. 8; school a recipient for 12 consecutive years

QUANTICO, Va. - (Feb. 8, 2012) - Five hundred students of Lynbrook Elementary in Fairfax, Virginia gathered on Wednesday, Feb. 8 to receive the Healthy School Award from the Marine Corps Marathon (MCM) and its partner Sodexo. The award assembly was held at 1:45pm in the school gym located at 5801 Backlick Road in Springfield.

For 12 consecutive years, Lynbrook Elementary has received the Healthy School Award for having the largest number of students in the Healthy Kids Fun Run, making it the leader among participating schools. In 2011, Lynbrook registered 300 for the one-mile fun run that was held on Oct. 29 in Arlington, VA.

"Since the Healthy Kids Fun Ran began, the teachers and parents of Lynbrook Elementary have taken an active role motivating their students to participate and serving as a model for other schools that also benefit from the Healthy School Award program," says Angela Huff, MCM Deputy Director.

As part of the Healthy School Award, Lynbrook Elementary will receive $1000 and each student will receive healthy snacks from MCM sponsor Sodexo. Also in conjunction with the award assembly, the National Children's Museum's "Museum Without Walls" team will feature programming focusing on physical fitness and activity for the students during the school day.

MCM Director Rick Nealis and Miles the bulldog mascot presented the Healthy School Award to Lynbrook administrators and teachers, while U.S. Marines from Marine Corps Base Quantico performed PT exercises with the students. Traditionally, Lynbrook also added their own pageantry to the ceremony by raising a championship banner to the school gym rafters.

Lynbrook Elementary is one of five Northern Virginia schools to receive the Healthy School Award. The final award presentation will be held at George Mason Elementary School in Alexandria, VA on Feb. 16.

The 2012 Healthy Kids Fun Run opens for online registration at noon Eastern on April 4 at www.marinemarathon.com. Parents can register kids for the event that will be held on Saturday, Oct. 27. Schools or organizations interested in registering groups of students can contact Amy Beaulieu, MCM Communications Coordinator at amy.beaulieu@usmc.mil or (703) 784-2357.

Camarena-Williams, Rupp set ARs; 5 world leaders turned in at USATF Classic

2012-02-12T08:33:00.000-08:00

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Jillian Camarena-Williams (Woodland HS, CA 2000; Stanford 2004) and Galen Rupp set American records as five world-leading marks – including one in each round of the women’s 60 meters – were posted at Saturday’s USA Track & Field Classic.

The third stop of USATF’s 2012 Indoor Visa Championship Series, the USA Track & Field Classic will be broadcast from 12:30-2:30 p.m. Eastern Time Sunday on ESPN2.

JCW, Rupp roll
In the very first event of the night, Camarena-Williams picked up where she left off in 2011, breaking her own American record in the women’s shot put with her toss of 19.89m/65-3.75. USA Outdoor champion Michelle Carter was second with 19.09m/62-7.75. Defending U.S. indoor champion Ryan Whiting won the men’s shot with a mark of 21.43m/70-3.75, second-farthest throw in the world this year.

Rupp’s performance came near the end of the evening. In his first attempt at the distance, Rupp eyed Bernard Lagat’s 2-mile American mark of 8:10.07, set in 2011. Saturday night in Fayetteville, Rupp ran a well-paced race, striding behind pacemaker Craig Miller for nine laps. The final 1,400 meters were a solo effort, and a 28.86 last lap propelled Rupp to a record time of 8:09.72.(Lagat on Saturday broke Rupp's 5,000m American record, running 13:07.15 at the Millrose Games.)

Scorching Hollister Mile
The Geoff Hollister men’s mile lived up to the excellence of the race’s namesake, with six men running under the 2012 world-leading time. World Outdoor silver medalist Silas Kiplagat chalked up his second win in the 2012 Indoor Visa Championship Series, edging out Kenyan countryman Caleb Ndiku with a time of 3:52.63. Ndiku was just a whisker behind in 3:52.66, followed by Daniel Kipchirchir Komen (3:53.93), American Russell Brown (Stanford 2008) (3:54.08), Amine Laalou of Morocco (3:54.49) and New Balance Indoor Grand Prix winner Ciaran O’Lionard of Ireland (3:54.76). All six eclipsed the previous 2012 world-leading time of 3:55.09. Jeff See (3:55.79) and Leo Manzano (3:57.92) brought the full field in under 3:58.

In the first running event on the track, World Outdoor champion Kirani James won the men’s 400 in 45.19 to post a 2012 world-leading mark, with Calvin Smith second in 45.73.

Tianna Madison ran a world leader in the first round of the 60 meters with her personal-best time of 7.05, while Allyson Felix (Los Angeles Baptis HS, North Hills, CA 2003; USC 2008 dnc)ran a personal-best time of 7.10 in taking second in heat 2. In the final, Madison improved upon her own world leader, winning in 7.02 to defeat defending world champion Veronica Campbell-Brown (7.08) and Christine Ahoure of the Ivory Coast (7.09)

In the men’s 60 meters, Lerone Clarke of Jamaica ran a world-leading time of 6.52, followed by Justin Gatlin in second and Trell Kimmons in third, both in 6.57.

U.S. Open winner Brenda Martinez (Rancho Cucamonga 2005; UC Riverside 2010)had a lead of close to 10 meters in the women’s 1,500m but was kicked down in the last lap as Siham Hilali (4:09.36) and Btissam Lakhouad (4:09.72) of Morocco overcome her to finish first and second. Martinez was third in 4:09.96, just off her outdoor personal best of 4:09.52.

Ginnie Crawford (USC 2006)got out to a fast start in the women’s 60m hurdles, holding off Olympic gold medalist Dawn Harper’s (UCLA 2006)strong finish. Crawford clocked 7.97 to Harper’s 8.03.

2011 USA indoor and outdoor champion Janay DeLoach topped a great field in the women’s long jump with a best jump of 6.83m/22-5. Bianca Stuart was second at 6.79m/22-3.5, with reigning world indoor and outdoor gold medalist Brittney Reese third with 6.65/21-10.

Athlete Quotes, USA Track & Field Classic

Jillian Camarena-Williams, women’s shot put - "I didn't feel that great to be honest. I had changed up my training and was wanting to see what worked. I've been throwing well and wanted to just get in the ring and compete. I'm still working on a lot of things and I'm still trying to tweak my technique. I'm very happy with today. Something like this motivates me to keep working hard and I'm looking forward to the next five to six months and see where I'm at."

Ryan Whiting, men’s shot put – “It was pretty good. I fouled on the first throw, and I got a little out of rhythm. I had two season bests tonight. It was my fifth best indoor meet. My PR is from the 2008 NCAA Championships, so I’ve thrown well here before.”
Kirani James, men’s 400 - "I had a great run. Today was a positive day for me. Only good things come out of a day like today. My main motivation right now is to stay healthy and stay focused on each race one at a time. Now I move on to Orlando and go from there, but I'm very happy with today."

Siham Hilali, women’s 1,500 - "The race was good for me. My body felt good and with this being my first competition here, I couldn't be more happy with how I ran on this track."

Silas Kiplagat, Geoff Hollister men’s mile - "It was a very fast race all around. I'm definitely happy with where I am at with still plenty of time to improve before this summer. I felt good coming into this race and this is the most experienced I've been where I know what to expect. Now I’ll be able to take this as I move forward and try to improve my time even more."

Ginnie Powell, women’s 60m hurdles - "Getting here late and dealing with a lot of travel issues, I didn't really have much time to prepare other than just go out and run. I just wanted to concentrate on the race and it worked out for me. Practices have been going good, and I'm starting to find my rhythm. I don't do indoors very often, but I'm surprised how fast I am this early in the year. I'll take a time under 8 (seconds), no problem."

Janay DeLoach, women’s long jump - "I was feeling good all the way up to the competition. My goal was to stay at my previous long, so I can't complain. I've still got a ways to go in the next few months. I've got some work left to do, but luckily I still have plenty of time to get an even bigger mark."

Galen Rupp, men’s 2 mile – "It was a great race. Any day you brake a record is a great day. I didn't feel good the last few days, so I was just going to go out and do my best. I wanted to keep pushing on those last laps. I knew I would probably be by myself on those last laps. I just didn't want to take my foot off the gas and not let up. I was ready for it and just went out and did what I wanted to do."

Lerone Clarke, men’s 60m - Ive been training hard. I've been practicing to execute. I did it in the Perkins and went back and did it in the finals. I went out there got out of the blocks and ran hard.

Tiana Madison, women’s 60m - "It always feels good to win, bit that wasn't the focus. The focus was on nationals and getting better for that meet. I felt really good coming in. The point today was to stay in your lane and run the race. That's it. I'm completely pleased with the weekend."

Hall, Mack win USA Cross Country titles in St. Louis

2012-02-11T19:36:00.001-08:00

ST. LOUIS – Sara Hall (Flagstaff, Ariz.) and Bobby Mack (Raleigh, N.C.) each used late charges to outrun the competition as each won their first career USA Cross Country titles Saturday at Forest Park in St. Louis.

The championships consisted of six races for men’s and women’s categories, with national titles on the line for junior, masters and open divisions. The nation’s premier cross country event, the Championships featured $35,000 in prize money.

The senior women’s 8 km saw pre-race favorite Molly Huddle (Providence, R.I.) take command of the lead pack that included Hall, five-time USA Cross Country team member Renee Metivier Baillie (Bend, Ore.), Liz Costello (Knoxville, Tenn.) and Laura Thweatt (Boulder, Colo.).

After 3 km Huddle held a one-step advantage over Hall, with Costello close behind. Over the final 2 km loop, Huddle looked to be in charge but could never pull completely clear of Hall. Charging down the home straight, Hall made one final rally to edge Huddle at the line in a photo finish. Hall and Huddle were both timed in 26:51. Costello held on to finish third in 27:18.

In addition to the national titles on the line in St. Louis, open and junior men and women will qualify to represent Team USA at the North American, Central American, Caribbean (NACAC) Cross Country Championships March 17 in Port of Spain, Trinidad.

Junior women

The junior women’s 6 km was the first of the day to determine the Team USA spots for NACAC, and University of Michigan freshman Shannon Osika waited patiently among a group of runners to earn her first national title, winning the race in a time of 21:05. Margaret Drazba (St. Mary’s, W.V.) took second in 21:08 and Macy Bricks (Clovis, Calif.) took third in 21:11.

Junior men

In the junior men’s 8 km, Syracuse University freshman Jace Lowry (Paragon, Indiana) used the same strategy as Osika as he waited until the final hill with a group of five runners to attack and take home the victory, winning in a time of 24:55, three seconds up on the University of Minnesota duo of Adam Zutz (St. Francis, Minnesota) and Aaron Bartnik (Eden Prairie, Minnesota), who ran 24:58.

Open men

In the final race of the day, Mack ran patiently behind Aaron Braun (Flagstaff, Ariz.) as they led a pack that included Josh Simpson (Morgantown, W.V.), Chris Rombough (St. Paul, Minn.) and Jeff Schirmer (Carbondale, Ill.).

Over the last kilometer, Mack made his move on the final hill on the course, pulling away to run 35:42 for a ten second win over Braun. Simpson took third in 36:04.

Masters Championships

National championships were also decided for masters men and women at 8 km with titles on the line in five-year age groups beginning at age 40 and up.

The first championship race of the day saw Joanna Zieger (Boulder, Colo.) take the overall masters women’s title, running 30:05 for a 16-second win over Jody Hawkins (Blooming Grove, Texas).

The overall masters men’s title went to Christian Cushing-Murray (Santa Ana, Calif.) as he ran 26:09 for a three-second win over Rusty Snow (Santa Barbara, Calif.).

Athlete Quotes

Sara Hall: It was hard to kick in the last 300 meters like I normally would. I was having trouble on the muddier parts of the course. It's an honor to be able to run longer distances this season, and I hope that it's a good sign and that it will bode well for the rest of the year.

Molly Huddle: I really couldn't break away like I normally would like to do. I've never had a race that close before. It was hard to make any kind of a move out there.

Bobby Mack: I was feeling pretty smooth going over the last hill. I started to get the feel of the race over the last two loops. I wanted to make sure I had enough to finish strong. I was feeling confident in my finish at the end. I enjoy competing on a cross country course like this that is rolling unlike a golf course. I felt real comfortable today. I'd like to think that I'm versatile enough on the track and the roads to compete at this level.

Joanna Zeiger: My plan was to assert myself early and hold on. It's not the plan I normally go with. It's out of my comfort zone to run that way. Cold dry air is the worst for me (she has exercise induced asthma), so I knew the breathing would be difficult.

Christian Cushing-Murray: The guy in the front was really tough! I think he's a little mad at me because I sat on him for so long. I thought the weather would affect me, but it didn't, other than the warm-up. The hardest part for me was the softer surface; I'm a rhythm runner so the varying terrain affected me.

Shannon Osika: It's awesome to get the victory! My race plan was to sit on people. That was something that my coach really helped me out with. It wasn't necessarily to get the win, but to make sure I made the team.

Jace Lowry: I redshirted the indoor season at Syracuse just so I could run this race. The first three laps were really relaxed, but things started to pick up on the final lap. As windy as it was, no one really wanted to lead.

Middle distance fields get even faster at USA Track & Field Classic
INDIANAPOLIS – The fast fields competing in the Geoff Hollister men’s mile and women’s 1,500 at Saturday’s USA Track & Field Classic in Fayetteville, Ark., have gotten faster. Five newly announced entrants, including a World Indoor silver medalist and World Junior champion, deepen the fields.

2012 Bank of America Chicago Marathon Sells Out in Record Time
Registration officially closed in a race record six days; limited number of entries still available through the Charity Program

CHICAGO - (February 6, 2012) - Registration for the 2012 Bank of America Chicago Marathon closed in record time as the maximum 45,000 participants signed up in six days for the 35th anniversary event. Demand to run the iconic race, set for Sunday, October 7, has increased significantly in recent years, closing 25 days faster than the previous record established last year. A decade ago, the 2003 event closed in 35 weeks.

"Enthusiasm to run the Bank of America Chicago Marathon is at an all-time high with record breaking interest, and we plan to match that level of enthusiasm by providing participants with a first-class race experience at the 35th anniversary event," said Bank of America Chicago and Illinois Market President Tim Maloney. "Bank of America is proud to create opportunity for 45,000 passionate runners to achieve their goals on race day and to deliver a world class event that has a profound economic and charitable impact on the Chicago community and beyond each year."

Entry into the sold-out event can still be obtained through the Bank of America Chicago Marathon Charity Program, which has generated more than $70 million for local, national and global causes since its inception in 2002. More than 90 affiliated nonprofits have available entries for the 2012 race. Visit www.chicagomarathon.com for charity program details and information on how to register by joining a charity team.

"What a way to begin the 35th anniversary Bank of America Chicago Marathon with our field filling up in record time. It is truly a testament to the first-class experience we provide to each and every runner on the streets of Chicago," said Bank of America Chicago Marathon Executive Race Director Carey Pinkowski. "This marks the start of an exciting journey for the participants, as well as for our partners in the community, the City of Chicago, our sponsors and our volunteers. Staging the Bank of America Chicago Marathon is a team effort, and we're excited to work together to put on a stellar event on October 7 for everyone involved."

About the Bank of America Chicago Marathon
In its 35th year and a member of the World Marathon Majors, the Bank of America Chicago Marathon annually attracts 45,000 participants, including a world class professional runner and wheelchair field, and an estimated 1.7 million spectators. As a result of its national and international draw, each year, the iconic race assists in raising millions of dollars for a variety of charitable causes while generating $170 million in economic impact to its host city according to a report by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign's Regional Economics Applications Laboratory (R.E.A.L.).

The 2012 Bank of America Chicago Marathon will start and finish in Chicago's Grant Park beginning at 7:30am on Sunday, October 7. In advance of the race, a two-day Health & Fitness Expo will be held at McCormick Place Convention Center on Friday, October 5, and Saturday, October 6.

Sarris, McAlister Win Surf City USA Marathon
Event record 20,000-plus entrants enjoy near-perfect running conditions

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. - (February 5, 2012) - Paul Sarris, age 34 of Aliso Viejo, won the 16th Surf City USA Marathon in a time of 2 hours, 30 minutes, 7 seconds on Sunday morning. Competing in his first-ever marathon, Sarris finished more than seven minutes ahead of runner-up Gray Augustus, age 26 from Ammon, Idaho.

"Surf City was a great event," said Sarris. "The volunteers were everywhere and very helpful. The whole experience was amazing."

In the women's marathon, Carla McAlister (age 34 from San Clemente) defeated Hayley McKenn (age 31 from Portland, OR). McAllister's time, 3:02:48, was more than three minutes faster than McKenn's (3:05:52).

In the accompanying half-marathon, the winners were Steven Osaduik (age 26 from Canada) who finished in 1:06:33 and Liz Camy (age 28 from Chico) who clocked 1:17:18.

On her 78th birthday, Anne Garrett from nearby Oceanside crossed the half-marathon finish line in 2:08:33, coming in first in her age group (75-79) and setting a U.S. single age record with a pace of 9:49 per mile (a world class 99% age-graded performance).

"I did my last half-marathon in January of 2010. It took a long time to recover and I said I'd never run another half. When I realized Surf City was being held on my birthday this year, I decided to sign up for it. I wasn't sure how I would hold up for this one, but I was very pleased when I finished in the time I did. I felt better this year than I did two years ago," said Garrett.

Garrett is no stranger to record setting. Last April, she came in first for the 75-79 division at the Carlsbad 5000. Her time was 25:59, shattering the national record for a 5K in her age group by 13 seconds.

The race reached its capacity on Jan. 5, the earliest in its history, and the seventh consecutive year the event has sold out according to general manager Amy Tomchak.

California's largest combined oceanfront marathon and half-marathon featured more than 20,000 pre-registered runners from all 50 states and 18 foreign countries. A crowd of more than 50,000 lined Pacific Coast Highway in Huntington Beach for near-perfect racing conditions. An additional 50,000 spectators attended the Active Lifestyle Expo on Saturday.

New Balance Foundation, Playworks Partner to Expand the Power of Play
National program reaches 130,000 students in 23 U.S. cities; two-year $1.2 million investment

BOSTON - (January 26, 2012) - New Balance Foundation has announced a national partnership with Playworks, a national nonprofit organization that supports learning and a positive school climate by providing healthy, inclusive play and physical activity, to expand the power of play to more than 130,000 students in 23 cities across the country.

They've been a dedicated partner for us in the Boston area for the past year," notes Playworks Founder and CEO, Jill Vialet. "They have a high standard for excellence and a genuine commitment to supporting leadership and youth development. We are thrilled that they are expanding their commitment to the power of play nationally to serve more youth and communities every day."

"Our partnership with Playworks offers us an opportunity to make a meaningful contribution towards expanding the power of play to schools and children nationwide," says Molly Santry, New Balance Foundation. "Playworks has a proven program for getting children active through play that also promotes leadership and other qualities that are important for positive youth development. This expanded partnership underscores the New Balance Foundation's long-standing commitment to building a healthier future."

Since 1981, New Balance Foundation has provided more than $48M towards health and wellness initiatives in its local communities with a focus on the prevention of childhood obesity. In April 2011, New Balance President & CEO Rob DeMartini was named the country's Most Playful CEO in a nationwide search for inventive leaders who incorporate play and innovation into the work environment to encourage collaboration and teamwork. The award was sponsored by Playworks.

Rozsavolgyi, former 1500m World record holder, dead at 82

2012-02-08T10:06:00.000-08:00

István Rózsavölgyi (MASZ)
Monaco - The IAAF is deeply saddened to receive the news that István Rózsavölgyi, a middle distance legend and former World record holder, died on 27 January. He was 82.

Born in Budapest in 1929, Rózsavölgyi was one of the star pupils of coach Mihály Iglói who represented Hungary internationally from 1953 through 1961. He set seven World records during this career - in the 100m, 1500m, 2000m, three times as a member of a 4x1500m Relay team, and again in the 4x1 Mile Relay.

His 1500m record of 3:40.6, set at an Olympic test meeting on 3 August 1956, stood for nearly a year. His 5:02.2 performance in the 2000m, set in Budapest in October 1955, stood for nearly seven years.

Rózsavölgyi competed in both the 1956 and 1960 Olympic Games, winning bronze in the latter.

A commemoration will be held on 15 February at 11:00 a.m. on the athletics track at Budapest's Puska´s Ferenc Stadion, formerly known as Ne´pstadion, where he set unforgettable World Records. Mourners are asked to pay their tribute from 10-11, before the commemoration, with one single flower.

2-8-2012

INDIANAPOLIS - The USA Track & Field Foundation has presented Elite Athlete Development Grants to twenty athletes, Foundation Executive Director Tom Jackovic and Chairman Bob Greifeld announced today.

"It's crunch time for these extraordinary young men and women athletes," said Jack Wickens, Foundation Board member and leader of the elite athlete programs. "In less than 5 months they will try to earn one of the precious spots on the USA Olympic team."

Athletes receiving $3500 grants include first time grantees Ben Bruce (3000 meter steeplechase, Crystal Manning (triple jump), Tori Polk (long jump), Jeffrey Porter (110 meter hurdles), Amanda Smock (triple jump), Christine Spence (400 meter hurdles) and Blessing Ufodiama (triple jump).

Repeat grantees receiving $3500 grants include Jim Dilling (high jump), Brianna Glenn (long jump)(La Mirada HS, CA 1998; Arizona 2002), Jon Ryan Harlan (decathlon), Becky Holliday (pole vault), Mark Hollis (pole vault), Yvette Lewis (100 meter hurdles/triple jump), Melinda Owen (pole vault), Jacob Pauli (pole vault), Mary Saxer (pole vault), Alice Schmidt (800/1500 meters), Jamaal Torrance (400 meters), Bettie Wade (heptathlon) and Tiffany Williams (400 meter hurdles).

Well over 100 athletes have been supported by the USA Track & Field Foundation Elite Athlete Development Grant program, many of which have gone on to compete and medal at the Olympic Games, World Championships, Pan American Games and other international competitions.
The Foundation Elite Athlete Grant Program contributes to the pursuit of world-class performances by American post-collegiate track and field athletes. Athletes must meet minimum performance and financial need standards to be eligible.

The USATF Foundation provides a means to attract and guide funds to new and innovative track and field programs with an emphasis on providing opportunities for youth athletes, emerging elite athletes, distance training centers and anti-doping education. The Foundation depends upon donations from its Board of Directors and from generous fans of track & field.

Boyd Wins New Balance Long Jump Title

2012-02-07T19:54:00.000-08:00

Trojans perform well in the Big Apple

Feb. 7, 2012

Alitta Boyd won the long jump competition to lead the USC's women's track and field team at the 2011 New Balance Collegiate Invitational which featured well over 100 schools and was held at the Armory in New York, N.Y. on Feb. 4-5. Dalilah Muhammad also set a 60m hurdles PR as did Anniya Louis in the 800m run.

"This was a great competition meet for us," said USC assistant coach Tina Fernandes. "For most teams this was their 4th or 5th meet, but this was our 1st. The biggest win was with Alitta with her winning jump 20'9" 3/4, Dalilah with a PR of 8.33, Anniya with. PR of 2:15, and Jessica winning her heat in the 60m (7.40) and 200m (23.88). I believe our team is developing well and on their way to becoming one of USC best!"

Boyd's winning jump in the women's championship long jump competition of 20-9.75 (6.33m) was .01 meters ahead of Francine Simpson of Kansas. It also was a PR for Boyd who's outdoor best is 20-6.5.

"I felt good coming into this meet and relatively bouncy," said Boyd. "I knew I was ready for the long jump but not quite prepared for the triple jump. It was very exciting to set a new personal best, but i'm never satisfied, the next meet i want to go further and faster."

"I think that we started out on a nice note," added USC jumps coach Mike Pullins. "Indoors is always a challenge for our program given the limited indoor opportunities to be this sharp this early. So, for Alitta to open the year with a PR means we are doing the right things."

Muhammad reached the finals in the women's 60 HH and placed eighth with a time of 8.36. She reached the finals by posting a PR of 8.33 in the prelims. Lauren Blackburn ran an 8.41 in the prelims to qualify for the consolation finals, but did not complete due to soreness in her leg.

"It was my last time competing at the new balance games so it's bittersweet," said Muhammad. "Everyone ran really well though. It's always difficult competing at such a high level for one of our first meets but I think everyone really stepped up to it. It's a little sad our 4 by 4 didn't get to run but these things happen. The team made sure to let Jenna know we don't blame her. There wasn't anything any of us could have done different.

Muhammad was referring to the Trojans' 4x400m relay race which ended in the first lap when Jenna Puterbaugh took the lead, but was tripped from behind causing both runners to fall to the track.

"All four of us on the 4x4 were ready for a great race this past Saturday, unfortunately it didn't end as we planned," noted Puterbaugh. "I ran the first leg & was in control of the lead until the girl behind me stepped on my leg and we both went down coming off of the last curve. Luckily there was a pad on the floor where I fell so I am fine. I was bummed that the rest of the team wasn't able to run their part of the race, but they were extremely supportive and came out I make sure I was alright after the fall. Obviously, the result wasn't what we hoped for but we are all extremely ready to show what were capable of at the next meet. We have a solid 4x4 this year (including alternates) & I can't wait to see what we can do."

Louis took 16th in the women's college 800m race with an indoor PR of 2:15.92.

Jessica Davis placed sixth in the women's 200m finals with a time of 23.88. Davis had a time of 24.09 to win her heat in the prelims and Aareon Payne had a time of 24.26 and Akawkaw Ndipagbor a time of 24.41 in the preliminary round.

Davis also won her 60m dash heat in the prelims with a time of 7.40 and placed third in the consolation race with the exact same time.

"It was my first 200 of the season and my first 200 indoor ever," said Davis. "At this time in my season I am working on making my starts better and more powerful, that is where most of my focus is right now. I think I ran a good 60 meter as well, being that it was also my first 60 meter ever in order to become better at what I'm doing, I plan on still keeping God first and listening to my coach and having faith in her like she has faith in me."

Bring Back the Mile Website Expands Content

2012-02-07T16:11:00.001-08:00

The one-stop website for the Mile and the national campaign includes high school state federation petition drive; Jim Ryun, Marty Liquori and others endorse effort to elevate, celebrate iconic distance

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – (February 7, 2012) – After a successful splash launch, bringbackthemile.com has expanded its website with a state federation petition requesting that the Mile be brought back to the State Championship level as well as an opportunity for anyone and everyone to share photographs, videos or their written stories through the I Am the Mile sub-campaign. The website also features an ever expanding database of Mile news, history, trivia and athlete bios.

The initial launch on January 19 not only created “buzz” on the web and beyond, but generated almost14,000 YouTube views of the Bring Back the Mile trailer and extended video as well as 1,000-plus Facebook fans and a Sports Illustrated “Faces in the Crowd” feature.

“We are heartened by the response that we have received since our launch,” said Ryan Lamppa, Bring Back the Mile Founder. “People have a love and a passion for the Mile, and our website bringbackthemile.com will be the Mile home on-line. Our front page feature is the high school state federation petition drive to replace the 1600 meters with the Mile at State Championships.

“In addition, a special thank you to the Bring Back the Mile Support Team including Olympians and Milers Jim Ryun, Marty Liquori, Carrie Tollefson and Leo Manzano and our Partners who have offered their support and feedback to get this national campaign launched,” Lamppa added.

The Mile holds a special place in Track & Field and beyond because no running distance, or field event for that matter, has the history, the appeal, the “magic” of the Mile. The first sub-4 minute mile by Great Britain’s Roger Bannister in 1954 is regarded as the greatest individual athletic achievement of the 20th century, and no other event has produced an equivalent of the sub-4 minute Mile standard in the sport, in the media and in the public’s mind.

Unfortunately, the Mile has lost some of its luster over the past decade, and the Bring Back the Mile mission is: To return the Mile to prominence on the American sports and cultural landscape by elevating and celebrating the Mile to create a national movement.

USTFCCCA ::: DII T&F Rankings -- Grand Canyon New Men's No. 1 Team

2012-02-07T12:57:00.001-08:00

QUICKLY ... Without the benefit of data from last season being a contributing factor in this week's rankings, it was most definitely a "moving" week for many of the teams across the country.

In just the second year of the program’s history, Grand Canyon is the new No. 1 men’s team in the country. Ashland moved from fifth to No. 2 marking their first time in the top three this season, and Saint Augustine’s is back in the top three at No. 3. Lincoln (Mo.) slipped from No. 1 – a position they have been since the preseason – to No. 6.

On the women’s side, the only stability came from No. 1 – Grand Valley State – still holding a considerable lead atop the cat-bird seat. Grand Canyon’s women are also enjoying the highest ranking in team history, moving from No. 4 to No. 2 this week. No.3 Adams State and No. 5 Ashland, along GVSU, were the only teams in the top 25 to stay in their original positions from the previous week.

Clemson’s Women Step into Top Three for First Time with New DI Rankings

2012-02-07T09:20:00.001-08:00

With moving week just a week away, teams are expected to have major weekend around the country

February 7, 2012

NEW ORLEANS – As we near the halfway point of the collegiate indoor track & field season, the national-podium race is starting to heat up. While the top three men’s teams in the latest USTFCCCA National Team Rankings remained unchanged for the third-straight week, Clemson’s women made their first-ever appearance in the national top three.

For the nation’s women, No. 1 Oregon and No. 2 LSU are still among the elite. The Ducks sat idle last weekend while LSU finished third at the New Balance Collegiate Invitational. The winners of the women’s team title at the NBCI was now-No. 3 Clemson, who crushed the field with a 29-point victory over nearest challenger No. 7 BYU.

Clemson’s NCAA-podium hopes continue to grow as junior Stormy Kendrick clocked a collegiate-leading 60 meter time of 7.22 last weekend. Freshman Dezerea Bryant is in a tie for third among 60-meter times this season with a 7.25 showing a few weeks ago. In addition, junior Marlena Wesh currently has the collegiate-leading time in the 400 meters after blazing a 52.21 last weekend. Tigers Brianna Rollins and Bridgette Owens own co-leading spots in the collegiate ranks this season with a pair of 7.97 hurdle times. Throw in the nation’s leading 4x400 relay time of 3:34.97, and Clemson is poised for a run at the podium and more. Clemson last had a national top-four finish in 2001, finishing third during the indoor season.

Georgia leapt six spots to No. 13, helped by the performance of freshman Morgann Leleux in the pole vault. The Bulldog cleared 14-4½ (4.38m) in the vault – the second-best performance in the NCAA this season – and attempted a collegiate-record height of 14-11½ (4.56m) at Virginia Tech’s Elite Meet.

Kansas moved into the national top 25 for the first time this season, landing at No. 24. The move helped the Big 12 to a nation-leading seven schools in the top 25 among conferences. And, for the first time this year, the Big 12 (455.01) has a higher conference index than the SEC (454.21).

On the men’s side, there has been no change to the top seven squads – still No. 1 Arkansas, No. 2 LSU, No. 3 LSU, No. 4 Texas, No. 5 Arizona, No. 6 Florida State, and No. 7 Stanford. Arkansas was idle this past weekend while Florida gained some ground on their SEC rivals. Omar Craddock (triple jump) and Kemal Mesic (shot put) produced collegiate-leading marks last weekend for the Gators.

Texas A&M continues to climb and are now at No. 8 after clocking the nation’s leading distance medley relay time (9:29.71) and winning the men’s team title at the NBCI. Henry Lelei was the hero for the Aggies as he anchored the DMR squad and won the Mile the next day.

Virginia Tech is in the top ten for the first time this season at No. 9 after Marcel Lomnicky and Alexander Ziegler captured the top two spots in the nation with 75-foot-plus marks in the weight throw.

The SEC continues to be the dominate conference on the men’s side, having all three teams in the nation’s top three and seven in the top 25. The Big Ten has six in the top 25.

Outside of the championship weekends, the second weekend in February traditionally is one of the strongest in collegiate indoor track & field for qualifying marks and out-of-conference competition. Beginning next week, national rankings will use only marks from the 2012 season (with the exception of combined events). The next round of computer rankings will be released on February 14.

The 2012 NCAA Division I Indoor Track & Field Championships will be held in Nampa, Idaho, on March 9-10.

Felix-VCB rivalry re-ignites at USA Track & Field Classic; deep fields for sprints, hurdles

2012-02-06T16:30:00.000-08:00

INDIANAPOLIS – The most celebrated sprint rivalry in women’s track and field kicks off in the 2012 Olympic year when American Allyson Felix (Los Angeles Baptist HS, North Hills 2003; USC 2008 did not compete) and Jamaican Veronica Campbell-Brown run the 60 meters this Saturday at the USA Track & Field Classic in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

Held at the University of Arkansas’ Randal Tyson Center, the USA Track & Field Classic is the third stop on USATF’s 2012 Indoor Visa Championship Series. The meet will be televised on ESPN2 from 12-2 p.m. Eastern on Sunday, February 12.

Felix v. VCB, Round 1
In the last two Olympic Games and last four World Outdoor championships 200m finals, Felix and Campbell-Brown alone have accounted for every gold medal and all but two silver medals. Felix is a three-time world champion and two-time Olympic silver medalist, while VCB is the two-time Olympic gold medalist, the 2011 world champion and a two-time world runner-up to Felix.

Campbell-Brown is also the defending world champion indoors at 60 meters and is coming off a win January 28 at the U.S. Open of Track & Field at Madison Square Garden. The short, 60-meter distance favors Campbell-Brown’s explosiveness, but Felix’s shorter-sprint chops were on display when she won the 2010 USA Outdoor 100m title. The most versatile sprinter in the world, Felix in 2011 won the U.S. 400m crown to go along with her five outdoor 200m crowns.

The two will face a top field that includes defending USA Indoor champion Alexandria Anderson, 2008 Olympic Trials 100m champion Muna Lee and two-time NCAA 200m champion Porscha Lucas.

The men’s 60m is equally deep, with Olympic and World Championship medalists and finalists filling the field, including Americans Wallace Spearmon, Darvis Patton, Justin Gatlin and Shawn Crawford; Olympic 100m silver medalist Richard Thompson of Trinidad and Churandy Martina of Netherlands Antilles.

The men’s and women’s 60 meters at the USA Track & Field Classic will include semifinals and finals.

In the men’s 400m, 2011 World Outdoor 400m champion Kirani James of Grenada will run on the track where the world indoor record in 2005 was set by LaShawn Merritt and broken few weeks later by Kerron Clement. James outdueled Merritt, the defending Olympic champion, to win the 2011 world title, and he is coming off a win Saturday at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix. The U.S. field will include Olympic bronze medalist David Neville and 2009 USA Indoor champion Jamaal Torrance.

American juggernaut in WLJ, hurdles
The women’s hurdles and long jump will feature many of Team USA’s most accomplished athletes. In the long jump, world indoor and outdoor champion Brittney Reese jumps against 2011 USA Indoor champion Janay DeLoach, Olympic heptathlon silver medalist Hyleas Fountain and World Outdoor finalist Funmi Jimoh.

The 60m hurdles includes two-time Olympic gold medalist Dawn Harper (UCLA 2006), World Outdoor champion Michelle Perry (Quartz Hill HS 1997; UCLA 2001), Fountain and two-time USA Outdoor champion Ginnie Powell.

The USA Track & Field Classic will be held in conjunction with the 2012 Tyson Invitational, one of the nation’s premier collegiate meets. For more information and scheduled fields for the USA Track & Field Classic, visit www.visachampionshipseries.com.

Clarence E. Burton Jr. 1918-2012

2012-02-05T08:52:00.000-08:00

April 27, 1918 — Feb. 1, 2012

Clarence E. Burton Jr., 93, passed away Feb. 1, 2012, at the Cottonwood Acute Care Center in Woodland. Clarence had been recovering at the care center since suffering a fractured femur last October.

Better known as “Shorty,” he was born April 27, 1918, at home on the Burton Ranch where he spent his entire life, never once leaving the state of California. The third of 12 children, Shorty graduated from Vacaville High School in June 1936. It was in high school that Shorty developed his lifelong enjoyment of basketball, which included his time spent as coach, manager and player for the Vacaville town team from 1940 to 1950.

Following graduation, Shorty began a career in the fruit shipping business and was employed by Pacific Fruit Exchange in Vacaville. It was from Vacaville that the first fruit of the season was delivered to the New York markets where fresh fruit was considered quite a delicacy. By the end of his career, Shorty was office manager for the W. J. Roberts Packing Company in Suisun Valley. After 32 years in the packing business, he retired in 1968 to begin a “second career” helping four of his brothers in farming the fruit ranch planted by their grandfather in the early 1880s.

For another 44 years, Shorty continued to work in the orchards until he suffered a heart attack last May. Despite this setback, Shorty remained a critical part of the ranch by patiently providing instruction and guidance.

This lifetime of hard work, however, did not prevent Shorty from taking an active role in the raising of his three youngest brothers following the death of their father. His unwavering work ethic and strong character has served as an example to the generations of family that have followed.

Shorty is survived by his brothers, Earl (Beverly), Ernest (Pat), Fred (Bonnie) and George (Stormy) of Vacaville, and Gary of Corning; sister, Margaret Cook of Sacramento; sister-in-law, Allean Burton (Buck); and brother-in-law, Bill Powell (Grace) of Vacaville.

Five siblings have preceded him in death: brothers, Lawrence, Richard, and Marion (Buck); and sisters, Ezma Jean and Grace Powell.

His large extended family of nieces and nephews, and their children, will greatly miss their Uncle Shorty.

A visitation will take place from 5 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 9, 2012, at McCune Garden Chapel, 212 Main Street, Vacaville. A graveside service will take place at 1 p.m. Friday, Feb. 10, 2012, at Suisun-Fairfield Cemetery, 1707 Union Avenue, Fairfield, followed by a reception at the Vine Street District Fire Station, 420 Vine Street, Vacaville.

Suhr breaks American record at New Balance Indoor Grand Prix

2012-02-04T23:09:00.000-08:00

BOSTON – After failing to clear a height in the women’s pole vault last weekend at the U.S. Open, Jenn Suhr made the most of her opportunities at the New Balance Grand Prix Saturday night. On the second stop of USATF’s Indoor Visa Championship Series, Suhr bettered her own existing American record with a winning height of 4.88m/16-0 to highlight events at the Reggie Lewis Center.

The meet will be broadcast Sunday on ESPN2 at 2 p.m.

Suhr bettered her previous American record of 4.86m/15-11.25, which she set last year at the USA Indoor Championships and became the #2 indoor vaulter of all time. She brought a sellout crowd of 4,072 to its feet in becoming the first women’s American pole vaulter to clear the 16-foot barrier indoors. Owner of the best vault in the world this year, Suhr made just one attempt at 5.01m/16-5.25, which would have set a world record. She passed on the final two because of problems with her Achilles tendon.

David Oliver scored his first major victory of the 2012 indoor season, winning the men’s 60-meter hurdles in 7.60 seconds, coming back from a sluggish start to win at the tape.

Sneaking through on the inside, Maggie Vessey (Soquel HS 2000; Cal Poly SLO 2005)stole the women’s 800 from American Erica Moore and Ethiopia’s Fantu Magiso in a photo-finish. With Magiso in the lead but fading into the final homestretch, Vessey found a small window in lane one and finished in a dead heat with Moore. Both finished with times of 2:02.37, but Vessey was ruled the winner with an overall time of 2:02.361 to Moore’s 2:02.365.

Congestion in a close pack in the men’s mile sent Great Britain’s 5,000m world champion, Mo Farah, to the track on the race’s opening lap. American 10,000m record holder Galen Rupp led much of the race before being overtaken by Ireland’s Ciaran O’Lionaird and Canada’s Taylor Milne, who finished first and second, respectively. O’Lionaird recorded a winning time of 3:56.01 and Milne placed second at 3:56.40. Rupp was third in 3:57.10 while Farah rallied to place fourth in 3:57.92.

Adam Nelson made a big improvement from last weekend’s third place finish at the U.S Open to win the men’s shot put Saturday with a first-round toss of 21.27m/69-9.5.

2011 World Outdoor champion 400m gold medalist Kirani James of Grenada ran out of lane five to win the race in a world-leading time of 45.96 while DeeDee Trotter picked up a win in the women’s in a time of 37.07.

Also posting wins Saturday were Ethiopian “baby-faced assassin” Tirunesh Dibaba in the women’s 2 mile (9:21.60), Murielle Ahoure of the Ivory Coast in the women’s 60m (7.13), Btissam Lakhouad of Morocco in the women’s 1,000m (2:38.14), and Caleb Ndiku of Kenya in the men’s 3,000 meters, where he finished in 7:38.29 to outlast Dejen Gebremeskel of Ethiopia (7:38.97).

ATHLETE QUOTES
David Oliver (winner men’s 60m hurdles)
“It was not a very good run. I can't give up segments like that. My first hurdle is completely messed up. But that's what indoors is for – to train and get a good accounting of myself. I don't think I did that today. I didn't execute my start; it’s always a work in progress for me. I understand what the problem is; we'll get it eventually. That's what's cool about running indoors in the U.S. I run a race and get instant feedback from coach. My coach can make adjustments. It’s good for me to run week after week.
“It’s good to win against such a quality field. I'm going to get it done. It’s good to be healthy, running and competing again. I'm glad they have our race in all the U.S. events. I love being on TV so my friends and family can see me and not have to hunt for some live stream from Europe.”

Adam Nelson (winner men’s shot put)
“It feels good. This is still early for me. For me it’s all about building confidence right now. What you try to do is build your confidence early. Sometime this is like getting out of bed in the morning. I have the experience to be able to roll with the punches. The greatest thing about experience is there are few things you haven’t seen before. And the worst part about experiences is there are few things you haven’t seen before. I have been injury free for a year and a half now and my training has been more consistent.”

Kirani James (winner men’s 400m)
“It was a great race. I opened up my season here to see where I'm at. I had a very short fall training. I had great time in the weight room and incorporated my weight training well. I am happy with my opening race. I think the race was exceptional. I just competed to see where I'm at and will make any adjustments. I'm happy with my conditioning and I'm happy with my opening time. My main motive is to go out and compete and represent my country well.”

Maggie Vessey (winner women’s 800m)
“I felt good. I felt we ran an even pace. I thought there was enough room for me to get by. It was hard making moves. Outdoors I have a tendency to move out wide. I was a little surprised I was able to get through. That move definitely wasn’t planned. There was a little bit of space and I just tried to shoot through. I had those first race jitters a bit.

Erica Moore (runner-up women’s 800m)
“I thought I had it. I should have expected (Vessey) to come up like that. My eyes got a little big when I thought I had it won.”

Deedee Trotter (winner women’s 300m)
“This competition was to see where I was. It was a little bumpy. I felt like I was building momentum and then I'd go down. But I was able to pull it out and get there at the last minute. I love it here in Boston; this is my favorite stadium to run in and my favorite crowd.”

Ciaran O’Lionaird (winner men’s mile)
“It is all a learning experience for me. In this you have to be ready for everything. (Mo Farah) showed a lot of character and courage to be able to get up and finish like that. I’m thankful we can go through this uninjured. Anything can happen. I’m the same guy I was a few years ago running 4:15; now I just have better people around me.”

Tirunesh Dibaba (winner women’s 2 mile)
“I feel very happy. I believe I have come through with very little training and I think I have done very well. I've been training for two months and just three times on the track. Boston is my second home. ‘Bostonians’ support me. To run here is good for me and I am very much pleased with my performance.”

Meseret Defar (winner women’s 3,000m)
“I'm very pleased with my race. This is my first race indoors. The race was uneven but I have raced well. I was planning to go under 8:30 but it didn't happen. But I'm very pleased.”

Murielle Ahoure (winner women’s 60m)
“It felt great. I was extremely nervous before the competition. I went out and executed exactly how I've been training. I'm extremely happy.”

UCF’s Freeman jumps to the list-of-ten as a freshman

February 2, 2012

NEW ORLEANS – Oklahoma redshirt junior Tia Brooks and UCF freshman Octavious Freeman were named to the latest update of The Bowerman women’s watch list on Wednesday. Brooks is the collegiate leader in the shot put as the only this season to throw for over 60 feet this season. Freeman, within the first two collegiate meets of her career, has clocked the collegiate-leading 60-meter time of 7.23 seconds.

Brooks (Grand Rapids, Mich.) marked a collegiate-leading put of 60-8 (18.49m) two weekends ago at Oklahoma’s JD Martin Duals for the victory. In addition, the mark moved her to fifth on the all-time collegiate indoor performers list.

Freeman (Lake Wales, Fla.) notched a collegiate-leading, season’s best of 7.23 seconds in the 60 meters to finish as the top collegian at the Auburn Invitational two weekends ago. She was also the winner of the VT Invitational 60 meters in 7.27 the week prior. Through two meets and four rounds, Freeman has clocked 7.27 or better on three occasions this year.

It is the first time Brooks or Freeman has landed on the Watch List.

For this update, new to the “also receiving mention” list – a group of great athletes just outside of the Watch List’s ten – are Clemson freshman Dezerea Bryant, Washington sophomore Katie Flood, Southern Illinois’s Jeneva McCall, Academy of Art’s Vashti Thomas, and Stony Brook’s Lucy Van Dalen.

QUICKLY – The Watch List

Brigetta Barrett, Arizona – Barrett is so far two-for-two in the victories department this season in the high jump. But, more impressively she cleared 6-5½ (1.97m) on the way to winning the Razorback Invitational’s event. The leap is just one centimeter (half inch) from the collegiate record set in 2009 by Destinee Hooker. Barrett took attempts at 6-6¾ (2.00m) but missed all three. Barrett is the current American leader in the high jump and ranks second in the world for the year.

Tia Brooks, Oklahoma – Brooks is the collegiate leader in the shot put as the only this season to throw for over 60 feet this season, having marked a put of 60-8 (18.49m) two weekends ago at Oklahoma’s JD Martin Duals for the victory. In addition, the mark moved her to fifth on the all-time collegiate indoor performers list. Brooks in the American-leader in the shot put and No. 6 in the world in 2012.

Emma Coburn, Colorado – Has yet to compete.

Kimberlyn Duncan, LSU – Duncan is the collegiate leader in the 200 meters, having recorded a time of 23.25 last weekend as the event’s top collegian at the Razorback Invitational – a time that ranks No. 2 in the world so far this year. Duncan was the winner of the 200 at the dual at Texas A&M.

Octavious Freeman, UCF – Freeman, within the first two collegiate meets of her career, has clocked the collegiate-leading 60-meter time of 7.23 seconds set at the Auburn Invitational two weekends ago. She was also the winner of the VT Invitational 60 meters in 7.27 the week prior. Through two meets and four rounds, Freeman has clocked 7.27 or better on three occasions this year.

Jordan Hasay, Oregon – Winner of the Mile at the Texas A&M Mondo Challenge last weekend with a time of 4:37.29. Last weekend she also ran the anchor leg with a 4:35.75 split in leading Oregon’s DMR to victory. The DMR’s time of 10:56.331 is the second-best collegiate time in 2012 and the eighth-best legal time (non-oversized track) of all time. Hasay currently ranks No. 5 in the world in the Mile.

Anne Kesselring, Oregon – Last weekend at the Texas A&M Mondo Challenge, Kesselring opened the season with a 2:05.77 clocking in the 800 meters, taking second to Tennessee’s Chanelle Price. However, the great accomplishment of the weekend was her contribution as the opening 1200-meter leg, split at 3:20.69, of the Ducks’ DMR that clocked 10:56.31 – the second-best collegiate time this season so far and the eighth all-time best.

Sheila Reid, Villanova – Has yet to compete.

Tina Sutej, Arkansas – Sutej has won two meets so far this season in the pole vault, continuing her indoor winning streak that now spans nine meets and dates back to beginning of the 2011 season. Her best clearance of the season for the collegiate-record holder came last weekend at the Razorback Invitational where she went over the bar at 14-7¼ (4.45m).

Brianne Theisen, Oregon – Theisen started the 2012 indoor season exactly the same she finished the 2011 indoor season – with a collegiate record in the pentathlon. Last weekend at Texas A&M’s Mondo Challenge, Theisen scored 4,555 points to top her own collegiate record of 4,540 set last year in winning the NCAA title. For Theisen, her last three pentathlons have been collegiate-record breaking performances. In last weekend’s pentathlon, Theisen also cleared 6-2 (1.88m) in the high jump – a performance that ranks second among all collegians so far this season. Theisen’s 4,555 also broke the Canadian record of 4,550 that was set in 1982 and ranks No. 2 in the world for 2012.

Rovelto Signs Six Athletes to NLI's
Versatile group among best in tenure
Feb. 1, 2012

MANHATTAN, Kan. – Kansas State Director of Track & Field and Cross Country Cliff Rovelto has built the Wildcats into one of the top programs in the nation, and on National Signing Day he has brought in another stellar recruiting class to add to his team for the 2012-13 season. The K-State track program signed six recruits to National Letters of Intent on Wednesday, and each has the potential to make an impact for the Wildcats upon their arrival.

“I think this is probably as good of a group we have signed on the initial signing period right off the bat in my time here,” Rovelto said. “We have never signed this many quality athletes on the initial date. The couple years when our recruiting class was ranked in the top five by Track & Field News, those classes are not as good as this class. So I think both the men’s and women’s classes will be ranked fairly high.”

The women’s team signed three recruits with some of the nation’s best talent headed to Manhattan to wear Purple and White.

Tia Gamble is a sprinter from the Dallas, Texas area where she helped DeSoto High School to a state championship her junior year. She currently ranks sixth in the nation and first in the state of Texas in the 400 meters indoors. Last summer, Gamble won the 400 meter hurdles at the USATF Junior Championship. She then went on to be a finalist in the event at the Junior Pan Am Games. She also ran a leg of the 4x400 relay team at DeSoto in 2011 that ran the fastest time in the nation at the high school level.

With the success of one Pennsylvania native on the team in Ryann Krais (UCLA), the Wildcats have signed another from the state in Jordan Mathews. She is a three-time medalist at the state championship meet, including a victory in the long jump and runner-up finish in the 400 meters. Mathews has a personal best long jump of 19-07.50 and has been ranked No. 1 in Pennsylvania the last two years.

Jasmine Gibbs is another sprinter and long jumper the Wildcats have signed from California. Gibbs finished fifth in the long jump and 100 meters at last year’s state championship. She has a personal best mark of 19-9.00 in the long jump, which ranked 21st in the nation among high school athletes last season.

“The gals are all very versatile,” Rovelto said. “All three are not contributing in only one event. They will be able to contribute in multiple events for us.”

The men’s team also signed a number of jumpers to the squad and one combined events specialist as the Wildcats add four to the recruiting class.

Tyris Jefferson signs with K-State out of Texas where he was ranked No. 6 in the state in the long jump in 2011 and is the highest ranked senior entering the 2012 season. He finished fourth at the USATF Junior National Championship and AAU Junior Olympics in the long jump last summer. In 2010, he finished seventh at the USATF Junior meet. He has a best just of 24-02.25 long jump and also has fast times in the 200 meters and 400 meters.

Jharyl Bowry is another jumper from Canada where he has seen a good amount of success in the long jump as well. In 2011, he was ranked No. 1 outdoors at the junior college level and placed second at the indoor national championship meet. He then finished fourth outdoors. Bowry also reached the finals in the 2010 Canadian National Championship and was a finalist at the 2009 Junior Pan Am Games.

Zach Riley is the third jumper in the signing class for the men and is the defending NJCCAA champion in the high jump out of Renn Lake Community College in Illinois. He has a personal best clearance of 7-5.00 and also has a long jump mark of 23-5.00. In high school he helped Herrin High School in Illinois win a state championship. He twice claimed state titles in the high jump and long jump.

“Jharyl will primarily be a long jumper, and Tyris is very versatile and could possibly be a decathlete,” Rovelto said. “Domestically, Zach Riley has the highest jump of anybody that is recruitable. He’s been pretty consistent at the 7-2.00 range and has a personal best of 7-5.00.”

Rovelto said he and his staff anticipate receiving a few more signed NLI’s before the signing period is over in two weeks. The current Wildcats will be in action this weekend with a small group headed to the New Mexico Collegiate Classic and another group competing at the Sevigne Husker Invitational.

Bowerman Watch List

Women’s watch list update will be released tomorrow.

Jarret Eaton, Gunnar Nixon Join The Bowerman’s Watch List of Ten

The pair accomplished impressive feats last weekend

February 1, 2012

NEW ORLEANS – Syracuse sophomore Jarret Eaton and Arkansas freshman Gunnar Nixon are the latest additions to The Bowerman Watch List the award’s watch list committee announced Wednesday. The underclassmen duo had performances last weekend worthy of acclaim and they are now on the radar for collegiate track & field’s biggest award.

Eaton (Abington, Pa.) recorded two of the top ten fastest-recorded times for a collegian in the 60-meter hurdles last weekend at the Penn State National. In the meet’s preliminary round, Eaton clocked 7.54, moving to eighth on the all-time collegiate charts. In the meet’s final, Eaton notched a time of 7.49 – the fastest collegiate time since 1997. Collegiate record holder Reggie Torian of Wisconsin (7.47) is the only to have run faster.

Nixon (Edmond, Okla.) had his glory in the heptathlon this past weekend at the Razorback Invitational on his home track in Arkansas. The Razorback frosh won the event and scored 6,022 points which not only places him fifth on the all-time collegiate performers list, but it also topped the world junior record set in 1989 by Germany’s Michael Kohnle (5,953).

Both Eaton and Nixon are making their first-ever appearance on The Bowerman Watch List.

The committee also added Texas’ Ryan Crouser, Kansas State’s Erik Kynard, and North Central’s (Ill.) Josh Winder to the “also receiving mention” list.
