Track and Field — USA Cleans Up at 2010 NACAC Track & Field Championships
MIRAMAR, Fla. – Team USA picked up 31 more medals on Sunday to bring the total to a record 74 medals as action concluded on Sunday at the 2010 NACAC Under-23 Track & Field Championships, held at Ansin Sports Complex, in Miramar, Florida.
LeJerald Betters, who recently took second in the 400m at the Diamond League meeting in Lausanne in 44.70, ran lead-off leg duty for the men’s 4×400m in an unofficial 44.3 before handing off to O’Neal Wilder. It was then Wilder to Joey Hughes, who handed off to Tavaris Tae for the anchor leg. Tate blazed the track in an unofficial 44.1 to cross the finish line in a meet record 2:58.83. The previous record of 3:01.15 was set in 2002.
Team USA destroyed the competition in the women’s 4×400m as Ebony Collins, Amber Purvis, Shelise Williams, and Tameka Jameson got the baton around the track in 3:29.80. Heading off the final turn, Jameson had more than a 50m lead over Jamaica, who finished as the runner-up well back in 3:38.05.
Charles Jock ran away from the pack in the men’s 800m, winning by almost two seconds in 1:45.65. Bermuda’s Aaron Evans was the runner-up in 1:47.79. Cory Primm, who had been sitting in second place for the first 700m, faded to fifth in 1:49.04. Canada’s Jessica Smith won the women’s 800m in 2:04.96 as Christine Rodgers claimed silver in 2:05.00 and Anna Layman took bronze in 2:05.39.
With 400m to go in the men’s 5,000m, four athletes were in the hunt for the gold medal. When the bell rang, Mike Crouch and Diego Borrego (MEX) separated themselves from Mohamed Ige and Jose Mireles (MEX). Crouch and Borrego battled the entire way with Borrego puling away in the last few strides for the win (14:32.90). Crouch won silver in 14:33.33 while Ige took bronze in 14:38.95 and Mireles was fourth in 14:39.75.

Track & Field — Records Fall at Nike Prefontaine Classic
EUGENE – 2008 Olympic Games bronze medalist David Oliver equaled the third-fastest time ever in the men’s 110m hurdles and the Hayward Field record book was shredded Saturday at the 2010 Nike Prefontaine Classic on the campus of the University of Oregon in Eugene. The action took place on a beautiful sunny day in front of an appreciative standing room only crowd for the 15th consecutive year.
David Oliver ran 12.90 in the 110M hurdles to equal the American record in the event and for his efforts he was named the Visa Athlete of the Meet. Oliver had a strong start and grabbed the lead by the fourth hurdle and continued to lengthen it all the way to the finish. His performance equals the American record first posted by Dominique Arnold on July 11, 2006 in Lausanne.
2010 USA Outdoor Championships runner-up Ryan Wilson finished second in a season’s best 13.16, with USA Outdoor Champs third-place finisher Ronnie Ash placing third again in 13.19, which equals his personal best set last week at Nationals in Des Moines, Iowa. Two-time World Outdoor Championships bronze medalist and 2008 Olympic Games silver medalist David Payne finished fourth in a seasonal best 13.24.
Barrier finally broken in Nike Men’s 5,000 Meters
Prior to this afternoon the 13-minute barrier had never been broken in the United States. Now it’s happened twice.
Coming down the final stretch the Hayward Field crowd was delirious as Tariku Bekele of Ethiopia approached the finish line looking as though he would finish before the clock hit 13 minutes. Bekele crossed the finish line in 12:58.93 in setting a Hayward Field record. Bekele was closely followed by Dejen Gebremeskel of Ethiopia, who also bettered the 13-minute barrier with his runner-up, personal best time of 12:59.30. Imane Merga of Ethiopia was third in 13:00.18, with Kenya’s Eliud Kipchoge finishing fourth in 13:01.17.

News — California Sprinter Named Gatorade Girls Athlete of the Year
Ashton Purvis of St. Elizabeth High School (Oakland, Calif.) has been honored as its 2009-10 Gatorade National Girls Track & Field Athlete of the Year, the 25th year of the honor.

Track & Field — Jeter, Wariner to compete in Shanghai Grand Prix
The fastest woman in the world in 2009, Carmelita Jeter will take on reigning Olympic and World Outdoor champion Shelly Ann Fraser (JAM) in the women’s 100 Sunday at the Shanghai Golden Grand Prix, the second event on the IAAF’s Diamond League schedule, in China.
A two-time World Outdoor bronze medalist, Jeter and Fraser will go head-to-head over 100m. The last time Jeter competed in Shanghai, she became the second-fastest woman ever in the 100m dash, winning the race in an astonishing 10.64. She also has run two of the three fastest times in the world so far this year, with an early season-best of 10.94.
In the men’s 400m, a rematch is set between Jeremy Wariner and David Neville. Two weeks ago, Wariner lost to Neville over 400m at a race in Puerto Rico, running 45.47 to Neville’s 45.44. It was the first time Wariner lost to someone not named Lashawn Merritt since 2005. At just 26 years old, Wariner already has 10 Olympic and World Outdoor Championship medals in his trophy case.
The women’s 400m hurdles features the reigning Olympic and World Outdoor gold and silver medalists, Sheena Tosta and Lashinda Demus, who have each taken a back seat to Melaine Walker (JAM) in the recent past. First it was Tosta, who brought home the silver from the 2008 Olympics when Walker won gold. Then it was Demus last year in Berlin at the World Outdoor Championships when Walker once again won gold and Demus brought home the silver.
