- W-TJ: CA jr Brittany Daniels 44-11.75 +1.4 smashes US high school record, and TX sr Erica McLain, now the US#3 all time performer, gets 43-7.75 +0.0 on fourth try for second. Both Daniels and McLain had bettered the old record (44-2.25 by Ychlindria Spears in 2001) with wind-aided attempts earlier this season, joining Spears and Juliana Yendork (six jumps 43-6 or better in 1991) as the only US HS girls ever to surpass 44 feet. But Daniels' winning effort was truly Beamonesque, and she is only a junior.

- W-200: Pro Allyson Felix 22.73 +0.3 wins. CA sr Shalonda Solomon 23.03 is second, then Penn State's Shana Cox 23.03 and CA sr Jasmine Baldwin 23.31.
