After winning the Nike Indoor Championship 60m hurdles
in March, Kerron Clement announced his goal for the year: new
US high school records for both 300m and 400m hurdles. He took
a big step in that direction with his 35.42 victory in the Texas
5A regionals. That was the US#3 all time performance, just 0.10
behind the record (35.32 George Porter 1985).
Clement already holds the US#2 all time mark at
400H, having beaten Kenneth Ferguson last summer in 49.77 a week
after Ferguson set the record of 49.38 at the World Junior Championships
in Jamaica.

"I think I'll just bask in this a while,"
Ari Lambie said after winning the Penn Relays mile in stunning style
in 4:42.21. A reporter had asked if she would set a new season goal,
now that her original goal of 4:45 had been blown away. Also blown
away was a venerable Penn Relays record of 4:49.2 set by then-freshman
Kim Gallagher in 1979 (Penn ran 1500 meters instead of a mile from
1980 to 1997).
If Lambie really wants some new goals, she could look
up Kim Gallagher's other records. The Pennsylvanian, who died several
months ago of cancer, holds the US high school records at 800m (2:00.07)
and 1500m (4:16.6) and is second in the mile (4:36.94). Lambie expects
to run the mile at AOC Raleigh and the 1500 at the USA Junior Nationals
at Stanford.
In her basking mood for the moment, though, Lambie
noted that fellow Stanford-bound Amanda and Katy Trotter led Red
Bank NJ to victory in the distance medley just before Lambie's mile.
"I think we represented Stanford pretty well."
