     HEAT NINE—Kirani James of Granada, the favorite to win the 400, was content to have the lead at 200 and he ran just hard enough to win in 21.18.  Keenan Brock (Carver, Birmingham, Al.), in lane six, and Nicholas Deshong of Barbados, in lane eight, battled for the final automatic qualifying spot with Brock prevailing with a personal best of 21.45 to Deshong’s 21.47.
    
    OTHER HEATS—In heat one, Masato Hayashi of Japan, in lane five, held a very small lead over Comfort Olugmebi of Nigeria, in lane four, entering the final straight, but he could not hold off Olgumebi, 21.96 to 21.98.  Victor Oseka of Kenya was third at 22.34.  In the next heat, Alberto Gavalda of Spain, in lane seven, and Kazunori Katsuyama of Japan, in lane two, entered the straight together before Gavalda was able to garner the win, 21.90 to 21.95.  Ka Fung Ng of Hong Kong was third at 22.28.  In heat three, Amiya Mallick of India, in lane five, had the lead halfway through the turn, but once the field entered the straight it was a battle between Xiang Huang of China in lane seven, and Moriba Morian of Trinidad and Tobacco, in lane eight.  Huang gained the advantage early and was never headed, 21.77 to 21.83. Mallick was third at 22.25.

In heat five, Leandro De Araujo of Brazil, in lane three, was the leader entering the straight and had little trouble maintaining a small margin over Adam Pawlowski of Poland, in lane six, 21.71 to 21.82.  Emirhan Pahlivan of Turkey was third at 22.14.  In heat six, Lester Ryan of Mauritania had the early lead in the turn, but he was quickly overtaken by Sam Watts of Britain and Kemar Bailey-Cole of Jamaica, who finished one-two, 21.61 to 21.99.  Ryan was third with a personal best of 22.06.  In heat seven, Carlos Rodiguez of Puerto Rico ran a very hard turn, but it was Johannes De Klerk, in lane two, who had the lead as the field straightened out and he won easily in 21.70.  Rodriguez held off Jose Vizuete of Spain, 21.96 to 22.10.  In heat eight, Juquan Tan of China, in lane five, was the leader coming out of the turn, but Yateya Kambepera of Botswana was close behind.  Tan went on to win in 21.86, with Kambepera second at 21.89 and Demitri Knowles of Bahamas third at 21.90.

       HEAT ONE—Hillary Yego of Kenya toyed with the field for the first three laps before surging away for a 5:34.13 win for the fastest Youth time in the world this year.  His last lap with the inside water jump was 62 seconds.  Desta Alemu of Ethiopia, who ran with Yego for three laps, was second at 5:37.31, followed by Isaac Chelimo of Burundi at 5:45.57 and Fawzi Bourouih of Algeria at 5:54.75.  Connor Martin (Westfield, In.) started slowly, falling back to 13th before picking up the pace and finishing in a non-qualifying 10th at 6:03.61.

       HEAT TWO—Peter Lagat of Kenya and Berhanu Shiferaw of Ethiopia were one-two for the three laps before Sliferaw took over on the home straight -- only to fall coming off a hurdle.  He recovered very quickly, but that was all the Lagat needed as he took off and won easily, 5:37.49 to 5:39.66.  His last lap was 62.89.  Abdellah Dacha of Morocco was third at 5:51.39, followed by Christopher Dulhanty of Canada at 5:57.29 and Guiseppe Gerratana of Italy at 5:58.63.  It took 5:59.91 to make the final.

Simone Martin of Canada, running in lane seven, had the lead coming out of the turn in heat 5 and was never in danger, winning at 24.78.  Yuka Yamamoto of Japan was second at 25.01 and Josephine Omaka of Nigeria was third at 25.07.  In heat seven, Allison Peter of Virgin Island, the runner-up in the 100, ran a very relaxed turn before pulling away in the straight to win in an amazingly easy 23.72.  Shaunna Thompson of Britain was second at 24.40 and Fany Charles of Dominica was third at 24.95.

Boys

400 Meters
Final


       Kirani James of Granada, in lane three, and Josh Mance (Chino Hills, Ca.), in lane four, were the top two qualifiers—and they ran like it.  Mance and James were both out well, but down the back straight James began to creep up on Mance.  Midway through the final turn, James pulled slightly ahead before running a booming final straight to win in 45.25 for the fifth fastest time ever run by a Youth.  Mance, though fading slightly over the final 80 meters, was timed in 46.22 for the second fastest Youth time in the world this year.  It also ranks fifth on the U.S. yearly high school list.  Awadelkarim Elyas of Sudan was third at 47.15 and Nathan Wake of Britain was fourth at 47.20.  James previewed this performance last year when he finished second in the World Junior (under 20) Championships in Poland.

Two Fastest Qualify for Final


      HEAT ONE—Dongquian Wang of China and Andrew Pozzi of Italy were out fastest, but Wang took command after the second hurdle and went on to win in 13.57.  In a battle for second, Jean Roberto Da Silva of Brazil just hung on to defeat Haris Koutras of Cyprus, who moved from fifth to third coming off the final hurdle, 13.75 to 13.76.  Pozzi was fourth at 13.82 and Cameron Hyde of Australia was fifth at 13.85.

      HEAT TWO—Dale Morgan (Taft, Woodland Hills, Ca.), with a reaction time of just 0.149 out of lane three, was off first, but he was pushed the entire way running a personal best of 13.55.  Gregor Traber of Germany, in lane one, was never worse than second and finished there in 13.59.  Gregory MacNeill of Canada was third and a time qualifier at 13.65.  Julian Santiago of Spain was fourth at 13.69.

      HEAT THREE—Jack Meredith of Britain had a great start, but the race was recalled.  Did it bother Meredith?  Not a bit.  He came back with a second great start and, despite a reaction time of 0.177, he dominated the race -- winning 13.42 for the best Youth time in the world this year.  Arnau Erta of Spain was second at 13.65 and Dario Vanderveken of Belgium was third and a time qualifier at 13.68. Kendall Hayes (Lancaster, Tx) was 5th with 13.76 and did not advance.

Final

     The major contenders, Dale Morgan (Taft, Woodland Hills, Ca.) and Jack Meredith of Britain, were next to each other in lanes five and six, respectively.  Meredith had the time advantage going in, 13.42 to 13.55, but Morgan appeared to have the best start -- although it was close.  Morgan did have a slight advantage after two hurdles, but Meredith would just not go away and it was only after the final hurdle and the sprint to the line that Morgan knew he had won, 13.28 to 13.33.  Gregory MacNeill of Canada was third at 13.51 and Arnau Erta of Spain was fourth at 13.69.  The U.S. has now won four straight gold medals in this event.
 
Hammer
Final


     Hongqui Chen of China opened up with a first-round throw of 245-10, for the best Youth mark in the world this year, and never looked back.  Tomas Kruzliak of Slovakia was second after the first round, at 236-9, and Suhrob Khodjaev of Tadjikstan was third at 221-6.  Evgeniy Korotovskiy of Russia moved into third in the second round with a throw of 223-2 and improved to 225-6 in the third round.

Alec Faldermeyer (Minisink Valley, Slate Hill, N.Y.) had a sector foul on his first attempt before a 218-11 that moved him into seventh place.  However, by the end of the second round, he had dropped to eighth place.  With one round remaining, he needed to place in the top eight earn three additional throws.  He did just that with a throw of 223-4 to move into fourth place.  Khodjaev, who had slipped to fifth, reclaimed third in the fourth round with a throw of 231-1 and then moved to second with a sixth round effort of 241-9.  Faldermeyer, despite improving to 228-9 in the fifth round, was passed by not only Khodjaev but by Huw Peacock of Australia, who connected on a 231-10 in the sixth round, to finish sixth.

Girls

400 Meters
Final


          Justine Palframan of South Africa, running in lane one, needed to get out well and she did just that, but it was Ebony Eutsey (Southridge, Miami, Fl.) who burned the back straight to take a large lead into the final straight and won in 52.88.  Michelle Brown (Seneca, Tabernacle, N.J.) was well placed in second coming off the final turn, but then had to hold off Sandra Wagner of Sweden, 53.44 to 53.52.  Palframan was fourth at 54.59 and Adeline Pastor of Romania was fifth at 55.59.  Three U.S. high schoolers took the final three spots, Chizoba Okodogbe of Nigeria and Deer Valley (Antioch, Ca.) was sixth at 56.01, Emmy Fraenk of Netherland Antilles and Bethel (Hampton, Va.) was seventh at 56.05, and Afia Charles of Atigua and Roosevelt (Greenbelt, Md.) was eighth at 56.09.
 

2,000-Meter Steeplechase
Final


     Like most Youth steeplechase races at this level, it came down to a battle between the Kenyans and the Ethiopians.  With two laps remaining, passed in 3:43.0, and an inside water jump, it was Korahubsh Itaa of Ethiopia, Lucia Muangi of Kenya, Halima Hassen of Ethiopia and Beatrice Kibor of Kenya in close attendance.  On the next lap, passed in 5:01.0, Kibor was dropped and then there were three.  Very soon, Itaa and Muangi made it a two person race.  With 100 meters remaining, Itaa had opened up a five-meter advantage, but coming off the final hurdle Muangi closed with a rush and almost caught Itaa, 6:11.83 to 6:11.90.  Itaa’s time was a new World Youth record, decimating the 6:21.78 of Catalina Oprea of Romania set in 2003.  Muangi now ranks No. 2 on the all-time list. 

Eleanor Fulton (Highlands Ranch, Co.) was in sixth for the entire race and finished in 6:37.31, to break her own national sophomore record of 6:41.77 set in the prelims, and also move to the No. 4 performer all-time high school history with the fifth fastest performance.  McKinzie Schulz (Benet Academy, Lisle, Il.) was in seventh or eighth for most of the race before dropping back to finish twelfth in 7:08.04. 


High Jump
Final


     Alessia Trost of Italy wowed the crowd when she became the only athlete to clear 6-1 ½, winning the gold medal with the best high jump in the world the year by a Youth.  Mariya Kuchina of Russia and Amy Pejkovic of Australia both cleared 6-0 ¾ on their first attempts, and both had a total of two misses to tie for the silver medal.  Alina Rotaru of Romania and Airine Palsyte of Lithuania both cleared 5-11 ½ on their first attempts, and had no misses, to tie for fourth. 

Shanay Briscoe (Cypress Christian,  Houston, Tx.) cleared 5-5, 5-7 and 5-8 ¾ on her first attempts but needed three tries at 5-10 ¾ before missing three times at 5-11 ½ to finish eighth.  Tara Richmond (Poly, Long Beach., Ca.) cleared 5-5 and 5-7 on her first attempts, missed once at 5-8 ¾ before clearing, and then had three misses at 5-10 ½.


Triple Jump
Final


       Yana Borodina of Russia was not ranked in the World Youth top ten this year, but you would never have guessed that after her first round jump of 44-8 ¾ that took the lead and moved her into the world lead.  The field would chase her for the rest of the competition.  Valeriya Kanatova of Uzbekstan, the former world leader at 44-5 ½, was second after the first round at 43-5 and Makela of Finland was third at 42-2.  Lina Deng of China moved to second in the second round with a 44-0 effort, and improved that in the third round to 44-6 ¼.  Kanatova improved to 44-1 ½ in the fifth round, but remained in third.

Ciarra Brewer (James Logan, Union City, Ca.) opened at 41-8 ¾, and improved to 41-9 ¾ in the second round, and improved again in the third round to 41-11 ½ to finish seventh after three rounds to earn three additional jumps.  In the fifth round, she improved again to 42-6 ¾, to move to sixth place, but eventually finished in seventh when Makela jumped 42-9 on her final attempt.
