Ebony Collins - Silver 100 (11.44) - Gold 400mH (55.96) - 2 PR's - What a meet!!!
The time is also the third best ever high school time best time behind
Leslie Maxie (Woodside, Ca.), who ran 55.20 in the U.S. Olympic
trials in 1984 and Lashinda Demus (Wilson, Long Beach, Ca.), who
ran 55.76 in 2001. The world youth record is the 55.20 run by Maxie.
Collins: "I really pleased myself during the race. I expected to run just below 56 seconds.
I made sure I had a clear view. As I run the 100m, I figured that I would have more speed
than the others. I was hoping to have someone next to me who would be able to push me
in the last 250m. I really had to push myself in the end".
IAAF Race description: "Collins took taking gold in a championship record and
year-leading mark of 55.96 with a
masterful display of hurdling."

Nellum: "Coming out of lane 1 takes a lot of energy. I passed the first curve very
comfortably, changed gear while in second and was fourth while entering the homestraight.
It's very exciting to bring a new medal to Team USA".
Chandy: "I had a great time and surprised that I made the top four.
I was happy just making the finals."
