Lindsay Allen New National Record - USATF Jr National Steeplechase

With differences in a number of items possible in a steeplechase event there has been some question as to what exactly is the National HS record in the 2000m Steeplechase event. Mr. James Field, a one-man promotion service for the Women's Steeplechase event, offered the following in regards to Lindsay's 6:47.03 for the Reebok Aggies last weekend in the USATF Jr Nationals:

Women 2000 Meter Steeplechase Junior

Name Year Team Finals

Finals
1 Angela Marvin Baylor 6:42.82
2 Kelly Siefker Indiana University 6:46.42
3 Lindsay Allen Reebok Aggie 6:47.03
4 Heather Iatauro unattached 7:01.36
5 Nelly Anderson James Madiso 7:11.07

James Fields has produced the Women’s Steeplechase Report for the past eight years. Although he has just begun an eight-week vacation he managed to respond, indicating that the race winner, Angela Marvin of Baylor, set a new junior (19 and under) record of 6:42.82 and Lindsay set a new high school record.

James Fields’ response:
“I am writing from a Flagstaff motel and generally have limited access to the Internet while "on the road."

Thanks for confirming water jump details at Jr. Women's race in Palo Alto. You probably noticed that I did not wait for those details past midnight EDT last Sunday to send the Steeple Report.

I had not realized Lindsay was a high school athlete; I believe she represented a club at nationals. As to HS record, the few who have run in the 6:50s did so with a short 3.06 water jump and no time under 6:50 has been reported for an American "junior" until last Sunday's race. So Lindsay is the best-ever HS steeple time for 2000m distance in the USA."

CONGRATS!!!
