Gotcher wins gold on Day 2!

U.S. teams (women captained by Angel Perkins) continue to dominate

“I got into my rhythm on the second lap and just wanted to stay in the middle. It was great to have some support here to win my first gold. Coming around the last 100m to see the U.S. fans cheer at the end was a big boost for me.” -- Brett Gotcher, PanAm Juniors 10k champ, Stanford redshirt in 2002, Aptos HS Class of 2001.

Pan American Junior Championships - Day 2 - July 19, 2003 - by Jim Spier - National Scholastic Sports Foundation

Memorial Stadium, Waterford, Barbados

Men

100m
Who is Churandy Martina? The Netherlands Antilles athlete surprised everyone (especially the Americans) with a magnificent last 10 meters, running a windless 10.33. (He is scheduled to attend college in the US). Kenny O’Neal (USA - Skyline, Oakland, CA) was second in 10.42 and Tesfa Latty (Jamaica) was third (10.47). Junior Champ Carlos Moore (Mt. SAC) was nipped for fourth by Jorge Celia Sena of Brazil, with both running 10.49.

800m
Michael Mc Grath (USA - Lincoln, Portland, OR) battled with the lead pack for much of the race but could not hold off the Brazilian Thiago Perei Chyaromont and Simeon Bovell of Trinidad, who both with strong runs down the homestretch, took the gold (1:48.76) and silver (1:49.54). Mc Grath held on for third in 1:50.16, just edging teammate Michael Inge (Kent State) at 1:50.52.

High Jump
1. Keith Moffett USA 7-2.5
2. Mark Dillon Canada 7-0.5
3. Michael Morrison USA (Willingboro, NJ) 6-10.75

5 (tie) James Graymon Antigua 6-8.75
Olutola Fakenhinde Jamaica 6-8.75
Pedro Pineira Mexico 6-8.75
Carlos Mattis Jamaica 6-8.75

Keith Moffett continued his consistent year with a good win, jumping 7-2.5. Michael Morrison was off his usual form, managing only 6-10.75 for third. (We believe that the Jamaican Fakenhinde is the same athlete who recently graduated from Eastside Christian HS in Fullerton, CA).

Four of the top five were US high school graduates. Michelle Carter had little problem with the field, winning by almost six feet. Liz Podominick had an off day, well off her best, finishing fifth, though only 1.25 inches out of bronze medal contention. Zara Northover of Jamaica, now a student at Northeastern U., is a 2002 graduate of Sewanhaka HS (Floral Park, NY), and Jennifer Dahlgren of Argentina graduate in June from Klein HS in Texas.


BRIDGETOWN, Barbados – Team USA won total of 29 medals Saturday night at the Pan American Junior Championships at the Barbados National Stadium in Waterford, St. Michael. The event was broadcast live locally for the second day on the Caribbean Broadcasting Corporation’s Channel 8.

Ashton Collins and Jeremy Wariner intensified their Texas state rivalry providing an exciting photo finish men’s 400m dash. Collins of the University of Texas won in 45.59 seconds. “I was nervous because Jeremy (45.63) was running behind me in lane three and I was in lane four. He’s capable of beating me,” said Collins. “I had to run harder than usual because I could see Jeremy’s shadow around the 200m mark. I tried to stay relaxed when I shot off the curve. With five meters to go, I realized that I was accelerating while Jeremy was slowing down. From that point on, I knew I had him,” Collins continued.

“I wanted to get out strong the first 200m because Ashton my strongest competition was on the outside,” said Wariner. “I thought I had enough to hold off because I thought I was ahead, but I could not catch Ashton at the end. I look forward to my Big 12 (college) conference rematches with Ashton during the indoor season,” Wariner continued.

The University of South Carolina-bound Stephanie Smith ran 52.52 to win gold in the 400m while women’s team captain for Team USA, Angel Perkins ran 52.76 to win silver. “I just wanted to do my best, but winning was most important. I wanted to execute and make sure that Team USA finished first and second,” said Smith. “I think it is wonderful that we won gold and silver,” said Perkins. “I wanted to keep my normal strides and give it my all the last 40 to 50 meters,” Perkins continued.

The University of Arkansas-bound Keith Moffit won gold in the men’s high jump. The 6 foot 8 inch Virginia native cleared 2.20m/7-2.50. “I felt pretty comfortable and energized coming into the meet,” said Moffit. “I had to open up my stride because I knew this was a fast track. I had to keep my body from getting to far away from the bar.”

National high school shot put record holder Michelle Carter tossed 16.23m/53-3 to win gold in the women’s shot put. The University of Texas-bound Carter set a prep record last May of 16.73 meters/54 feet, 10.75 inches at the Texas State high school championships. UCLA’s Renee Williams leaped 6.19m/20-3.75 to win bronze in the women’s long jump.

Stanford University’s Brett Gotcher ran 30:39.51 to win gold in the men’s 10,000m. “I got into my rhythm on the second lap and just wanted to stay in the middle,” said Gotcher. “It was great to have some support here to win my first gold. Coming around the last 100m to see the U.S. fans cheer at the end was a big boost for me.”

2003 Washington State hammer throw prep champion, Nick Owens won silver in the men’s hammer throw. The University of North Carolina-bound Owens tossed 65.13m/213-8. “I just tried to launch out as far as I could,” said Owens. “My last performance was the best in my life, but I fouled by stepping on the line after I finished the throw. Overall, I really had a great performance today.”
