The United States collected four medals during the evening session to push its total to 18 after three days of track and field competition. The U.S. men have earned 10 medals, including three gold. The U.S. women have collected eight medals including four gold. The men’s pole vault was postponed Thursday night because of thunderstorms and will be held at 4:30 p.m. Friday. The women’s high jump was moved back to a 7:30 p.m. (EST) start on Friday. Standing in second place, Kreiner threw the javelin 199 feet 8 inches on her last attempt to overtake leader Laverne Eve of the Bahamas while becoming the first American to win the event at the Pan American Games since Sherry Calvert won the gold in Mexico City, Mexico in 1975. The winning throw bettered the American record of 199-1 by Kreiner in Rheinfelden, Germany last year. “It feels odd being in this spot,” said Kreiner, who was runner-up in the 2002 and 2003 USA Outdoor Championships. “I have been trying to peak for this (Pan American Games) and the worlds. I have thrown about 61 meters in practice so I knew could throw that far. It was just a matter of putting all the pieces together in one throw. “It felt effortless. As soon as I let it go, I knew it was a new record.” Cuba’s Adriana Munoz clipped Mary Jayne Harrelson (Blacksburg, Va.) at the wire to win the women’s 1,500 in 4: 09.57 to 4:09.72. Harrelson, who was sixth at the 2003 USA Outdoor Championships, grabbed the lead with 200 meters left before Munoz caught up with 25 meters left. It ended a string of four straight Pan American Games in which a U.S. woman had won the gold medal in the 1,500. Anthony Famiglietti (Medford, N.Y.) picked up a bronze medal in the men’s 3,000 steeplechase being clocked in 8:40.22. Teammate Tom Chorny (Santa Monica, Calif.) finished fourth in 8:45.35. Daniel Browne (Portland, Ore.) climaxed the night for the Americans by finishing third in the men’s 10,000 in 29:06.23 to earn a bronze medal. Meanwhile, 17-year-old high school phenom Allyson Felix (Los Angeles, Calif.) advanced into the finals of the women’s 200 by winning the first semifinal heat in 22.92. Crystal Cox (Chapel Hill, N.C.) also advanced into the finals with a 23.30 clocking in the second semifinal heat. Felix owns the fastest women’s outdoor 200 time in the world this year of 22.11 en route to winning the Grand Prix Banamex in Mexico City on May 3. Kenny Brokenburr (Raleigh, N.C.), who was fourth in the 2003 USA Outdoor Championships, posted the fastest qualifying time in both the preliminary and semifinal heats of the men’s 200-meter dash. Running in lane one, Brokenburr won heat two in the preliminary round in 20.66 and came back to win the first semifinal heat in 20.43. Erick Wilson (Opa-Locka, Fla.) finished second in heat two of the preliminary round in 21.10. But he failed to advance out of the semifinal round after finished third in second heat of the semifinal heat at 21.23 Mitch Potter (Minneapolis, Minn.) and Adam Steele (Eden Prairie, Minn.), who will be seniors at the University of Minnesota, advanced into Friday’s finals of the men’s 400. Potter, who was fifth in the 2003 USA Outdoor Championships, had the second fastest qualifying time in the semifinal round of 45.62. Steele was clocked in 45.83 in the first semifinal heat. Me’Lisa Barber (Columbia, S.C.) and Moushaumi Robinson (Columbus, Ohio) each advanced into Friday’s finals of the women’s 400. Robinson had the third fastest qualifying time overall of 52.23. Tiffany Lott (Pleasant Grove, Utah) grabbed the first-day lead in the heptathlon with 3,636 points after winning the 100 hurdles and high jump. Missy Vanek (Lafayette, Calif.) withdrew from the heptathlon during the high jump after suffering a strained right hamstring. She had cleared 5-6 before suffering the injury. Earlier in the morning, reigning U.S. champion James Parker (Great Falls, Montana) and John McEwen (North Canton, Ohio) finished second and third, respectively, in the men’s hammer throw. It marked the first time the U.S. has won two medals in the men’s hammer throw at the Pan American Games since 1975 when John Powell and Julian Morrison finished first and second in Mexico City. “Technically, I wasn’t all there but this was one of my better meets of year,” said Parker, who had a mark of 244 feet 6 inches. “I wasn’t 100 percent physically.” McEwen, who won the 2001 and 2002 USA Indoor 35-pound weight throw champion, recorded a throw of 234-6. He finished second behind Parker at the 2003 USA Outdoor Championships. “I never recovered from the flight here but I have enjoyed the
experience and love the country here,” added Parker, a second lieutenant
in the U.S. Air Force. “I am glad I got to represent the United
States.” Results - Day 3 Morning results FINALS Men's Hammer Throw - 1. Juan Cerra, Argentina, 247-9 (75.53); 2. James Parker, USA (Great Falls, Mont.), 244-6 (74.35); 3.
