*** Mike Kennedy's Day 2 recap ***
Ashley Owens, Jasmine Baldwin
spark Team USA 1-2 sweep in 100!

Photo by PhotoRun
California's Jasmine Baldwin (left, in 11.34) and Colorado's Ashley Owens (right,
in 11.13) led the American sweep of the top two places! Australia's Sally McLellan
was third in 11.40. In the summary below, Mike Kennedy tells us of the contrast in
starts between the Americans: Owens smoked the blocks and Baldwin was nearly last!

Women

100 METERS
Final

It just keeps getting better and better for Ashley Owens (U.S., Liberty HS, Colorado Springs, Colo.). First it was the national high school indoor record of 7.19 for 60 meters last February and now in the World Junior Championship final where she again used her patented rocket start to take a commanding lead and win easily in 11.13 with an legal aiding wind of +1.5 meters per second, to become equal second fastest performer with equal second fastest performance in high school history. Only Angela Williams (Chino HS, Ca.) at 11.11 has run faster. Owens’ mark equaled the second best time in high school history set by Chandra Cheeseborough (Ribault HS, Jacksonville, Fl.) in 1976. Despite Owens’ rocket start it was Sally McLellan of Australia with the fastest start, 0.139 to 0.142. At the other end of the spectrum Jasmine Baldwin (U.S., Bishop Amat HS, La Puente, Ca.) and the second worse reaction time (0.19.2) that left her near the back of the pack. By 50 meters, Baldwin found herself in fifth place, but over the final 40 meters she was moving faster then anyone in the field and as a result she got up for second in 11.34 just one one-hundredth of a second off her personal best. McLellan finished third in a personal best of 11.40 and Wanda Hutson of Trinidad was fourth in 11.45.

Quotes:
Ashley Owens (World Junior 100m champion) UNLV-bound: - "This is really cool actually to win my first world championship after finishing fourth at Pan Am Juniors (Championships). At the start, I focused on my cue, which was all I could think about, after that everything felt natural as it always happens. This was a good closure to my high school career. I really trained hard and excited to get a PR without the wind. I want to thank my coach for hounding me to practice."

Jasmine Baldwin (World Juniors 100m silver) Mt. SAC College-bound: "I was excited, I did not have much faith in myself, but in the end I came out here to get a medal. I want to give some credit to my dad and those who believed in me. It is great for Ashley (Owens) and I to go 1-2."

Nicole Leach (400mH) West Catholic High (Phila, Pa.): -- "I was nervous. I tried to get out first in the first 200 meters when normally I sit back, and pick it up at 150 meters. I just kept it going. The race felt easier since I got such an early start. It felt like the hurdles weren't there. My focus is to clear all the hurdles and to help bring another medal for USA and represent Philly to the fullest."

Christina Smith (400mH) Tennessee: -- "My race was ok. I got out to a good start, but I did not finish well. Most of my hurdles were good until I messed up on the seventh and eighth hurdles and I should have kept pushing, but I was too relaxed."

POLE VAULT
Top 12 Qualify for Final

Jenny Green (U.S., Nebraska, Grand Island HS, Nb.), vaulting in Group B, did not get off to good start, when first her vault poles never arrived in Gorsetto and then she flirted with disaster at the opening height of 12-3 1/2 where she missed twice before clearing. Things began to look up for Green with a first time clearance of 12-7 ½ but then she missed three times at 12-11½. However, her first try clearance at 12-7 ½ was good enough to place her tied for eleventh overall that qualified her for the final. Stevie Marshalek (U.S., Washington, Kentlake HS, Kent, Wa.) vaulting in Group A was having even more trouble than Green, clearing 11-9 ¾ on her second attempt but then went out at 12-3 ½. Eight vaulters cleared 12-11½, including the 2003 World Youth Champion Elizaveta Ryschich of Germany, Elena Scarfpellini of Italy, Anna Schultze of Germany and Yinguing Zhao of China, all of whom had no misses.

Jenny Green (Pole Vault) Nebraska:  -- "I had to jump on someone else's pole today. The pole I started on was the lightest I have ever jumped on, which caused difficulties. I never got up in warm-ups. I cleared the first height on my third attempt, which made me nervous. Once I cleared that height, I gathered myself and just worried about jumping to make the finals. It wasn't pretty but I got the jump done. I have my poles now, and will be ready for Friday. Without my poles, I have not been able to practice since I've been here. It's a great experience to be with vaulters that come from all over the world."

Melissa Faubus (U.S., Centennial HS, Bakersfield, Ca.) unleashed a clutch throw of 156-4 in the third round to move her into eighth place and give three more throws. Although she improved to 159-2 in the fifth round, she remained in eighth just behind Vaslysa Zelenska of Ukraine, who threw 160-0. Yu Wang of China opened with a throw of 189-9 and that ended up being the winning performance. Darya Pishchalnikova of Russia, in fourth with just one throw remaining, hit 188-2 to move into second. Nadine Muller of Germany, who had been in second with a throw of 187-2, almost reclaimed second place with a final throw of 187-5, but finished in third.

Men
100 METERS
Final

Both Ivory Williams (U.S., Central, Beaumont, and Tx.) and Demi Omole (U.S., Wisconsin, Dominican HS, Whitefish Bay, Wi) had great starts, but it was Yahya Al-Gahes of Saudi Arabia, the 2003 World Youth Champion, who had the lead at 50 meters just barely ahead of Omole. Williams, despite the good start, found himself in fourth place with just 40 meters left. Over the final 30 meters, Omole overtook Al-Gahes, but it was Williams who grabbed the attention of the crowd as he shifted gears and just blew by the entire field to win in 10.29 with a legal aiding wind of 1.0. Omole finished second in 10.31, Renaldo Rose of Jamaica was third in 10.34, Daniel Bailey of Antigua was fourth in 10.39 and Al-Gahes was fifth at 10.40.

I am very excited to win my first world title. I warmed up pretty good and stretched before the race because my hamstring was bothering me."

Demi Omole (World Juniors 100m silver) Wisconsin: -- "I got out as fast as I could. I was focused on getting my knees up to 90 degrees. Overall, it wasn't my best race, but excited to finish in the top two. The focus entering the race, was to get gold and silver and I'm happy to accomplish that goal."

LaShawn Merritt (400m) East Carolina-bound: --"I seen one athlete come from know where. I had another gear, and he was all the way out in lane eight. I was running with him and then he started picking up after the 200m curve. He must have run that home stretch hard. Once I was moving towards the finish, I saw him right there with me, so I accelerated once I got to the 120 meter mark which put out in front. If I knew that athlete was a finisher like that, I would have broke later maybe down the straightaway. I know I have the foot speed to do so."

Heat One—Davide Kleberson of Brazil took the early lead at 24.82 and led Elijah Kiprono Boit of Kenya and Thomas Matthys of Belgium through the half way point in 53.72. Michael Rimmer of Great Britain took the lead briefly at 600 meters in 1:22.03 but Selahattin Cobanoglu of Turkey went from third to first in the final 40 meters winning in 1:49.70. Bocar Kane of France was second in 1:49.86 and Boit was third in 1:49.98 and Rimmer fourth in 1:50.05.

Heat Two—Timothy Harris (U.S., Northwestern HS, Miami, Fl.) took the early lead and passed 200 in 25.43. Harris still was in contention at 400 just behind Diego Chargal Gomes of Brazil, who clocked 54.11. The race really picked up just before 600 meters (passed in 1:22.73), which is were Harris was suddenly shuttled from third to seventh. Alfred Kirwa Yego of Kenya and Majed Saeed Sultan of Qatar were the fastest over the final 100 as they went from fifth and sixth, respectively, to first and second in 1:49.02 and 1:49.53. Bonolo Maboa of South Africa was third in 1:49.53 and Kevin Hautcoeur of France was fourth in 1:49.58.

Uganda's Boniface Kiprop smashed Haile Gebresalassie's
meet record with a stunning 28:03.77 victory, winning by
less than a second over Tanzania's Fabiano Joseph!

10,000 METERS
Final

Boniface Kprrop of Uganda and Moses Mdiema Masai of Kenya passed 3,200 together at 9:02.25 before Kirrop just pulled away passing 5,000 meters in 13:53.69 and it was just a question whether he was going to be able to break Haile Gebresalassie’s meet record of 28:03.99 set in 1992. After Kirrop led the pace lag over the sixth and seventh kilometer, the record seemed much less likely but Joseph Fabiano of Tanzania was able to pull up on Kirrop and with the newly found competition Kirrop was severely pressed before winning in 28:03.78. Joseph was second in 28:04.45 and Ono Ryuji of Japan was third in 28:30.45. Keith Bechtol (U.S., William & Mary, Jefferson HS, Alexandria, Va.) was 19 at 31:45.99 and James Hower (U.S., Georgetown, Marion HS, Va.) did not finish, stopping a lap short.

First Three Plus Next Three Fastest Qualify For Final

Heat One—Moustafa Ahmed Shebto of Qatar, Nathan Kibet Naubei of Kenya and Said El Medouly of Morocco were clear of the field at 2,000 passed in 5:48.79 and the automatic qualifiers seemed to be set but suddenly El Medouly dropped out and interest picked up. Zolile Bhitane of South Africa had been alone in four and looked to be the third qualifier but Jayden Russ of Australia made a late charge to finish third in 8:52.36 behind Shebto’s 8:47.79 and Baubeu’s 8:47.98. Bhitane was fourth at 8:52.79. Derek Scott (U.S., Cornerstone College was ninth in 9:22.34.

Heat Two—Barnabus Kimwogo of Uganda controlled the early part of the race with surges and, along with Obaid Musa Amer of Qatar, were one-two for most of the race. Marcin Chamboski joined the top group with one lap remaining and finished second in 8:53.10, just behind Amer’s 8:52.90 and ahead of Kimwogo’s 8:53.22. Kyle Alcorn (Buchanan HS, University of Oregon) was near the back for the early stages of the race, but moved to seventh at two kilometers and then closed to finish fifth in 8:55.02, just off his personal best of 8:54.97 and one place behind Mandla Maseko of South Africa, who ran 8:53.76.

Heat Three—Ronald Kipchumba Rutto of Kenya, the 2003 World Youth 2000-meter steeplechase championship, had little trouble in qualifying, passing 2,000 meters here in 5:40.28 and winning in 8:35.51. Ezkyas Sisay of Ethiopia was second in 8:39.12. The battle for the final automatic qualifying spot came down to Said Tbibi of Morocco and Dieudonne Gahungu of Burundi, with Tibibi finishing just in front of Gahungu, 8:49.08 to 8:50.19.

LONG JUMP
Final

In the most exciting competition of these championships so far, Andrew Howe of Italy, who has an American mother who attended UCLA and an Italian father, defeated Godfrey Mokena of South Africa, 26-7 ¼ to 26-6 ½, with John Thornell of Australia third at 25-10½. The final order of finish was actually reflected in the first round, when Howe jumped 26-0 ¾, Mokena jumped 25-7 ¼ and Thornell jumped 25-3½, but there was incredible action that took place in the next five rounds. Thornell improved to 25-10 ½ in the third round to retain third with his best jump of the competition and Mokeona, also in the third round, took over the lead with a leap of 26-2¾. Howe then retook the lead in the fifth round with a winning effort of 26-7 ¼ , but he had a few anxious moments as Mokoena finished with jumps of 26-6 ½ and 26-5½.

That is something really cool about USA Teams - when someone does bad there is another teammate doing something that you can cheer on. It's a great experience for me to be here."
