Men
5,000 METERS
Final
Galen Rupp (Central Catholic, Portland, Or.) and Joshua
McDougal (Home Schooled, Peru, N.Y.) approached the race in very different
ways, but in the end the results were rewarding for both athletes. Rupp
remained in the lead pack passing 1,600 meters in 4:22.5 and 3,200 meters
in 8:45.1. He was able to maintain close contact with the nine runners
in the lead pack but then began to fall back, passing 4,800 (just short
of 3, miles) in 13:20.2 and holding on for 9th in 13:52.85. The time
ranks him third on the all-time high school list in back of Gerry Lindgren’s
13:44.0 set in 1964, Dathan Ritzenheim’s 13:44.70 set in 2001
and just in front of Steve Prefontaine’s hand time of 13:52.8
set in 1969. While Rupp chose to run with the leaders, McDougal started
in last place. However, once he got in rhythm he began to pick of the
runners, passing 1,600 in 4:26,5 in 17th place, going by 3,000 in 15th
with a time of 8:20.1 and passing 3,200 at 8:54.0 in 14th place. He
eventually climbed to 11th, passed 4,800 in 13:33.2 before finishing
in 14:07.55. That time ranks McDougal is the 10th fastest U.S. high
schooler of all time. In the competition for the medals, Augustine Choge
of Kenya, Bado Worku and Tariku Bekele, both of Ethiopia, Sultan Zaman
of Qatar, Boniface of Uganda and Fabiano Joseph of Tanzania, were all
closely grouped passing 1,000 meters in 2:45.34, 2,000 meters in 5:29.07,
3,000 meters in 8:10.21 and 4,000 meters in 10:59.66 before Choge broke
the race open with one lap remaining and went on to win in 13:28.93
followed by Worku in 13:30.45, Bekele in 13:30.86, Zaman in 13:32.33,
Kiprop in 13:33.18 and Joseph in 13:33.62.

110-METER HIGH HURDLES
Final
Aries Merritt (U.S., Tennessee, Wheeler HS, Marietta,
Ga.) and Kevin Craddock (U.S., James Logan, Union City, Ca.) were off
together and ran in tandem for the first three hurdles at which point
Craddock dropped back and Dayron Robles of Cuba began pulling up on
Merritt, reaching his shoulder by the eighth hurdle. However, Robles
was never able to head Merritt, who went on to win in 13.56. Craddock
began to make up round on Robles and they both touched down at the same
instant after the 10th hurdle. Both athletes had great dips at the finish
line and after a wait of two or three minutes, Robles was given second
as both were timed in 13.77. For Craddock it was the third best performance
in prep history. Lilu Liu of China was fourth in 13.96 and Rodrio Perreira
of Brazil was fifth in 14.10.

Final
Displaying three passes that few United States teams at
either the Junior or Senior legal have demonstrated in championships
meets, the American ‘s pushed the World Junior record to 38.66
breaking the old mark of 38.92, set by the United States in the 2002
World Junior championships in Kingston, Jamaica. Trell Kimmons (Clearwater,
Ms.) led off and passed without a hitch to Demi Omole (Wisconsin, Dominican
HS, Whitefish Bay, Wi.), who passed flawlessly to Ivory Williams (Central
HS, Beaumont, Tx.), who ran a great turn and slowed just slightly before
connecting cleanly with LaShawn Merritt (Tennessee, Wheeler HS, Marietta,
Ga.) and the rest, as the say, was history. Jamaica finished second
in 39.27, which ranks it as the seven best junior team of all time.

Final
After running 3:02.88 in the heats, it looked like the
United States had a real chance to break the World Junior record of
3:01.90, set by the U.S. in the First World Junior championships in
Athens in 1986. Brandon Johnson (UCLA, West Orange-Stark, Orange, Tx.),
second in the 400 intermediate hurdles, set the team up with an opening
leg of 45.3 but it was the 44.8 by LaShawn Merritt (Tennessee, Wheeler
HS, Marietta, Ga.) that made the record a real possibility. After Jason
Craig’s 46.1, it was to Kerron Clement (Florida, La Porte HS,
Tx.), the World Junior 400 hurdles champion. He needed to better 45.8
to get the record and this is exactly what he did, running 44.9 as the
U.S. smashed the record with a 3:01.09. South Africa was second in 3:04.50,
Japan third in 3:05.33, Brazil fourth in 3:05.44 and Great Britain was
fifth at 3:07.02.

TRIPLE JUMP
Final
At the end of the first round, Shujing Zhu of China was
leading and Godfrey Mokoena of South Africa and Viktor Kuznetsov of
Ukraine were tied for second at 54-4 ½. Mokoena took the lead
in the third round at 54-8 ¾ and improved to 55-0 ¼ in
the fourth round, which proved to be the winning mark. Neither Zhu or
Kuznetzov improved after the first round but neither did anyone else
in the field (except Mokoena), so they earned the Silver and Bronze
medals.

Ehsen Hadadi of Iran opened with a 187-5 in the first
round to sit sixth behind Luka Rujevic of Serbia Montanegro, who was
leading at 195-6. Hadadi moved to second in the second round with a
194-1 and then took over the lead with a 196-10 in the third round before

to 197-9 in the third round and that was good enough for second. Oleg

to be out of medal contention until the final round when he threw 196-3,
which was good enough to win the b bronze medal.

Final
Ashley Owens (Liberty HS, Colorado Springs, Colo.), who
had a much better start than she did in the first round, handed off
smoothly to Juanita Broaddus (Barton College, Kn.) and the United States
was with leaders Jamaica and France. Broaddus gave a little away and
ran up slightly on Jasmine Baldwin (Bishop Amat HS, La Puente, Ca.),
who recovered to run a strong turn and leave Shalonda Solomon (Poly,
Long Beach HS, Ca.) one-half step behind Jamaica as she entered the
final straight. Solomon then pulled away from Schillonie Calvert of
Jamaica to give the U.S. the win, 43.49 to 43.63. A critical factor
in the win may have been that Owens reaction time was 0.144 seconds
and Nickesha Anderson got off in 0.249 seconds. The winning time make
the United States squad the fifth fastest junior team of all time.

Andrea Anderson (Morgan Park HS, Chicago) open with a
53.1 leg that left her even with Victoriya Talko of Russia but after
that the only question was, could the American break 21-year old World
Junior record of 3:28.39 set by East Germany in 1983. Ashley Kidd (Georgia
Tech, St. Petersburg HS, Fl.) quickly opened 20 meter lead with a 51.6
carry, passed to Stephanie Smith, who for the second straight day had
the teams’ fastest split, this time 51.0 then hand off the World
Junior 400 champion Natasha Hastings (A.P. Randolph, N.Y.C., N.Y.),
who began slowly but built her speed down the final straight and finished
in 51.9 to give the U.S. the record. Russia moved past Jamaica in the
final straight, thanks to a 51.4 anchor leg by Katya Kostetskaya (Jonesboro
HS, Ark., 2003), the World Junior champion at 400 hurdles, to defeat
Jamaica, 3:30.03 to 3:30.37. The two teams now rank as fifth and sixth

HIGH JUMP
Final
Sharon Day (U.S., Cal Poly San Louis Obispo) opened the
competition with first time clearances at 5-8 ¾ and 5-10 ¾
before needing two tries at 6-0 ¼. She then flirted with disaster
at 6-1 ½ where she twice just knocked the bar off with her legs
before clearing on her third attempt. As the bar moved to 6-2¾,
Day was fifth among the six jumpers left in the completion. However,
when she went over on her first attempt she jumped into first place,
When only Iryna Kovalenko of Ukraine, who went over her first attempt,
and Svetlana Shkolina of Russia, who cleared on her second attempt,
were only other jumpers to negotiate a height, Day was assured of at
least the Bronze. That almost became a reality at 6-3 ¼ when
both Kovalenko and Shkolina went clear on their first attempts and Day
at to tantalizingly close missed. However, on her third attempt, Day
put it all together and got over cleanly to earn three more jumps at
6-4. Kovalenko got over on her third attempt, to win, and when Day,
with her best jump of the competition, barely knocked of the bar with
her heal on here final attempt, she finished third just behind Shkolina,
both at 6-3¼. Inika McPherson (Memorial HS, Port Arthur, Tx.)
cleared the opening height of 5-8 ¾ on her second attempt but
then missed three times at 5-10 ¾ to finish 11th.

Final Team Standings
The United States won the battle of medals defeating
Russia, 19 to 18 overall and 13 to 7 for gold medals but the Russians
won the points battle (where 8 places are scored), 167 to 166. Actually
it was a lot closer than that. In the 110 high hurdle finals, Kevin
Craddock of the U.S. and Daytro Robles of the Cuba were give the same
time of 13.77 but Robles was awarded second place and Craddock. U.S.
team officials did not ask for a photo reread although when the results
were being posted there was a several minute delay before second and
third place were posted. It is interesting to note that in the World
Youth (under 18) Championships last year in Sherbrooke (Canada), the
U.S. won the points race—by one point.
