in 57.27 seconds while 2005 World Youth champion Ebony Collins (Los
Angeles, Calif.) took second in her heat in 57.35. "I felt great," Leach
said. "My legs felt great, everything is good. The track is fast,
the weather is good, it is all helping me." Both Leach and Collins
have qualified for Wednesday's semi-final race.
St. Augustine's standout Joe Kindred cleared every height on his first
attempt on his way to a personal best 2.18 meters/7 feet 1.75 inches
in the opening round of the men's high jump. "It went well tonight,
my goal here is to medal and that's what I am going to try to do in
the final on Thursday," said Kindred.
2006 NCAA champion Rebekah Noble (Spokane, Wash.) crossed the line
in second place in heat one of the opening rounds of the women's 800
meters, running 2 minutes 8.97 seconds while University of Florida
freshman Shannon Leinert (Gainesville, Fla.) took fifth in heat three,
finishing in 2:07.24. Noble and Leinert advance to Wednesday's semi-final.
2006 U.S. Junior 5,000m champion Andrew Bumbalough (Brentwood, Tenn.)

in heat one in 10 minutes 22.85 seconds and 2006 U.S. Junior runner-up
Amy Fowler took fourth in heat two in 10:18.54. "I never thought
I would be in the top four (in her heat) here," said Fowler. "It
felt good, I'm excited for the final."
In other action at the track, 2006 U.S. Junior runner-up Jere Summers
(Oakland, Calif.) and 2006 World Youth discus bronze medalist Kamorean
Hayes (Charlotte, N.C.) each took ninth place in their flights of the
women's shot put with their heaves of 14.34 meters/47 feet 0.75 inches
and 14.83m/48-8, respectively. 2006 U.S. Junior champion Bo Taylor
(Newport Harbor, Calif.) was 11th in Group A of the men's discus with
his throw of 52.96m/173-9. 2006 U.S. Junior champion Bekah Stoltz (Saugerties,
N.Y.) took 12th in the women's javelin with her heave of 41.99m/137-9.

N.C.) was seventh in heat five in 1:55.46. Ke'Nyia Richardson (Oakland,
Calif.), the 2006 U.S. Junior triple jump champion, leaped 12.97m/42-6.75
for thirteenth place. Running in heat three of the men's 1,500m, 2006
U.S. Junior champion A.J. Acosta (Oceanside, Calif.) crossed the line
in eighth place in 3:50.11 after a fall coming off the second turn
of the first lap.
In the men's 100 meters, 2006 U.S. Junior champion Willie Perry (Lenoir,
N.C.) won heat six of the opening rounds of the men's 100 meters in
10.58 seconds while University of Kentucky freshman Gordon McKenzie
(Queens, N.Y.) took third in heat one in 10.74. In the semi-final round,
after two-false starts, Perry shot out of the blocks hard and pulled
up at the end to cross the line in seventh at 10.64. "My left
hamstring tightened up today, but I felt good so I came out anyway," said
Perry. "I was ok after the first false start, but after the second
one it started to tighten again so I backed off (at the end of the
race)."
World Junior Champs, Day 1 - AM session summary - IAAF
Tuesday 15 August 2006
Beijing, China - The first session of the 11th IAAF World Junior Championships
spun to a world class start this morning in hot and sunny conditions
in the Chaoyang Sport Centre in the Chinese capital, when 19-year-old
Estonian Margus Hunt in round one of the men’s Discus Throw (1.750kg)
qualification (Group A) launched his implement to 66.35m, a World Junior
record*.
The Estonian’s release obliterated the standing mark of Egypt’s
Omar El-Ghazaly (65.88m, 7 July 2003).
Hunt, who celebrated his 19th birthday on 14 July this year, won the 2005 European
Junior (62.19m) title last year in Kaunus and ended that season with a personal
best and national junior record of 62.21m. He had previously twice improved
his national junior record this year, and coming into these championships had
a career best with the 1.750kg Discus of 64.32m (Tallinn on 6 July) with which
he won his national junior championships.
“I didn’t expect a World record today,” confirmed
an elated Hunt who was a sixth place finisher at these championships
in 2004. “I am surprised it came so early. I hope I can do the
same tomorrow (in the final).”
It would be a real surprise if Hunt’s hope is not fulfilled
as the nearest qualifier to him today, also in Group “A” was
Russia’s Nikolay Sedyuk with 60.43m. Heading qualifying group “B” was
Romania’s Mihai Grasu with 58.38m.
Women’s Shot - All the top names through
Topping out the women’s Shot Put was another European medal
hope, The Netherlands’ Melissa Boekelman with a release of 16.47m
but this event is not so clear cut with all the rest of the major players
from this year’s world season list including the three girls
ahead of her this summer - German Denise Hinrichs (16.10m) and the
Chinese Yingpan Liu (16.35m) and Li Li (15.69m) – all qualified.
Also in the hunt for gold in tonight’s final will be World Youth
champion Simoné Du Toit of South Africa (15.46m) who was the
last of the automatic qualifiers (those over 15.40m).
British sprinters firing on all cylinders
Its very early in the men’s and women’s 100m sprints, with the
semi-final stage coming this evening, Great Britain’s Wade Bennett-Jackson
running a PB of 10.33 seconds in heat four of this morning’s ten first
round races was the fastest qualifier. His compatriot the World Youth champion
Harry Aikines-Aryeetey was the fourth quickest of the morning (10.45). Incidentally,
Bennett-Jackson's great aunt is Olympic sprint medallist Grace Jackson.
Jamaica’s in form Remaldo Rose, the second fastest this summer
(10.29) was also the second quickest here with a 10.40 clocking, while
Australia’s Aaron Rouge-Serret was the real surprise speeding
to the third fastest time of 10.43, which demolished his personal best
of 10.60, and his 2006 fastest of 10.71. World season’s leader
Willie Perry of the USA was well back in terms of overall time but
was a comfortable winner of heat 7 in 10.58. Wind readings for the
10 heats were all assisting ranging form +0.1 m/s to +1.5m/s.
Anderson on course for title
USA’s Alexandria Anderson, Perry’s compatriot and the
fastest junior women’s sprinter this year, by contrast matched
her position in the opening round of the 100m. Anderson who has a personal
best of 11.12 for this summer, sped to 11.35 win in heat 1, though
was pressed hard home by Jamaica’s Carrie Russell (11.36 PB).
The heat 5, heat 6, and heat 4 winners respectively Tezdzhan Naimova
of Bulgaria (11.43), USA’s Gabby Mayo (11.43) and Lithuania's
Lina Grincikaite (11.45 PB) were the next fastest overall.
Long Jump – firm Chinese gold medal hopes
A national junior record for Ecuador’s Hugo Chila (7.63m) was
the fourth best mark of the men’s Long Jump qualification but
as with the women’s dash the leading qualifier was this season’s
best athlete, in this case China’s Xiaoyi Zhang. This 17-year-old
marvel who leapt to an Area record of 8.17m on 23 April in Chongqing,
and last month won the Asian Junior title, today flew to a 7.83m best.
His nearest challenger for tomorrow night’s final would seem
to be USA’s Antone Belt who jumped 7.73m this morning, and has
a best of 7.85m this year. However, Australia’s Robert Crowther,
who with a 7.99m PB is this year’s second best junior, was a
confident automatic qualifier with 7.61m.
Another 17-year-old top qualfier today was Sudan’s World Youth
champion Nawal El-Jack whose 52.49 run to head the women’s 400m
first round qualifiers was impressive. But this is by no means a definitive
indication of where the gold is heading this week. Also running with
relative ease in the scorching sunshine was Jamaica’s Sonita
Sutherland, the year’s quickest (51.13 PB), who was the only
other runner under 53 seconds this morning with a time of 52.88.
45.91 wows
Trinidad and Tobago’s Renny Ouow of course wowed with his 45.91
in the men’s 400m which took the first heat victory and pulled
second placed Julius Kirwa of Kenya to a 46.23 personal best but while
marginally slower all the other heat winners also looked comfortable.
Great Britain’s Martyn Rooney, the year’s fastest (45.35
PB) was the third quickest overall of the eight heats, when winning
heat 3 in 46.25. Also looking relaxed was USA’s Justin Oliver
whose 46.86 took the last heat.
The women’s Hammer Throw seems to be going to form like so many
events on the first morning. The season’s two best athletes Russia’s
Anna Bulgakova (67.79m) and Romania’s Bianca Perie (66.65m),
respectively topped Groups “A” and “B” of the
qualification round with 60.49m and 63.16m efforts. The top-two Chinese
are also among the 12 qualified for the final Zheng Wang (59.28m) and
Shuai Hao (60.79m), with Moldavia’s Zalina Marghiev (59.71m)
throwing well.
Collins beaten but qualified
USA junior champ and fastest in the world this year Nicole Leach (55.35)
won the third of four qualifying heats of the women’s 400m Hurdles
in 57.27, but it was Nigeria’s Ajoke Odumosu who was the overall
quickest topping out the fourth and final heat in 57.11, beating World
Youth champion Ebony Collins (USA) into second place (57.35), who was
also a qualifier. Jamaica’s Kaliese Spencer set the pace for
the day winning the first heat in 57.49. Her compatriot Sherene Pinnock
was the winner of the second qualifying race (57.39).

World Junior Champs, Day 1 - PM session summary
Tuesday 15 August 2006
Beijing, China - The first two titles at the 11th IAAF World Junior
Championships were decided in this evening’s session bringing
joy to the Netherlands’ Melissa Boekelman and China’s Fei
Xue in the Chaoyang Sport Centre.
World season lead as Boekelman bags gold
The Netherlands’ Melissa Boekelman made it two ‘wins’ in
a day, following up this morning’s qualifying round 16.47m lead in the
women's Shot Put with a mighty 17.66m heave to destroy the hopes of her rivals
in the very first round of this evening’s final. Going last of the twelve
finalists the 17-year-old blasted out a new personal best improving by 81cm
on her 16.85m (29 July 2006). The winning mark was also a 2006 World junior
season lead.
That effort killed the competition. Round two saw a solid response
by German Denis Hinrichs (17.35m) which secured silver, while we had
to wait another session of throws before Russia’s Irina Tarasova
with a personal best of 17.11m ultimately took bronze. World Youth
champion Simoné Du Toit was fourth with 16.95m.
Xue surprises with first gold for hosts
At the beginning of tonight’s competition programme an information sheet
was distributed on the press tribune confirming details of the medal winners’ press
conference schedule for the evening. At the bottom of the sheet we were informed
that the programme might change should “unexpected Chinese medallists
appear.” Well, you wouldn’t exactly class Fei Xue winning a medal
in the women’s 5000m as unexpected, as with a 2006 best of 15:38.66 she
was the third fastest on the entry list, but the colour of the award, gold,
was certainly an unexpected turn-up.
With Ethiopia fielding the two fastest women of 2006 – Workitu
Ayanu (14:50.51) and Wude Ayalew Yimer ( 14:57.23) – it seemed
certain that gold would go east Africa’s way, and even when their
ambitions faltered the African continent’s honour looked set
to be upheld by Kenya’s Florence Jebet Kiplagat, who entered
the final straight in the lead.
However, Xue, who had made up a lot of ground on the final bend, was
not to be denied, and as the Chinese and Kenyan embarked on a dramatic
shoulder to shoulder battle down the final 80 metres of the race, the
greater resolve was with the home girl. With less than 10m to go, the
Kenyan’s legs faltered and the victory went to China. The sparse
array of spectators – the stadium had been full to capacity only
an hour or so before during a spectacular opening ceremony – applauded
loudly to greet a home winner (15:31.61).
Just behind, Kiplagat took second (15:32.34) and compatriot Mary Wacera Ngugi
the bronze (15:36.82). All the medallists set personal bests.
Anderson and Aikines-Aryeetey seem firm bets
The semi-finals of the sprints presented clear favourites for the
two 100m titles to be decided tomorrow. USA’s Alexandria Anderson
(11.51) looked serene in the women’s dash, and there was a show
of confident exuberance from Britain’s Harry Aikines-Aryeetey
(10.38) in the men’s 100m. The Briton’s task was made easier
by the hamstring injury being carried by the season’s fastest
junior Willie Perry of the USA, who when he felt another twinge pulled
up in the third of three semi-final heats, finishing seventh and last
(10.68).
More Chinese gold on the horizon?
Leaping to the top of the High Jump qualifiers was local hero Haiqiang
Huang of China, the World Youth champion who has a personal best and
Area Junior record of 2.28m. Today he was one of ten men clearing the
automatic mark of 2.18m to gain entry to the final on Thursday (17),
but also with him was Israel’s Niki Palli, who as the world season’s
junior leader with a personal best of 2.30m has all the credentials
to upset the expected Chinese celebrations. This should be an interesting
duel.
Germany provided the best throwers of both qualification groups in
the women’s Javelin, thanks to Vivian Zimmer (56.15m) and Sandra
Schaffarzik (53.44m). Vira Rebryk of Ukraine was the second overall
best thrower (55.61m), and both of China’s hopes, Lingwei Li
(53.99m) and World Youth champion Li Zhang (52.20m), who lead the season’s
lists, were also among the automatic qualifiers.
There were also first round heats of the men’s 1500m which saw
reigning World Junior champion Abdelati Iguider of Morocco qualify
well, second in his race in 3:50.23.
There was a championship record in the women’s 3000m Steeplechase
first round from Mekdes Bekele Tadese of Ethiopia, who clocked 9:46.67,
improving on Kenyan Gladys Kipkemboi’s 9:47.26, a time set when
winning the inaugural title at this distance in Grosseto 2004.
Interestingly the winner of the first heat (1:49.12) of tonight’s
men’s 800m first round was David Rudisha, son of Daniel, 61,
one of the members of the Kenyan Olympic 4x400m winning quartet from
Munich in 1972. The fastest qualifier was the final race winner, heat
five’s Abraham Chepkirwok of Uganda (1:45.97). Britain’s
Emma Jackson headed the women’s two lap first round with a 2:05.68
PB win in the second heat.
