Men's 400m Intermediate Hurdles
Preview - prepared 7/11/06
(rt) Chris Carter has had a super
first year at BYU with Joe Greene
as impressive from the NY State University at Albany
Event Preview -
American Chris Carter (Brigham Young University) shocked with his first year
of college running, going from a 38.04 clocking (most US high schools
run the 300 meter intermediate (36' .914m) for the 300 Intermediates
last year while in high school to 49.19 for the full 400 meter distance
this year for third in the very competitive Division I National Collegiate
Championships. Carter has run at least six sub 50.50's this year
and appears very resilient. Josef Robertson of Jamaica has fine
credentials, with a 51.33 best from as far back as 2004 with a 50.24
and Carifta and National Junior Championship efforts this 2006 season. Joe
Greene (US), another with a short, impressive history in the event, was a
47.93 flat 400 runner and 23-08.75 (7.23m) Long Jumper as a high schooler
last year, with a 50.52 best in his first serious year in the 400 hurdles
and semi-final spot in the National Collegiate Champonships for his University
at Albany. National Junior Champs Stanislav
Melnykov (Ukraine) 50.73, Juan Bloem (South Africa) 50.78 at altitude,
and Yu Zipei (China) 50.88 in early July show fine potential, with 2005
World Youth Champ Abdulgadir Idriss (Sudan) (84 cm hurdles at 50.78)
had a 2005 best of 50.84 over the higher Intermediate barriers. This
will be a very deep and challenging event to secure a spot in the finals
with about ten others between 51.00 and 51.50 on the clock in the last
year!
