Event Preview -
This should be a very, very interesting event to see how it comes out, with a number of athletes with good credentials and similar clockings around the world in high level competitions!  American Champ Tiffany Ofili (13.37 wind legal 2006) was 13.15w to win the Junior title there, and was the US Big Ten Collegiate conference champ as a first year athlete at that level.  Christina Vukicevic (Norway) was fifth in the 2004 World Junior Meet at 13.58, with a runner-up effort at the 2005 European Jr competition (13.56), and a 13.52 2006 clocking.  Vernoica Borsil (Italy) was fourth in the 2005 European Junior meet at 13.74, with a 13.49 best from last year.  Youngster Natasha Ruddock (Jamaica 1989 birthdate) was 13.42w last year for second in the Jr Pan American meet, with a second in the World Youth Championships at 13.38 over the low hurdle height (76.2 cm) barriers used at that level.  Yekaterina Shtepa (Russia) was fifth in her nation's 2006 senior championships at 13.45, with the host nation's Wang Jindin 13.55 this season.  The list of possible medalists goes on and on here, with US Junior runner-up Shalina Clarke a 13.51 best at altitude and 13.38w for second in the US junior meet, and Kittiany Clarke (Jamaica) 13.65 to win her nation's 2006 Junior championship run.  Manuela Galtier (France) was 13.24 for the low height barriers at the World Youth Meet in 2005, with the 6.40 (21-00) long jumper a possible real talent here.
