G-Mile:
Stanford-bound Bromfield MA sr Ari Lambie needs a new goal after smashing
her season target (4:45) as well as the Penn Relays and Franklin Field
records. The race made Lambie the 8th fastest US miler ever, just
behind Mary Decker's 4:42.0 in 1973. Lambie took control with a big
surge near the end of lap 2 and won decisively over Nike Indoor champion
Sarah Bowman of Virginia 4:48.69. Lambie said she
will set her sights on faster times in the June post season meets
(AOC Raleigh and the USA Junior Nationals at Stanford). Bowman, who
has rarely been headed in a sparkling sophomore season, led until
Lambie took over and rallied for second after slipping briefly behind
Meaghan Owen of Connecticut, who was third in 4:50.58.
Splits (from Jim Spier): Sarah Bowman 70.0, Lambie 2:25.7, Lambie
3:35.2, and Lambie 4:42.21. Lambie negative split 2:25.7 and 2:16.5,
with last two quarters run in 67 and 69.5. |
