1999 Junior Nationals

Women's 400 meters

Pictures and commentary by Doug Speck

Another great race would take place here. California prep rivals Monique Henderson and last year's champ and World Junior runner-up at 52.09, Nakiya Johnson, would meet once again, with UNLV's Michelle Davis 52.55, Virginia prep Faith Rein, and others along for the ride. Michelle Davis took Heat one at 53.18 over amazing eighth grader (!) Jerrika Chapple 53.83, with Monique Henderson 54.22 over Faith Rein 54.54 in Heat 2, with Nakiya Johnson 53.75 to take Heat three. 

In the Finals Michelle Davis took things out, with Nakiya Johnson favoring a big build over the final 300 in recent races, pushing towards the lead at the 200 mark. Monique Henderson, who runs Cross-Country in the Fall, really runs the third 100 hard, as she did here, taking over the lead as the race came into the straightaway. Henderson never looked back, finishing in 51.96, making her the #9 High School performer ever. The national soph record is 51.70 by Denean Howard, an eventual Gold Medalist for the U.S. in the Olympics in the 4x400 relay. Amazingly, the eighth grader Jerrika Chapple was 3rd at 53.19, but was disqualified for a lane violation.
