1999 Junior Nationals

Women's 1500 meters

Pictures and commentary by Doug Speck

A good group would battle here, led by the University of Wisconsin's Bethany Brewster (4:20.31), with Alejandra Barrientos (California prep) 4:45.02 in winning the California State Meet over 1600 meters early in the month. Barrientos moved out at the start, with Ohio prep Krisin Jumer (Centerville HS) and Virginia prep Kelley Ostott (Jefferson, Alexandria) ahead at 70.0 for the first 400. At 2:24.8 for the 800 Bethany Brewster took off, leading past the one lap to go point at 3:18.3, and 3:36.5 for the 1200. Over the final 200 Barrientos edged up, and rocketed past on the homestretch during a 67.1 final 400 that had her win 4:27.78- 4:28.13. 

Barrientos' finishing power is probably the most explosive by a prep since National Mile Record Holder Polly Plumer from back in the early 1980's, with that 4:35.24 mark among prep history's oldest standards from 1982. From a 2:30 800m runner last year Alejandra made amazing improvement under former Oregon prep Coach Rob Collins, fortunate enough to relocate for business in the Felton, California area with the time to donate to the prep runners at the local school.
