how Mike Byrnes saw it:
ERICA WHIPPLE, West Palm Beach (USL-55m) emerged as the overwhelming
favorite in the absence of defending champion Alexis Joyce. Joyce suffered
a slight injury at the Simplot Games and coach Tony Wells stated, "If
she's not 100% we won't be there." She wasn't and they weren't.
Whipple's 7.48 led the way into the semis with DANIELLE BAILEY, Newark,
DE next, 7.66 and HALIMA DECREE, Bakersfield, CA (USL-50m) right there at
7.67 along with fellow Californian PORCHEA CARROLL, Oxnard turning in the
same time. The semis produced two new faces moving into contention, ADRENA
WILLIAMS, Berkeley, CA (7.57) and Detroit's LAUREN WILLIAMS (7.61) a time
matched by Decree but bested by Whipple (7.43) and Bailey (7.56).
Whipple again dominated the final with a PR 7.39 performance (#7-AT)
with Lauren Williams edging Bailey for the silver, 7.49 - 7.54. The three
Californians, Decree, 7.56, Carroll, 7.56 and Adrena Williams, 7.62
rounded out the medal winners.
