Blazing start propels MVP Shana Cox to 23.85 200 meter win, and she wants more;
Hastings dominates 400 in US#1 55.35

1/5/02 at the New York Armory - a DyeStat on-site meet

by John Dye

Shana Cox says the Olympic Development camp she attended last summer helped with her start. It showed here as the Holy Trinity (Hicksville NY) junior faced a loaded 200 meter final field that included A.P. Randolph soph Natasha Hastings, who last year broke the freshman 200 meter record held by Marion Jones. Earlier in the day, Hastings blazed the 400 in 55.35, fastest of the young season in the US. The Armory seeds favor lanes 6 and 5 as they start high on the bank in the middle of the first turn. This race started with Hastings, top seeded with the fastest prelim time, in lane 6 and Cox in lane 5. When the gun fired, Cox exploded around the turn and made up the stagger on Hastings by the middle of the backstretch. By the top of the home stretch, the race was over. Holy Trinity sprint coach Duane Johnson credits the Olympic Development camp with Cox's improvement this year. "It showed Shana her potential," Johnson said. "She believes now."

200 Meters

Cox peaks at the clock (23.85, good for 11th on the all-time US list) . . .
. . . and roars. But actually, Shana says she is shooting for 23.5, which would break Angel Perkins national record set at the Armory last year. Hastings 24.48 (blue) was 2nd and Desiree Moorer 24.87 (red) was 3rd.

400 meters

Natasha Hastings routs strong field in new US#1 55.35. Former US#1 Meisue Francis, Boys & Girls NY, was second in 56.65 with the next three taking the same spots on the national DyeStat Elite list: 3. Jeavon Benjamin, Far Rockaway NY 56.73, 4. Chinny Offor, Half Hollow Hills NY 56.75, and 5. Tameika Hunter, Clinton NY 56.76.

Natasha Hastings led throughout; here at the halfway mark.
