Recall spoils record assault; Bershawn Jackson
wins easily
Boys
A expected Florida-Texas assault on the national record fizzled when
the race was recalled after the runners were already into the turn.
The automatic timing system missed the start and the recall pistol
was not heard initially by the runners. Although meet officials let
the runners rest nearly an hour by delaying the re-run until after
the 200s and the Mile Runs, it seemed anti-climactic. 2001 national
champion and 2002 US#1 Bershawn Jackson held up his end of the bargain
by running 35.66, faster than all but three other hurdlers and himself
in the all-time list, even though he crashed two hurdles in the stretch.
But Kerron Clement, whose 35.78 in the Texas 5A state meet took down
Jackson's junior class record, was never in the race (37.04) and was
passed by another Texan, Terry Beard 37.01, for second.

It's good the automatic timing worked on this race, because three
runners were within 0.01 second and a fourth was only 0.03 further
back.
