One week earlier, at the Prefontaine Classic, both the women's 800m and 1,500m races had falls which influenced the outcome of the race. Kenia Sinclair (right) of Jamaica led through 400 meters. R-L: Sinclair, Kameisha Bennett, Marian Burnett, Jen Toomey, Neisha Bernard-Thomas, and Treniere Clement. Six of the nine runners in the field were recent college grads, so many of them had raced each other recently, and three of them had won NCAA titles in this event. R-L: Kenia Sinclair, Jen Toomey, Marian Burnett, Kameisha Bennett, Neisha Bernard-Thomas, Alice Schmidt, and Treniere Clement.

With a head-on view, it wasn't immediately obvious who was leading up the homestretch, but it turned out to be Kenia Sinclair... ...on the far right. She won the 800 in 1:59.10, a world-leading time. Sinclair, a native of Jamaica, ran for Seton Hall University, where she holds the indoor and outdoor school records in the 800. Treniere Clement (far left), who has been on a tear this year, ran another tremendous race to finish second in a PR 1:59.59. There was a sizeable Jamaican contingent in the stands, and they were thrilled with Kenia Sinclair's win.

Treniere Clement, a graduate of Georgetown, is now being coached by Tennessee coach J.J. Clark. Jenelle Deatherage finished seventh in 2:03.95. Kameisha has a smile on her face as she watches the replay, possibly because she snuck under the World Championships qualifying time of 2:00.00 by .01 of a second. Clement also earned a World Championship qualifying time. In order to make the team, she would need to finish in the top three at the USA Championships later this month, though. Jenelle Deatherage trains with Team USA Minnesota.

Jen Toomey finished third in 1:59.96, not far from her PR. Earlier in the day, New York City had also hosted the Circle of Friends New York Mini 10K. Many of the competitors, including Lyubov Denisova (left) and Silvia Skvortsova... ...took in the Reebok Grand Prix in the afternoon. Above: Lornah Kiplagat, the winner of the Circle of Friends New York Mini 10K that morning... ...was also on hand. Kiplagat won the Mini by 34 seconds, in 31:44. Later in the meet, Mardrea Hyman (far right) and Jen Toomey (in second) were back in action, as pacesetters for the women's 5,000.
