Two-time U.S. Olympian ('00 and '04) Hazel Clark moves to the lead on the first lap. |
With some of the U.S.'s other top 800m runner missing, Clark was the heavy favorite to win here. |
Frances Santin (left) and Kristina Bratton run in second and third. |
We were unable to attend Sunday's competition, so we missed the 800m final. |
R-L: Bratton, Santin, Natasha Lothery, and Mishael Bertrand. |

Lothery leads Bertrand, with Doswell running with them on the pole. |
Just making it here was an impressive accomplishment for the high school junior. She was the only high school runner to compete in a middle distance or distance race here. |
On the second lap, Hazel Clark continues to set the pace. |
Santa Monica Track Club's Frances Santin follows Clark on the outside. |
Santin was a 400m hurdle specialist for Cal State-Northridge. |

Santin continues to run in second with Kristin Bratton in third. |
A close race with one lap to go. |

Mishael Bertrand wound up fourth in 2:06.84 and was the fastest non-qualifier out of the second prelim. |
Hazel Clark held off Kristina Bratton and Frances Santin to win the second prelim in 2:05.45. |
Clark also went on to win the following day's final in 2:01.98, edging out Alice Schmidt. |
Clark automatically advanced. Bratton finished second (2:06.08) and advanced on time... |
...as did Santin (third, 2:06.13). |
