Chesser (right, 1st, 10:17.81) and Cromer (left, 2nd, 10:23.32) led most of the way, and both advanced to Sunday's final with plenty of room to spare.
A pack of four, L-R: Natalie Florence, Lisa Galaviz, Jane Rudkin, and Kara June, ran together for much of the race. All four advanced easily.	Early in the second heat of the 3,000m steeplechase, L-R: Ann Gaffigan, Rena Chesser, Elizabeth Jackson, Cassie King, Lisa Antonelli, Brianna Dahm, and Dawn Cromer (formerly Cleary).	Chesser (right, 1st, 10:17.81) and Cromer (left, 2nd, 10:23.32) led most of the way, and both advanced to Sunday's final with plenty of room to spare.	Dawn Cromer is a former University of Virginia star.	Former national champion Elizabeth Jackson finished third in 10:24.88. The women's steeple will be contested for the first time at the 2005 World Championships, so Sunday's final will be a historic moment in the women's steeple.
