With
one lap to go in the 800m final, Nicole Cook continued to lead the
race...
|
...with
Akron's Beata Rudzinska running in second place.
|
Beth
Heimann would finish sixth in 2:06.91.
|
Ashley
Patten had an off day, finishing eighth in 2:15.15 but still earning
All-America honors.
|
Cook
continued to hold off all challengers down the homestretch and earned
the win...
|
|
|
|
|
|
...by
leading wire-to-wire and winning by more than a second in 2:03.27.
|
Neisha
Bernard-Thomas took second (2:04.26) and Katie Erdman third (2:04.41).
Pictured above is Patten, 8th.

who also played a large role in Tennessee's DMR victory, takes a

Runners
get ready for the 3,000m final. Many of the runners competing were
doubling back from other events.
|
Kristin
Price of NC State had finished sixth in the previous evening's 5,000m
final.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Catherine
"Cack" Ferrell of Princeton was making her first appearanceof
the meet...
|
...as
was first-time nationals qualifier and fellow Ivy Leaguer, Penn's
Emily Logan.
|
L-R:
Alicia Craig, Renee Metivier, Sara Bei, Treniere Clement, and 5,000m
champion Kim Smith.
|
The
3,000 was probably the deepest distance event of the meet, but a
lot of the athletes were tired...
|
...after
running events earlier in the meet (in some cases, earlier in the
day).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some
thought Kim Smith might be tired from the 5,000m record she set...
|
...the
previous evening, but she quickly put those thoughts to rest.
|
Smith
shot off the starting line as if she were running a 200-meter race.
|
UTEP's
Adriana Pirtea and West Virginia's Megan Metcalfe.
|
Just
past the 200-meter mark, Smith had already established a Tiffany
McWilliams-esque lead.
