The
most noticeable thing about the start of the women's 1,500 final
was Suzy Favor...
|
...Hamilton's
absence. After her an injury flared up in the semifinals, she opted
to skip the final.
|
We
can't even begin to describe how hot the weather was for the women's
1,500 final. Just standing or sitting...
|
...outdoors
was nearly unbearable.
|
L-R:
Jenelle Deatherage, Shalane Flanagan, Janet Trujillo, Mary Jayne
Harrelson, and Carrie Tollefson.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tollefson,
who has missed making the team in the 5,000, set the pace...
|
...throughout
the race. Marla Runyan, one of the favorites here and the runner-up...
|
...in
the 5,000, hung back early on. Approximately 900 meters into the
race, Runyan dropped...
|
...out,
citing fatigue. Tollefson set a pace of 66.7, 67.8, and 66.4 for
the first three laps.
|
With
one lap to go, Tollefson led with Shalane Flanagan on her shoulder.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
R-L:
Tollefson, Flanagan, and Jen Toomey.
|
With
Runyan and Favor Hamilton out of the race, it was now wide open...
|
...and
none of the athletes in the field had the Olympic "B"
standard...
|
...of
4:07.15, let alone the "A" standard (4:05.80).
|
R-L
on the outside: Tollefson, Flanagan, Toomey and Jenelle Deatherage.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Deatherage
wound up fourth in 4:08.71 after a great lean by Amy Rudolph.
|
R-L:
Sarah Schwald (8th, 4:13.12), Lindsey Gallo (11th, 4:14.70), Amy
Mortimer, and Sally Hauser (7th, 4:12.56).
|
Amy
Mortimer finished ninth in 4:13.64.
|
Heather
Sagan finished 10th in 4:14.37.
|
Carrie
Tollefson led the entire race, until Jen Toomey went by her in the
final 100 meters.
