Cook of Tennesse took second (2:08.57).

Approaching
the 400-meter mark, Wake Forest's Nikeya Green tumbled to the track.
|
Green's
fall affected everyone who was near her, but no one was disqualified.
|
As
of Saturday morning, there was no word as to whether Green had filed
a protest...
|
...and
there was no indication that she would be allowed to advance to
the final.
|
With
two laps to go, Burgess leads Burnett and the rest of the field.
