The
start of the steeplechase final.
|
Briana
Shook and Lisa Aguilera lead.
|
L-R:
Dawn Cleary, Kelly MacDonald and Mollie DeFrancesco.
|
R-L:
Cleary, Kassi Andersen and Lisa Antonelli.
|
Using
her usual strategy, Briana Shook already holds a big lead on her
first...
|
|
|
|
|
|
...trip
over the water barrier. The Univerity of Toledo runner redshirted
the collegiate season...
|
...and
had raced well, but she hadn't run as many races as some of the
other collegians.
|
Cleary
runs in second and MacDonald, DeFrancesco and Aguilera follow.
|
Because
this event is so new for women, the field was heavy on collegians
and recent graduates.
|
DeFrancesco
leads Boston College's Jennifer Donovan and Penn State's Molly Landreth.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sarah
Gall leads Lisa Antonelli.
|
Shook
was among the favorites here, but runners like...
|
...BYU's
Kassi Andersen, who had won the NCAA Steeplechase title...
|
...a
week earlier were expected to challenge.
|
The
question was if they were letting Shook get a little too far ahead.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
javelin competition was going on during the race and the officials
did a poor job of keeping the throwers off the track... Here a disaster
was narrowly averted.
|
Shook's
go-out-hard strategy usually worked against weaker competition,
but she hadn't yet pulled it off successfully in a national-level
competition.
|
BYU's
Andersen (with Dawn Cleary) prefers to use a come-from-behind strategy...
|
...but
it looked like she may have waited too long to make up all of the
distance Shook had put on her.
|
Cleary
and Andersen lead Aguilera, Jane Rudkin and Donovan.
