USATF Championship Final
June 23, 2007
Indianapolis, Indiana, USA
Automatic Timing
Results:
(meet selects USA team for 2007 World Championship)

1-Jenny Barringer, U.Colorado 9:34.64; 2-Anna Willard, Nike [U.Michigan] 9:34.72; 3-Lindsey Anderson, Nike [Weber State U] 9:40.74; 4-Lisa Galaviz, Nike 9:43.54; 5-Desiraye Osburn, New Balance 9:47.24; 6-Liz Wort, Duke Univ 9:53.20; 7-Kristin Anderson, Nike 9:53.95; 8-Kelly Strong, Asics 9:53.99; 9-Kara June, Asics Aggies 9:59.91; 10-Amanda Lorenzen, unattached 10:01.82; 11-Dawn Cromer, unattached 10:03.23; 12-Bridget Franek, Penn State 10:10.36; 13-Carrie Messner-Vickers, Asics 10:15.07; 14 Brianna Dahm, Oregon TC 10:17.45

The water jump was outside the track's outer lane, with a curved run-up to barrier (running extra distance for common pack atop barrier strategy). Result: mostly single file running near left side of barrier which had an opaque insert between its uprights blocking runners vision, as they approached the barrier, of anyone possibly down in the water.

Cromer, Galaviz, Messner and Strong had previously run in a similar situation that sent a trampled athlete to the hospital. Today those four elite professionals ran conservatively -- and utimately lost contact with the leaders.

Three collegians (Barringer, Willard, Anderson) had no one to fall in their path, going promptly to the front and staying there all the way with fast pace for a 1-2-3 finish. Messner was close early, Galaviz and Strong later, but none close enough to finish among the first three places for a trip to World Championships.

Barringer and Willard broke Ann Gaffigan's USATF 2004 Meet record of 9:39.35 . They achieved personal bests as did Osburn and Kristin Anderson. For Barringer it was a return to the top; she had won the 2006 NCAA Division 1 title but was only seventh in 2007 NCAA just two weeks ago.

The elite veterans may not have run enough fast-pace races before today. (No USA Grand Prix meet includes women's steeple.) They could now seek summer competitions abroad to be ready if one of today's top three declines a World Champs trip to Osaka.
