Various results from yesterday:
Marybeth Sant swept the 100 and 200 at the Oregon relays. Times: 11.8 and 24.31. I haven't seen a video, but the times do indicate she won both races by wide margins.
Hannah Cunliffe also competed at the relays, but she ran against in the college division, despite being a high school junior. She finished second in both the 100 and 200 (11.91 and 24.11).
It's about time we saw Cunliffe v. Sant head to head. Sant had a tailwind in both races, though she had no competition pushing her. Cunliffe had better competition but ran both races into strong headwinds.
In other news, Jeremy Wariner ran his first 400 of the season. I don't have the time handy, but it was somewhat overwhelming, I think around 45.7 for second place. That said, it was better than the 400's run by Tyson Gay and Tony McQuay at another event.
In the men's 800, Sowinski continues to look great. In a stacked field at Mt. Sac (this was the most anticipated race of the weekend), he essentially tied for first. He put on a massive kick, and the announcers thought he had won, but he was awarded second.
Finally, Laura Roesler, who has dazzled with her ridiculous 400-1500 range, ran the second fastest 800 in the world this year so far: 2:01:75. She's just too talented. Good video. Towards the end, the professional runners are kicking with all they have and starting to pass her, when Laura, pretty as you please, seems to effortless kick into a gear that the professionals don't even have and re-pass them for the win. Here's the video:
