Yep, that's true. Allyson Felix also ran a 2:16 800m (not sure if it was the same meet, though).

Re: Lashinda Demus

While we're on the subject of a 400 hurdler, was anyone besides myself surprised to see Kim Batten's name listed in the last Etrack news letter? Did she make any annoucment of a come back? she hasn't run in three years,but could be a real threat to the young crowd(Demus, McIntosh, Johnson) at trials. She opened at 57.6 and also ran a 200 at 24.1. Not bad for a first race back and in four months...

Re: Lashinda Demus

Esther Alphonso, Dayton, Ohio?

I remember Esther Alfonso very well. She was another victim of the injury bug and never really got close to her full potential.
As a matter of fact Esther and I graduated from the same high school the same year, (Dayton Wayne) she actually transferred from Dayton Stebbins, and up until 9th grade she could school me in any event. Esther ws running the open 440 yard dash around 55 flat in the 8th grade! What a talent! Another in a long line of great hurdlers from Dayton, Ohio. Moses. Martin, Hawkins, Buford, etc.

Re: Lashinda Demus

If i'm not mistaken LaVonna Martin 1992 Olympic Silver Medalist 100m hurdles is from Ohio....as well as 1994 NCAA Champ Glenn Terry who i believe still holds the high school 42" barrier record at 13.86......

Re: Lashinda Demus

Of those mentioned the only records i can find where the athlete has PRs in both events is:

JJK - 12.61 & 2.08.51
Privalova - 13.56 & 2.09.40
(from http://www.tilastopaja.com/)

Re: Lavonna Martin

Yes she is from Trotwood, Ohio which is adjacent to Dayton, Ohio. Time permitting, I have an aim to write a book about the hurdlers from the Dayton, OHio (Miami Valley) area. Glenn Terry is from Columbus, which is a mere 55 miles from Dayton.

Did I ever tell anyone how much I love this sport?

Re: Lavonna Martin

Is this thread setting a record for the most off-track, digressing, going in the general-direction-of-somewhere thread ever?

Re: Lavonna Martin

I don't mean to sound like a broken record, but you would have known about Demus' 800/100H double if you had signed up for e-Track, our electronic results service that is FREE to all subscribers.
