Three American teams have just ran under 39s in the 4x1. Results:
1. USA Red - 38.14
(Jon Drummond, Bernard Williams, Darvis Patton, J.J. Johnson)
2. HSI - 38.30
(Mickey Grimes, Leonard Scott, Ato Boldon, Maurice Greene)
3. USA Blue - 38.71
(Shomari Wilson, Terrance Trammell, Allen Johnson, Justin Gatlin)
Decent running for this time of year. I reckon that the winning team is a pretty accurate representation of what the US Olympic team will be. Judging by the HSI team's time, it doesn't looks as though any of them are getting any better. Looks like another 4x1 without Mo on the team.
Also, if Monty doesn't get back to sub-10 form, then he could also be left off the relay (especially with his awkward 4x1 history). JJJ's anchor leg running of 2003 will put him in goodsted to be the anchor for the Olympic team. The only change I can see is replacing Bernard with Gatlin on 2nd leg, but I suppose that it will all depend on how their seasons go this year.
Nothing amazingly spectacular in the men's 4x4, but the winning team (James Carter, Leonard Byrd, Corey Nelson, Derrick Brew) ran 3:01.58. Pretty good, considering that maybe none (1-2 at most) of these 4 runners will be on the US 4x4 Olympic team! The Collegiate 4x4 was arguably more exciting, as three teams went under 3:02!!
The college 100m has also just been run. After a 10.11 (+2.2w) in the prelim, Steve Mullings ran a windy (+2.9) 10.05 in the final, followed by Tyrone Edgar (10.26). DaBryan Blanton ran 10.22 (wind +1.4) in the Uni 100m.
Muna Lee won the women's Uni 100m in 11.31, followed by Lakadron Ivery (11.34) and Kerron Stewart (11.48). In the 100mH, Lolo Jones ran a windy (+3.1) 12.78. Nichole Denby equalled that time but was given 2nd place by 4/1000th's.
Brendan Christian won the men's 100m in a windy (+2.2) 10.13, followed by Churandy Martina (10.19) and Pierre Browne (10.22).
Larry Wade opened his season with a cracker! He improved his own WL to 13.13 (wind +1.8). 2nd place was way behind (Chris Pinnock in 13.47).
Brianna Glenn is showing a bit of form. She won the 100m in 11.38 (wind +3.5) ahead of Mary Onyali 11.41 (looks like she's giving the 2004 season a go!)
Angela White also enjoyed an easy win in the sprint hurdles. Her WL 12.79 (wind +1.3) was well ahead of Virginia Miller's 13.16.
The women's 4x100m winners had an easy win, but the time wasn't quite as quick as you'd expect. The team of Angela Daigle, Chryste Gaines, Inger Miller and Torri Edwards ran a WL 42.70 to beat the team of Ashlee Williams, Raasin McIntosh, Natasha Staten and Sanya Richards (43.58).
Allyson Felix contributed to the winning women's 4x4 team on 3rd leg. She was joined by Ellannee Richardson, Debbie Dunn and Mary Danner to run 3:25.90
The women's 4x4 WL, however, was set by University of Texas (Sheretta Jones, Raasin McIntosh, Jerrika Chapple, Sanya Richards) who ran a brilliant 3:23.75.
