Wariner Wins New York Golden League 400 Meters


By Vicky Oddi, Universal Sports
NEW YORK - After finishing as the runner-up to Angelo Taylor at the Pre Classic last weekend, 2004 Olympic gold medalist Jeremy Wariner bounced back this week to win a down-to-the-wire 400m against Jermaine Gonzales and Rondell Bartholomew.



After a good start and a strong backstretch, Wariner came off the curve with just a slight lead over Gonzales and Bartholomew. Inside the 80m mark Bartholomew pulled even with Wariner and for an instant it looked as if Wariner would be defeated again. But he was able to maintain his focus and hold off the late charge to get the win in 45.13. Gonzales used a late kick of his own to edge Bartholomew at the tape as they crossed the line in 45.16 and 45.17, respectively.

After he was able to recover his breath, Wariner talked about his race saying "I knew it was going to be a tight race. Everyone in that race has run 44 sometime in the past year-and-a-half. I executed a lot better this week than last week. My legs were under me this time. Last week my legs were a little dead, when I did my practice start it didn't feel right. I didn't execute at all. I didn't get out from the start, I let them get so far ahead of me that it was hard to come back from.

"Today, my first half of the race was perfect. Right where Coach Hart wanted me to be. The wind was real tough today but fortunately I was able to stay focused and relaxed down the home stretch. I think that's why I was able to beat them at the end, " Wariner said.

Now Wariner will focus on making the World Championships team this year, something he hasn't had to do since 2005. And then he will focus on regaining his world 400m title. "I've got US Champs coming up, I have to make the team this year to go to Worlds. That's my first goal. After that, it's to prepare myself for Worlds and win the world title," Wariner said.

Another man focused on making his nation's team for the 2011 World Championships is Oscar Pistorius. Running out of lane 1, Pistorius surged down the homestretch to finish fifth in 45.69 to Wariner's winning 45.13. Better known as the "Blade Runner," it is the second-fastest time he has ever run, though still shy of the 45.25 ‘A' standard that he needs to qualify for this year's World Championships.

After his race, Pistorius was pleased with his performance saying "Coming into the homestretch I had to really pick up the pace. Very, very happy with today's time considering the wind and the rain and everything."

When asked if he would have preferred any other lane besides line 1, he quipped "I'm blessed just to have a race, to be able to take a lane here. You know, these guys are in the top of the world. I'm glad to have a lane here and I'll take whichever lane."

Aggies Senior Jessica Beard Wins NCAA 400m Championship

DES MOINES, Iowa - Jessica Beard accomplished her goal of winning the NCAA Outdoor Championship in the 400 meters on Friday evening with a time of 51.10 seconds on a wet track in front of 7,423 fans at Drake Stadium.

Beard won both NCAA titles in the 400 during her senior year, winning the indoor crown on A&M's home track and the outdoor version in Des Moines.

"I wanted to get 10 points for my team," Beard said. "Of course I could have run faster, but whatever time it takes for me to be in first place and score 10 points is what I'll take.

"I'm really thankful. It was the calmest I've been for a final. I'm just really happy that the race turned out the way it did. Hopefully we are still in it for the team championship."

Starting in lane five Beard felt the presence of Auburn's Joanna Atkins early from lane four. Atkins made up the stagger on Beard with a stern first 200 meters. Bidding her time, Beard pounced on the field with 180 remaining.

"Coach Anderson told me she would do that since Joanna can run 22 in the 200," explained Beard. "So, I already knew she had a lot of foot speed. I just had to remain calm. As long as she hadn't passed me before I got off the curve I figured it was going to be guts versus guts to the end. She is a great competitor."

Coming into the homestretch Beard's lead stretched to four tenths of a second over Atkins while Kansas frosh Diamond Dixon placed third in 51.88.

"Oh, it was a great feeling heading down the homestretch in the lead," exclaimed Beard. "I couldn't even look at the clock, I was just wanting to know where is the finish line. Once I hit it I was elated."

The time by Beard lowered her collegiate leading mark from the 51.24 she recorded in the semifinal. Her 51.10 clocking is 12th in the world for the 2011 season and sixth among Americans. It's also the sixth fastest performance on the A&M all-time list.

Kirani James wins NCAA 400m Title


DES MOINES, Iowa – Alabama’s Kirani James, a Grenadian National, successfully repeated as the NCAA 400-meter champion on Friday night at Drake Stadium.

The sophomore standout claimed his second outdoor 400 meter title by just three one-hundredths of a second with a time of 45.092 from the outside lane to edge out Texas Tech’s Gil Roberts for the title.



“It was a very close finish and there were a lot of question marks and tense moments as we waited for the results,” James said. “When they flashed the final results on the board, I was ecstatic and happy that I could pull off such a feat. It’s always great to accomplish something like this. I ran and competed with a great group of guys and I’m so happy to repeat as the NCAA Champion.”

James’ time was slightly off from his personal best time in a field that featured eight sub-45 second times . However, due to weather delays he also participated in this morning’s 4x400 meter relay and then had to face cool, rainy conditions in the championship heat of the 400 meters in addition to a less than desirable lane assignment.

“It happens and you can’t control things like that,” James said of those adversities. “I’m glad I was ready and prepared to deal with that and control what I could control. I was running blind and just trying to control my race and finish strong.”


UA head coach Harvey Glance echoed his pupil’s thoughts in the strategy heading into the championship heat.
“Out in lane eight he was running blind the whole race and couldn’t see the field, but he found a way to win,” Glance said. “My advice to him was to protect his first 200 meters and he did that to keep the rest of the field from catching up to him and then he battled the last 100 meters to find the tape. He’s a winner and a finisher and that’s what you need to be successful in this sport.”

Earlier in the day in the 4x400-meter relay, James turned in a solid split as did his teammates Dwayne Extol, Fred Samoei and Bobby Onyeukwu. However, the team was disqualified on its final exchange for a lane violation.

James’ title wraps up the collegiate season for the Crimson Tide and is the 24th NCAA title for the men’s track and field team.

Wariner Looking For Better Execution in New York 400 Meters

Great Universal Sports interview with 400m runner Jeremy Wariner where he comments on his Eugene 400m effort, the Olympics and Lashawn Merritt. Below is video of Angelo Taylor upsetting Wariner in Prefontaine 400m on June 4th.
By Joe Battaglia, Universal Sports
NEW YORK -- When Jeremy Wariner fails to cross the finish line first, he know it is usually because he did not execute a phase of his race correctly. After a poor showing at the Diamond League Prefontaine Classic, Wariner is looking to get back on track at the adidas Grand Prix. We spoke to Wariner about his next race, and the remainder of the season.

Do you feel like your best performances and times are still ahead of you?

Yeah, I think so. I still think I can get back down into the low 43s. Training-wise I'm there, it's mainly just executing better than I have the past few years. Toward the end of last year I started executing a lot and my times started dropping, so I just have continue to do that this weekend.

Was losing to Angelo Taylor at the Prefontaine Classic a shock to you?

I'm going to be disappointed when I lose, but Angelo's competitive. Angelo's run 44.3. Actually he's run faster than that - 44.0 at U.S. Champs one year -- but I know he's always going to be there in the mix of things. He almost got me last year in Rome. But it was my fault that I lost. I didn't get out. I didn't run my race like I should. I would say it shocked me a little bit because I didn't run my race, but at the same time I knew there was a chance he could run that time.

Was your execution just not good in Eugene?
I didn't execute one bit. I didn't get out. I was way behind at 150. Bershawn (Jackson) had taken it out and Angelo was ahead of me and usually I'm ahead of Angelo all the time, so for him to be ahead of me at the 200 really showed that I didn't get out. I didn't work the turn like I usually do. Fortunately I was able to come down the home stretch strong and if I had about 10 more meters me and Angelo would have been closer than we were, but I've already passed that meet and I'm looking forward to this one now. This is a faster track for the 400 runners than Hayward Field in my eyes. I think the times here are going to be a lot faster than they were last week.

Did you spend time analyzing your race and figuring out how to correct your mistakes?
Everyone learns from when they lose. The great athletes will know why they lost and athletes that don't know why, they will try to learn that. Fortunately for me, I'm at that stage where if I lose I know what I did wrong and how I can correct it. Mentally it's tough being on top so long and winning so many races consistently and then all of a sudden starting losing and going back and forth, so mentally it took me a little while to just get rid of it and not think like in the past if I lost one race. I would come back and be able to win, but when I kept losing that same year in '08 I was mentally kind of - it put me down a little bit, but I've been able to work on that this year and last year, and I think it showed last year when I started being more competitive towards the end of the season.

Do you do a lot of film studying?
No not really. Sometimes I go back and watch my races to see what I did in a certain race, but most of the time I stay away from that because I don't want to go back and say I have to do that, I have to do this and then I go out there and try and do it and it's not the same as what I've trained for.


Do you want to go out and run a fast time that establishes yourself as the man to beat in the 400m?
I always want to go out there and win. I want to go out there and compete my hardest every time I step on the track. I'm not going to be satisfied if I don't. Last week I wasn't satisfied. I regrouped, trained hard this week, and I'm ready to go out this week to start going back out there and running hard and running fast times.

A year out until London, what's it going to take for you to regain your Olympic title?
Well right now I'm not really worried about the Olympics. I've got U.S. Champs coming up and then a few weeks after, if I make the team, the World Championships. So that's my first goal, to make the team then go to Daegu and get the number one (ranking) and world championship there. Then after that I can start focusing on the Olympics. This year is a build-up to that. I have to be focused on this year and continue to execute my race like I know I can and that will help me go into next season.

Do you have any sympathy for LaShawn Merritt's situation?
I'm not going into that subject. If he's on the track later this year and I step on the line against him, then great. If not, he's not there. Right now I'm only focused on who is in the same race as me, that's it.

Do you feel deprived at all to have lost your world championship to someone who tested positive for doping?

That has nothing to do with why I lost. I lost because I didn't run my race. I didn't prepare myself properly like I did in the past. He just ran the better race at the time. Both years, ‘08 and '09, we went back and forth with each other. There wasn't one set person who you knew was going to win when you stepped on the line. No one knew exactly who was going to win. Whoever had the better race was going to win that day. Unfortunately for me, the two big days he got me.
