The High Performance meeting held at Occidental College on Saturday night, May 21, 2011 has given us some excellent performances to begin drooling about. Katie Follett of Brooks Racing, continues to move up the American middle distance food chain with her second superb performances of the year. After winning the Payton Jordan 1,500 m on May 1, Katie Follett has come back and won her second big 1,500 meters of 2011, with the national leading time and also, her personal best, in 4:07.44. Follett made her big move with 250 meters to go, and took the win over Phoebe Wright. Trenier Moser made a smart move, going by Wright, with Moser in second in 4:08.10 , and Wright in third in 4:08.60. Shannon Rowburt was ninth in 4:11.67!
The men’s 800 meters was pretty impressive as well. Cory Primm won a hotly contested 800 meters in 1:44.71, by Cory Primm, who ran the fastest time by a collegian since 1996! Tyler Mulder ran 1:44.83 for second, with David Torrence running 1:45.43 for third and Russell Brown, running a pb of 1:45.83 and Duane Solomon running 1:45.86 for fifth place!
The final event of the evening was an epic 1,500 meters, where Andrew Wheating ran his personal best in 3:36.46. Kyle Miller ran 3:36.82 for second. Nathan Brannen finished third in 3:36.98, with Lopez Lomong in fourth in 3:37.01 and Will Leer in fifth in 3:37.01 as well! Andrew Bumbalough, who had run a great 5k in March, ran 3:37.15 her, with NIck Symmonds finished in eight in 3:38.10 (personal best). Note Leo Manzano in ninth in 3:38.26. Evan Jager continues to improve, running 3:38.80 and Matt Tegenkamp, fresh off his 27:28 for 10,000m, runs 3:41.72!
