And So Much More!

The WR's, AR's, CR's, and HSR's covered in the previous post was just the proverbial tip of the iceberg (albeit the part strong enough to sink the ship!!)!!
Hang on, as I report to you all the rest of the List-making Marks from recent days--several of which broke OTHER kinds of Records!!
(In fact, maybe the best Record was the NUMBER of Record Book revisions I've had to make these past 48 hours!)
To keep things as neat and readable as possible, I'll do what I always do when I have too much to report--I'll divide it into event groups!!

Sprints & Hurdles
Andre Ewers suddenly emerged as a competitive Collegiate sprinter, his 6.52 making him 15th A-T Collegiate, tied wiith 4 others!
He's a Florida State Junior!
Aries Merritt won a 60H race in a quick 7.54!
Jasmine Camacho-Quinn won the 60H at the Clemson meet, her 8.00 defeating Janine Williams's 8.02.
In a separate race, Kristi Castlin ran 8.06.
Grant Holloway's 7.49 Clemson win in the 60H moves him from 16th A-T Collegiate, tied with 3 others, to 3rd, tied with 1 other.
He does NOT get the Soph Class Record, however, as that is Omar McLeod's CR of 7.45!!
Holloway's mark makes him 20th A-T US, tied with 1 other!!
Devon Allen took the Albuquerque 60H in 7.59.
Tobi Amusan's 7.95 beat Dior Hall's 7.98 in the 60H.
But both ran faster heats---Hall a 7.94, and Amusan a 7.89!!

Kelly Ann Baptiste returned to action with a 60 in 7.25!
This was at Vanderbilt!
Kate Hall took the Women's 60 in 7.28!
Ky Westbrook is back in business--her 7.29 taking the Albuquerque 60!
She also ran the 200 in 23.59.
She's a Junior at USC!
Divine (Yes, that's his name!) Oduduru sped the 200 in 20.49, just 0.06 off the Collegiate DDD!
He's from Nigeria, and attends Texas Tech!
Another interesting name is that of Ncincilili Titi, a South Carolina Junior!
He's also fast--winning the Clemson 200 in 20.45!
It misses the Collegiate list by a mere 0.02 seconds!!
Dwight St Hillaire was 2nd in 20.73.
He's a Kentucky Frosh!

In the Virginia Showcase meet, the Bullis (MD) Women's 4X400 Relay team won in 3:39.60, 2nd A-T HS!!
Florida's 4X400 Relay teams ran fast times in winning!
The Women--with Sharrika Barnett anchoring in 50.56--ran 3:31.17.
They beat Kentucky's 3:31.65, where Sydney McLaughlin's 2nd leg of 50.96 was fastest!
The Men nipped their School Record by 0.01 seconds, their 3:03.49 moving them from 2nd A-T School, tied with 1 other, to 2nd, but with no ties!

Shamier Little won the A&M meet 400 with her 52.84.
The A&M Men's 4X400 team won in 3:04.38!
Arria Minor's 7.30 in the 60 makes her 15th A-T HS, but tied with 5 others!
Grace Stark's 8.25 over the 60H makes her 14th A-T HS, tied with 1 other!
And Eric Edwards ran 60H in 7.66, making him 11th A-T HS, tied with 1 other!

Distances--from the 500 to the 5000
Madeline Kopp won the Clemson 600 in 1:27.46.
She's now 15th A-T US!
Isaiah Harris took the Men's race in a non-PR of 1:16.55!
Jenna Westaway took a 600 in 1:28.29!
Natoya Goule dipped under two minutes in the 800, her 1:59.86 leaving Danae Rivers's 2:03.13 far behind!
In a 3000, Jacob Thompson won in 7:53.87.
Erin Finn--in her final year at Michigan--won the 3000 in 8:58.69.
This makes her 18th A-T Collegiate!

Remember that Georgia finished a close 2nd to Oregon at the OUTdoor NCAA last year!
Their points came entirely from Field events!!
Well, the Drop sisters might change that!
Jessica's 9:17.60 set a School record, and beat Grace Barnett's 9:17.64!

In the Albuquerque Mile, Katie Mackey beat Ednah Kurgat handily--4:35.50 to 4:41.42!
If you think Albuquerque's altitude is bad, try the 7700 feet in Colorado where Emma Coburn dragged herself through a Mile in 4:38.08!!
She was followed by fellow Steepler Aisha Praught-Leer, who ran in the 4:41's!
(Worth maybe 10 seconds less at sea level??)
Josh Hoey won a fast 1000!
His 2:24.64 makes him 10th A-T HS!
He beat Dalton Hengst's 2:25.30, which makes him 12th A-T HS!
Claire Green's mile in 4:39.74 gives her the Collegiate lead!

The USATF 50000 meter Walks were won by Nick Christie's 4:09:32, and Katie Burnett's 4:47:50!
However, Burnett wasn't the overall winner, as Mariela Sanchez  Walked 4:46:12.

And on Vanderbilt's OT, Erin Teschuk ran an UN-listable 3000 time of 9:01.30!

High Jump
Mariya Lasitskene HJ'ed 6.7!
Lavern Spencer cleared 6-2.75 in the Clemson meet!
Darius Corbin reached 7-3.
Landon Bartel went over 7-3.75.

LJ & TJ
I'll begin here by clearing up the Ayesha Champagnie situation!
Her alleged 21-6.25 LJ was just that--alleged!!
It did NOT happen!!
That's the firm conclusion of EVERYONE on the T&FN Message Board!
In fact, some said the Minnesota Coach let the error slide, helping his team win the meet!
But they also said that by retaining the mark as legit, it denies a place at the NCAA's for a REAL 6.56 LJ'er!!
Fess up, folks!!

The Clemson Women's LJ was taken by Quanesha Burks's 21-3.50!
Chanice Porter's 21-5.50 won another meet!
Jasmine Todd used just 6 or 7 steps to LJ 21-0.50!
Marquis Dendy made good use of Albuquerque's altitude, leaping 26-8.25!

Jasmine Moore continues as one of the best HS Tripler's!
Her 42-9.50 took over the Junior Class Record!!
The old mark dated from 1990!!
She moves up one spot on the A-T HS list--from 8th to 7th!
Jessie Maduka, a UCLA Senior from Germany, TJ'ed 45-1, making her 21st A-T Collegiate!!
She's 6 feet tall!!

And Lanae Tava Thomas LJ'ed 21-8, taking over the HS lead!
But let's look at this in its proper sequence!
She first leaped 21-4!
This moved her from 8th A-T HS to 4th!
Then she improved to the 21-8, which took her from that 4th into 2nd A-T HS!!
She misses the US list by 2.75 inches!!

Pole Vault
Lots of stuff here!!
If you follow Becca Peter (PoleVaultPower) on Twitter, you probably already know that the Reno meet--at least for the elite Men--was a near-fiasco!!

Mondo's 19-1.50 stands as the HSR, and as the Senior Class Record!
But it won't be ratified by the IAAF, since the wrong size pegs were used!!
(Don't ask me to explain--just read what Becca said!)
So his National Record of Sweden reverts to 2017's 19-1.

Sondre Guttormsen's 18-0 is still good for the HS lists!
Ditto with KC Lightfoot's 17-8!

The Women's marks are all still good--it only affected the Men!
So retain Reagann LeLeux's 13-10 and Ellie Talius's 13-6!!

Speaking of Mondo, he Vaulted some after Reno, but couldn't reach 19 feet!
He cleared 18-4.50, then missed his trio of attempts at 18-10.75!

A couple of Mondo's young competitors had good marks!
In an OUTdoor meet in Australia, Kurtis Marschall cleared 19-0.25!!
And Emmanouil Karalis cleared 18-6.50!

Anzhelika Sidorova reached 15-7 in Russia.
In a Canadian meet, Jenn Suhr soared over 15-9.25!
She broke her own Age 35 Record!!
Olivia Gruver, who cleared a PR of 15-1 recently, could do just 14-2 this weekend!

But Katie Nageotte finally got her PR of 15-7.25!!
This was in a Washington State meet!
She moves from 6th to 5th on the A-T US list!
She moves from 19th A-T World, tied with 2 others, to 16th, tied with 1 other!

Erica Ellis cleared 13-7.25, then missed 3 times at a HSR height of 14-4.50!
Annie Rhodes got married!
At least I assume that's why she's now called Annie Rhodes Johnigan!!
It seems to be good for her, as she finally reached 15 feet--exactly!
This makes her 21st A-T US, tied with 1 other!
Speaking of recently married female Vaulters---
Tori Hoggard beat her former-Weeks twin sister, Lexi Jacobus--14-7.25 to 14-1.25!
Hoggard had 3 misses at 15-1.50, while Lexi missed her 3 tries at 14-7.25!
Desiree Freier was 3rd, reaching 13-7.25!
Laura Taylor went over 14-0.50.

Jacob Wooten and Audie Wyatt both went over 18-1.25!
At Notre Dame, Adrian Valles--a Senior at Cincinnati--cleared 18-4.75!
In Minnesota, Chris Nilsen missed 3 times at 18-10.75--after making 18-6.50!!
Finally--in the PV section--Megan Clark and Kristin Brown both reached 14-8, but missed all their tries at 15-0!

Throws & Multi's
Leading off this group is the happy news that Javelin Queen Barbora Spotakova is pregnant!!
She's due sometime this summer, and will miss the 2018 season!
But she'll be returning for 2019!!

The Clemson meet had a great Women's WT!
Gwen Berry's 81-6.50 gave her the Age 28 Record!!
Also 28, Jeneva Stevens took 2nd with 79-6.50!
She moves from 8th A-T US to 5th!
And from 10th A-T World to 5th!
In 3rd and 4th came Jeneah Stewart's 75-0.75, and Jessica Ramsey's 71-8.25!
The Men's event saw Denzel Comenentia winning with a toss of 73-6.75!

In Michigan,Joseph Ellis's 73-11.75 beat Grant Cartwright's 73-3.25!
Sade Olatoya--an Ohio state Junior--got it out to 74-8.25!
This makes her 11th A-T Collegiate, tied with 1 other!

Tripp Piperi's 63-4 kept him steadily in the 63's in the SP!
Patrick Larrison SP'ed 67-7.25, making him 15th A-T HS!!

Maggie Ewen might be a better Shot Putter than Hammer Thrower!
With no HT INdoors, she's really getting that ball out there!
First was last week's 60-6 PR--See my earlier post!
Now she's out to 61-3!!
This moves her from 9th A-T Collegiate to 5th!!
She also moves from 17th A-T US, tied with 1 other, to 15th!
Keeping the "Hammer" in her side pocket, she also threw the WT out to 70-5.25!

Amanda Froeynes--a Florida Frosh--scored 4199 Pentathlon points at Clemson!
Tim Duckworth ran a slowish 1000, but he was able to stay ahead of Maicel Uibo's much faster time---at least in total points--as he won the Clemson Heptathlon--6071 to 6039!

Finally, some OTHER news---

A 4-some of Ajee Wilson, Charlene Lipsey, Raevyn Rogers, and Chrishuna Williams plan an attack on Russia's INdoor 4X800 Relay WR of 8:06.24 at the Millrose meet!
With PR's (OUT or IN) adding to about 7:53, this should be a slam dunk--pardon the mixed metaphor!!

And what about Centro--aka Matthew Centrowitz??
Well, he's decided to skip INdoors this year--all of it!!
He's instead planning an OUTdoor racing tour--Down Under--starting in March!
That month just so happens to be the month before the Commonwealth Games!!
So his opposition should be in top shape!!

Also, he's moved to the DC area--close to his father!
He's still with NOP--and will still be coached by Alberto Salazar--but with help from Matt the Dad!
Interesting.

Hope you enjoyed this 2-part report!
Will next week require the same??

See you soon!
