Top 5 Moments From USA Outdoors: Day 2

 

5. All is Well in the Men's Steeplechase

There were no surprises in the prelims of the men’s steeplechase, as the top eight seeds all advanced to the finals on Sunday. Evan Jager, Dan Huling, Donn Cabral, Andy Bayer, Stanley Kebenei, Matt Cleaver, Darren Fahy, and Craig Forys all punched their automatic spots in the final. Could we see a Bowerman Track Club sweep on Sunday?


4. Boris Berian Does Not Qualify To 800m Finals

Recently signed Nike athlete, and No. 1 seed Boris Berian failed to qualify to the final round of the 800m. Berian took the first lap out at 50.7 seconds, and led up until the Bowerman curve. With four other runners still in contention, he dropped further back as they approached the finish line. But it was Asics runner Ryan Martin who took the final spot out of heat two. Martin will be joined by Casimir Loxsom, Erik Sowinski, Michael Rutt, Duane Solomon, Shaquille Walker, Clayton Murphy, and Nick Symmonds in the final of the men's 800m.



3. Sharika Nelvis Runs 7th Fastest 100m Hurdles All-Time - 12.34

The wind finally died down for the third heat of the women's 100m hurdles, allowing Sharika Nelvis to blast her way to a huge personal best and the fastest time in the world in 2015. The 25-year-old won her heat with a world-leading time of 12.34. The mark also catapults Nelvis as the third-fastest American all-time.


2. Tori Bowie, English Gardner, and Jasmine Todd All Advance To Bejing in 100m

Former Oregon Duck English Gardner set quite the standard for the second day of competition. In the very first race of the day, Gardner recorded a wind legal mark of 10.79. The time was good enough for a world lead, and makes her the seventh-fastest woman in history. In the second heat of the semifinals, Tori Bowie ran even faster than Gardner, with a wind-aided 10.76. Just a few hours later, Bowie was crowned the 100m champion, running a wind legal 10.81. Gardner took second place in 10.86, and Oregon's Jasmine Todd punched the third and final ticket to Beijing. After coming off of a disappointing NCAA Championships performance, Todd was happy to receive big time redemption on her home track. 




1. Trayvon Bromell is First American Teen Ever to Make World Championships in Men's 100m 

Although he didn't win, the story in the men's 100m was all about Baylor's Trayvon Bromell. The 19-year-old ran his way to a runner-up finish and an automatic spot on his first World Championship team. He will be accompanied by Olympic silver medalist Tyson Gay and World finalist Mike Rogers for the World Championships in Beijing later this summer.

In the semi-final race a few hours prior, Bromell ran a wind-aided 9.76, good for the fastest time of the day and No. 2 in the world all conditions. Gay had the second-fastest time at 9.79 (also wind-aided). The finals were a different story however, as Gay took the win in 9.87, with Bromell and Rodgers behind him in 9.96 and 9.97, all wind legal marks, respectively.
