1999 Junior Nationals

Women's 3000 meters

Pictures and commentary by Doug Speck

Oregon prep star Mariel Ettinger (La Grande HS) took the early lead here with 72-2:28 and 3:44 before Sara Gorton (Mountain Pointe HS, Phoenix, Az), Danielle Eckhartz (St. John's Univ), and Victoria Chang (Punahou HS, Kailua, Hi) took over at the 1600 at 5:08.7. At the 1600 mark Gorton pressed the pace, with Chang moving into second. At 2000 meters (5 laps) Gorton was 6:25.6 and Chang 6:27.9. Gorton, a member of the U.S. Junior team in the World Cross- Country championships this past winter, continued to edge away, crossing the six lap point at 7:43.9 (Chang 7:50.1). Sarah was 8:22.4 with one lap to go, with 8:58.5 at the end of seven laps. Gorton finished at 9:36.29, the fastest prep time of the year, with Chang 9:47.71 in second. After ten laps of leading at the National Scholastic Meet the previous weekend over the two mile and mile distance before suffering the withering last lap finishers of others in the eighth circuit of the two and final lap of the mile, it was nice to see the pleasant Arizonan Gorton win here in a fine time.
