Women: 100 hurdles

Pictures and commentary by Doug Speck

Another great field did some fine running over the short hurdles! Oklahoma prep (Jenks HS) Emily Waibel started it off early, blazing 13.78w (+3.7) in Heat 1. Amazing Bishop Dunne of Dallas HS frosh Ashlee Williams, who does not appear on any pre- high school lists in any event, was the Heat 2 winner at 13.86w (+2.4) over Latasha Pharr (Rowan Express, NC) 13.90w, and Kim Jones (Greensboro Pacesetters) 13.93w. Charlynna Foster (Univ So Carolina), winner here five years ago in the 400 Meter hurdles, took Heat 4 in 14.09w (+2.9), with National Prep leader Nichole Denby (So Cal Cheetahs/North HS, Riverside) 13.64w (+2.6) to take Heat 4. Brandi Hogan's 14.04w from Heat 1 did not make the Finals!!!

The Finals was dynamite, with another barely wind-aided race (+2.3) controlled by Nichole Denby, who emerged with her best time of the year at 13.36w, a contest she described after the run as "my best race ever." Amazingly, Ashlee Williams, the Dallas prep frosh made the U.S. team with her 13.55w run in second, with Emily Waibel recording her best time ever at 13.69w in third. Sixth place was 13.89w!
