10 RECORDS THAT COULD FALL

 

Sunday: The United States' final act in Peru was its most impressive of all, with the men's 4x400 relay setting a World U20 record by clocking 3:00.33 to take down the mark of 3:01.09 that was set at the 2004 World U20 Championships in Italy by the American quartet of Brandon Johnson, Jason Craig, Kerron Clement and LaShawn Merritt. Damien CA graduate Zach Shinnick, a USC signee, teamed with adidas professional Josephus Lyles, Lakeside DeKalb GA sophomore Brian Herron and Keller Fossil Ridge TX graduate Sean Hooper, a Texas Tech signee, to help the U.S. win its fifth consecutive 4x400 gold medal and 15th in meet history. The victory also secured the 10th sweep of both 4x400 relays for the Americans and their fifth in a row, giving the U.S. 22 golds and 54 overall medals in the three-day meet.

Knoch PA graduate Jordan Geist, an Arizona signee, set the meet, national high school and U.S. U20 records in the men's 6-kilogram shot put with his third-round effort of 72-3 (22.02m). Geist broke the American U20 record of 71-10.25 (21.90m) set by Wake Forest's John Maurins at the 2015 USATF Junior Outdoor Championships. Geist's previous best performance with the 6-kilogram implement came Feb. 7 with an indoor mark of 71-10 (21.89m) at the Hempfield Spartans Competition. On his first attempt, Geist surpassed the national outdoor 6-kilogram record set last year by Esperanza CA graduate and UCLA signee Bronson Osborn with a mark of 70-7.75 (21.53m). Geist improved to the No. 5 World U20 performer in history to secure the third consecutive gold medal for the Americans and 16th in meet history.

Connecticut freshman Eric van der Els won the men's 1,500-meter gold medal, clocking a meet-record 3:43.16 to eclipse the 2005 standard of 3:45.72 by Canadian Mike Woods. Canada's Kyle Madden also ran faster than the previous mark, securing silver in 3:44.19, with St. Joseph Notre Dame CA graduate Cooper Teare, an Oregon signee, adding a bronze for the U.S. in 3:46.46. It was the sixth consecutive title for the Americans and 12th in meet history.

College of the Sequoias CA freshman Quincy Hall broke the meet record in the men's 400-meter hurdles, clocking 49.02 to help the Americans extend their longest winning streak at the Pan Am U20 meet to eight consecutive titles and 15 overall. Hall, who entered the meet as the World U20 leader at 49.39, eclipsed the mark of 49.31 set in 2009 by fellow American William Wynne to improve to the No. 9 all-time U.S. U20 performer. Cory Poole of East Orange NJ, a Florida signee, added bronze for the Americans in 50.14.

Redondo Union CA graduate Tate Curran secured the men's pole vault gold medal for the U.S. for the second straight meet and 10th time overall with a 17-0.75 (5.20m) clearance. Valley Vista AZ graduate Cole Riddle placed fourth for the Americans at 15-9 (4.80m).

Iowa freshman Laulauga Tausaga Collins opened the second day for the United States and won the women's discus gold medal with a sixth-round throw of 194-6 (59.29m) to surpass the 1997 meet record of 189-10 (57.88m) held by former UCLA star Seilala Sua. Abraham Lincoln CA graduate Obi Amaechi, a Princeton commit, placed fourth for the U.S. with a first-round throw of 171-5 (52.24m).

Friday afternoon: Monsignor Donovan NJ graduate Alyssa Wilson, a UCLA signee, improved on her own national prep shot put record with a third-round mark of 58 feet, 1 inch (17.70m). Wilson's effort was No. 2 in meet and U.S. Junior history, trailing only Ole Miss star and 2015 Pan Am U20 champion Raven Saunders. Saunders holds the meet record at 59-11.25 (18.27m) and the American U20 record at 60-2.50 (18.35m). Wilson earned the third consecutive women's shot put gold medal and 13th in meet history for the Americans. Arizona State freshman Samantha Noening captured bronze with a fourth-round mark of 51-4.50 (15.66m).

George Walton Comprehensive GA sophomore Tia Jones and Agoura CA graduate Tara Davis secured gold and silver for the Americans in the women's 100-meter hurdles.

Davis returned to competition less than an hour later and won the women's long jump gold with a wind-aided leap of 21-4.25 (6.51m), the best mark in meet history, although she won't get credit for the record because it was a wind-aided performance. It was third consecutive gold for the Americans in the event and 10th overall in meet history. Davis also helped the Americans sweep both Pan American U20 long jump titles for the fourth time and first since 1989. Tissana Hickling of St. Jago High in Jamaica captured silver with a leap of 20-10.50 (6.36m) and Texas A&M signee Tyra Gittens of The Ensworth School TN, representing Trinidad and Tobago, secured bronze with a mark of 20-5 (6.22m).

Walton is only the second prep athlete to break 45 seconds and the first since American Darrell Robinson set the national high school record of 44.69 in 1982. It was silver and bronze for the Americans, with adidas professional Josephus Lyles clocking 45.30 and Damien CA graduate Zach Shinnick, a USC signee, clocking 45.98.

Anaheim Canyon CA graduate Rachel Baxter, a Virginia Tech signee, and Stephen F. Austin commit Carson Dingler, a Mary Persons GA graduate, swept the top two spots in the women's pole vault for the Americans. Baxter cleared a personal-best 14-5.50 (4.41m), the No. 3 clearance all-time by a prep female, to break the meet record of 14-5.25 (4.40m) set in 2013 by Canada's Alysha Newman and Venezuela's Robeilys Peinado. Dingler cleared 13-9.25 (4.20m) to give the U.S. its first sweep since 2011 and fifth in meet history.

Khalifa St. Fort of Trinidad and Tobago became the first athlete, male or female, in meet history to capture consecutive gold medals in the 100-meter dash, clocking 11.32 seconds. Americans secured silver and bronze with Clemson freshman Rebekah Smith in 11.55 and Miami (Florida) signee Symone Mason, a Miami Southridge graduate, running 11.62. St. Fort won the title in 11.31 in Canada in 2015.

USC freshman TJ Brock became the first American since 2011 to win the men's 100-meter title in 10.45, edging Brazilians Paulo Camilo de Oliveira (10.46) and Felipe Bardi dos Santos (10.47). Brock won the 11th gold medal in meet history for the U.S., which also had Baylor freshman Maxwell Willis finish eighth in 10.77.

Missouri freshman Ja'Mari Ward also won the first men's long jump title for the U.S. since 2011 with a wind-aided, second-round leap of 25-6 (7.77m), holding off a late charge by Brazil's Gabriel dos Santos Oliveira, who elevated to silver with his final-round effort of 25-4.50 (7.73m). Texas Tech freshman Justin Hall placed sixth for the Americans with a wind-aided jump of 24-5 (7.44m). Ward is the seventh U.S. long jumper to capture gold in meet history and helped the Americans sweep both Pan American U20 long jump titles for the fourth time and first since 1989.

Houston Langham Creek TX junior Eric Edwards Jr. secured the gold medal for the U.S. in the men's 110-meter hurdles by clocking 13.33, just off his personal-best 13.32 from the USATF Junior Outdoor Championships. Upland CA graduate Joseph Anderson, an Oregon signee, captured bronze in 13.43. Edwards Jr. is the 13th American to win gold in the event in meet history.

Arkansas freshman Taylor Werner nearly took down the meet record in the women's 3,000 meters, winning in 9:16.12, just missing the mark of 9:16.05 set in 1989 by fellow American Lisa Harvey. It was the second gold medal in a row and 10th in meet history in the event for the U.S., which also had Walter Johnson MD junior Abigail Green place 10th in 10:19.66.

Cuba's Roxana Gomez de Calderon prevailed in the women's 400 in a meet-record 51.46, taking down the 2007 mark of 51.72 set by Jamaica's Bobby-Gaye Wilkins. American Jaevin Reed, a Texas A&M freshman, also ran faster than the previous meet record by taking silver in 51.71. USC freshman Kyra Constantine, representing Canada, captured bronze in 52.63 and Alabama freshman Takyera Roberson placed fourth for the U.S. in 52.89.  Gomez de Calderon became only Cuba's second gold medalist in the event, the first since Mairelin Fuentes in 1997.

Chile's Claudio Romero won the men's discus with a fifth-round throw of 203-8 (62.09m), edging American Turner Washington, a Canyon del Oro AZ graduate and Arizona signee, who captured silver with a second-round throw of 201-1 (61.30m). Fort Bend Hightower TX graduate Gabriel Oladipo, a Texas A&M signee, placed sixth for the U.S. at 189-8 (57.81m).
