2. On her final attempt, Erin Gilreath unleashed a throw of 73.87m/242-4 to break her own American record in the hammer and post the top mark in the world so far in 2005.

5. Justin Gatlin's 100m win on Saturday, combined with his 200m win on Sunday, made him the first man to win U.S. 100 and 200- meter titles in the same year since Kirk Baptiste in 1985.

6. Allyson Felix's winning time of 22.13 in the women's 200m beat her own previous 2005 world leader of 22.14, run on the same track at the adidas Track Classic in May.

7. Sanya Richard's winning time of 49.28 in the 400 meters, followed by the second and third place finishes of Dee Dee Trotter (49.88) and Monique Henderson (49.96), respectively, marked the first time in history three American women have broken 50 seconds in the same race.

8. In the 110 hurdles, 34-year-old Allen Johnson crossed the line in 12.99 seconds, his fastest time since 2003 and the fastest in the world in 2005, to win his seventh U.S. outdoor title.
