Verizon Men's 100 Meters:
John Capel, 1st place: "This was one of the best starts I've
had in my life. This feels a lot better than last week."
Adidas Women's 100m hurdles:
Jenny Adams, 1st place: "This is just another step on the way
to the Olympic Trials. I want to continue to run faster, more
efficient and not hold anything back. As I compete more and
more, my times will continue to get lower."
Portland Tribune Men's Shot Put:
Christian Cantwell: "I am 'first throw' kind of guy. The
first throw is usually the best. You can't ignore these others
guys with these 70+ foot throws. If you think I am the
favorite after this, then you are mistaken."
"The fans here were quite a treat because they are never this
close. It was pretty special to yell and grunt."
"I said last year I would get the world record within four
years, but now I am thinking of moving that time table up.
Right now my goal is not to get the world-record, but 23
meters."
Alaska Airlines Men's 400M Hurdles:
Ian Weekly, 1st place: "I am just trying to make sure that I
am on pace. My strength was there even though it was a bit
windy down the stretch, which is why my time was slower. I've
just got to tighten up on my technique."
Horizon Men's High Jump:
Jamie Nieto, 1st place: "Things are coming together. This
helps me know my coach's training is on point. Things are
moving in the right direction."
Verizon Men's Long Jump:
Walter Davis, 2nd place: "Everything has been going good, I
have not competed in too many meets, but I have been training a
lot. Anyone could have a good day and today I think I did."
Visa Women's 200 Meters:
Allyson Felix, 3rd place: "We are still doing a lot of
training. It's definitely difficult to sit back and be
patient. I got out there and ran decent. I am no where near
peaking right now."
Sunny D Intense Sport Women's 800 Meters:
Nicole Teter, 1st place: "I wanted to work on getting out to a
fast start because when you do so, finishing becomes easier."
"This is my third attempt at the (Olympic) Trials and I think
it's my year. Two years ago, I started some crazy cross-
training about two-three hours a day. Since then, I have been
consistently qualifying."
American Track & Field Women's 3,000 Meters:
Amy Rudolph, 1st place: I felt good until our pace maker
dropped out before the start. Carrie (Tollefson) and I worked
together the first three-quarters of the race. I felt like I
got stronger as the race went on. I'm really happy, I'm
running well."
Visa Women's Pole Vault:
Mary Sauer, 1st place: "It was a little tough in the beginning
with the rain, but I got going once the weather cleared up. We
do notice the crowd and there is good energy which helps all
the athletes."
American Track & Field Women's Discus:
Aretha Hill, 1st place: "I felt really good, all my family and
friends are here from Seattle which was great."
"This is a great meet and I just love coming out here. My
training is going really well. I just want to stay healthy and
get ready for the next meet."
