Savante Stringfellow - 1st, men's long jump:
"I felt pretty good on my first jump. This was a big relief. I
think the
Golden Spike Tour is great because the U.S. gets to see
that we are the best
in the world. I have had a big transition with change of
coaches. I don't
think I was not as focused as I should have been last year. I
was doing a
lot of working out on my own and picking up bad habits. It's
always great
competing here at the Randal Tyson Track."Nicole Teter - 2nd Women's 800 Meters
"I'm pretty happy with how I did today. I keep improving my
time. I got a
2.03 at Boston and a 2.02 here so I am improving. I
positioned myself well
in the beginning and there wasn't a lot of bumping around
for me. I made a
really good move with about 250m to go and that's what got
me second place.
The move early established my position."
Hazel Clark - 3rd Women's 800 Meters
"This race was a little tough for me. This was the first time
I've run this
fast in a while indoors. I'm really just coming back to my
fitness but I
felt really good about it. I led the race which was a little bit
harder but
I felt like a runner. This is about how I wanted to run today.
I'm
pleased."
Milton Campbell - 2nd Men's 400 Meters
"I am pleased with my performance. I'm a little disappointed
with some of
the things that happened in the beginning but you live and
you learn. I
felt like I got a good start. I knew getting to the break would
be critical
because I am a front runner and I really wanted to establish
a race. I was
expecting some pushing and shoving so I was prepared for
that."
Jenny Adams - 3rd Women 60 Meter Hurdles
"I thought I had a great second half. It's hard to recover if you
don't
have an aggressive start. I'm really happy with how I
recovered. If I get
the first half going right then I'll be great."
Daniel Lincoln - 3rd Men 3000 Meter Run
"I came in going for it. I knew it would be close, and I was
nervous. I
was even nervous when I was running. I locked up out of
excitement. I lost
a second in the middle and had a perfect chance. There
was a little
different order, but a nice switch. It was a great race, I just
came up a
little shy."
David Krummenacker - 3rd Men 800 Meter Run
" I thought I did really good today and I was really pleased
because this
was my seconded fastest time ever in indoor. I haven't been
really training
for indoor so I was pretty amazed by that. I am really
focusing on outdoor
this season. My start was really slow. I haven't been doing
a lot of speed
work indoor. It's hard to get out fast if you are not doing
much speed. I
felt real good about my race overall."
Allen Johnson - 5th Men 60 Meter dash and 1st 60 Meter
Hurdles
"I think I did ok today. It wasn't one of my best races but you
can't have
the best day every day. It was good enough for what I
wanted to do today.
I wanted to have a good 60 which I did and I came back and
won the hurdles
so it was a good day's work. I started off pretty well,
basically
everything was pretty good. What I do for indoors is going to
set me up for
outdoors."
Gail Devers -1st Women 60 Meter Dash and 1st 60
Meter Hurdles
"Today was a tough workout. I needed the work. I dedicated
both my races to
my high school math teacher. She was injured in a freak
accident. She
taught that first impressions are important and was
meticulous in what we
had to turn in. I needed to work on my speed for the hurdles.
I didn't feel
so good for the start and third step. I tried to settle myself
down on the
hurdles. I needed a double workout today and I'm thankful
for that. I've
been finding passion for running because I really don't like
to run. I like
to teach through my track. Running for other people is a
great feeling. My
focus is on (Indoor) Nationals and the Olympics aren't my
focus right now.
Alan Webb - 4th Men's Mile
"I felt the pace was real fast in the beginning. This is my first
mile of
the year and I'd new it'd be fast. I didn't know how it'd affect
me. This
is a great finish to a two-week sting. I feel great and will
focus to get
reading for the Olympic Trials.
Stacy Dragila - 1st Women's Pole Vault
"I kind of started out here and there and it took me a couple
of runs to get
back into rhythm. My jump today gave me a lot of
confidence. I'm really
pleased with today. I would have loved to had a world
record this week, but
this just keeps me hungry for nationals (in two weeks).
It's fun to be indoors in an intimate setting like this. I love
coming
here, it's great."
