It's been a tough 8-9 months for me. I'm taking every race like it is my last. I really wanted to break the American Record and not at a small meet. I wanted to do it somewhere that mattered. It was a great day and I'm glad to be here. This was my tenth American record.

The first jump they didn't mark. Something was wrong with the machine. The next one, I ran through. I was trying to make it on one jump, so I was a little upset after the first one. On the third one, I got it so I just shut it down.

I feel pretty good (going in the IAAF World Championships) knowing that the competition is going to be really tough. No one expected me to win Outdoors, I know they're going to be coming after me. It's going to be a real good competition.

I didn't jump my best today, but the way it worked out today was good enough to win. I took a chance after missing my first attempt at 2.22 meters/7 feet 3.25 inches. I either had to make 2.25m/7-4.5 or bow out of the competition in fifth or sixth place.

Everyone knew coming into the competition that it was wide open. Any one of five or six of us had a chance to win.

The fans were very supportive. The track was very fast and I could use my speed to my advantage. This was like a little vacation for me from graduate school, as it turned out it was a good vacation. Now I have to find a way to get out of school for a week.

Everything just seemed to come together today. I was just so excited after the winning toss. I knew it felt good when it left my hand, but then I say it land and I just couldn't control my emotions. I kept jumping around. I was so very excited. My training has been going great with the spin technique. I've been waiting for this big throw.

You never know what's going to happen in the competition, but I was confident that throw (63-2 &) might hold up. I think I had the lead by just a couple of inches before the big toss.

Walker is currently ranked No.1 in the world by IAAF rankings.

"My training is finally starting to come around. This was a good sign today heading to the World Championships. I competed on a bit of a different sequence today. Most of the other vaulters were jumping at different heights. I just thought that my sequence worked better for me. My first clearance at 5.75 (18-10 &) was a good jump. Probably my best of the competition."

In particular I've been working on my speed and getting off the ground well at the outset. My goal here was to make the team. I think we all have aspirations of winning the world championships. The U.S. has a number of the top vaulters ranked among the top 20. I think this works to our advantage during international competition.

I've been working hard to train consistently and train healthy. This has been a big factor in my development.

Women's High Jump Winner, Chaunte Howard
I was scared and just hoping that my training would pull me through. I took a whole week off (two weeks ago) because I had the flu. I was just trying to hang on today. I wanted the other ladies to do well, but I wanted to do well too. This is my first U.S. title.

Women's 3,000m winner, Carrie Tollefson
With five laps to go there was a box and I couldn't get by anyone. I didn't want to surge ahead quite this early, but I had no other choice. The pace was pretty reserved through 2k. I didn't know exactly how fast we were going, but I felt comfortable."

I'm excited about going to the World Championships. I don't want to pass up the opportunity to compete .Since the Olympics I've had a lot of serious injuries, so I haven't been able to race very much. During the early portion of the race I was worried about the people up front. Runners like Sarah (Schwald) can run fast off a slower pace. So I took that into consideration when I made my move.

Men's Shot Put winner, Reese Hoffa
I didn't cover a lot of ring and was throwing flat but I hit one. I really wanted to make the world team. The guys I was throwing against were all world champions.

I'm a little scared (about retaining his lead in the Visa Championship Series) because we have some of the best athletes in the world here but I'm happy about my win. If I win the Visa Championship Series that's great, but if not I won't be disappointed.

Women's Long Jump winner, Akiba McKinney
I don't want to forget about it (previous disappointments at Olympic Trials and 2005 Nationals) it's what lights the fire. I've been focusing mainly on my run. I wasn't expecting anything today. I didn't know I had won until Grace (Upshaw) told me.

Men's 3,000 meters winner, Adam Goucher
Coming into this race I felt terrible. It feels good to feel bad and win. I flew home to Portland after U.S. cross country last week and flew here. I found out a few days ago that my wife (Kara) got into a big car accident in Portland and that's given me a lot of stress. She got banged up pretty good with some whiplash on her muscles on the left side.

I'm going to do both, World Indoors and World Cross Country. It's really nice to be back out there and I know I can compete with these guys.

Men's 1500 meter winner, Chris Lukezic
I started out from the back of the pack. I just wanted to be patient.I made a move just before the last lap in order to put myself in position. I'm looking forward to the World Indoors (Championships). This will be a good experience for me.I haven't had too much international experience.

The past 20 weeks or so I've had some very good training sessions. I think I've gotten myself into the best shape I've ever been in.
