Open Women's Javelin Throw: Kim Kreiner, Nike, Winner (58.95m/193-05)

On her performance today.

"I feel good about my performance. I wish I would have thrown a little farther, at least the 'B' standard. I was hoping for 200 ft., but to come out and throw 58m twice in a series is pretty good. That's my best series this year."

On the World Championships:

"I'm fairly confident on being able to get to go. I'm really excited. My technique is where I need it to be, and I just need one throw to put it all together. This year I'm a little more prepared (to go to the World Championships), having been to the Olympics last year."

Women 400m Dash Open, prelims: Monique Henderson, UCLA, 3rd in heat #3, 52.06

On her heat:

"I knew who was in the race with me (other 4x400 gold medalists), and I knew we'd be bringing it home together."

"I'm possibly running the 200m also this weekend. I don't know about the 200m yet. I'm entered in it, but my coach & I will decide after the 400m on Saturday."

Women 400m Dash Open, prelims: Monique Hennegan, Nike, winner of heat #1, second fastest qualifying time, 51.80

On the wind:

"It was real windy. I really felt it coming out of the blocks and on the homestretch."

Her plan for the semi-finals:

"I want to run fast enough to get a good lane in the finals."

On her training:

"I feel that at this point in time I am further ahead than last year."

On this being a post-Olympic year:

"Everything happens so fast. We just came back from Europe, and now is already trials. Time just flew by. I'm taking it all in, basically, but I'm ready."

What will it take to get top three at the World Championships:

"I need to run smart and keep consistently training. I think I can do it."

Women 400m Dash Open, prelims: Sanya Richards, Nike, winner of heat #2 and fastest qualifying time, 51.79

On the wind:

"Last time I ran here it wasn't as windy, but it was hotter."

Her plan for the semi-finals:

"This round I wanted to work on getting out for the first 200 meters, and for the semifinals, I'm going to take it out for the first 300m and work on keeping my exact pace for 300 meters. Then, for the finals, I'll come out and execute the whole race well."

Women 400m Dash Open, prelims: Dee Dee Trotter, adidas, winner of heat #3, third fastest qualifying time, 51.81

"I'm in the best shape of my life, and it shows. I'm looking to run well here, but not peak yet. I'm looking to qualify for the team and run a couple of good races. It's been a tough year, because I was juggling getting my degree in criminal justice, training, and running on the pro circuit. But now I have my degree, and more time for extra training."

Men's 400m Dash Open, prelims: Derrick Brew, Nike, winner of heat #3, second fastest qualifying time, 45.48

"This day is just to get you ready for the next few rounds. You just feel it through and try to win each heat. Tomorrow, I'll try to finish in the top four and win my heat to keep moving on."

Men's 400m Dash Open, prelims: Jeremy Wariner, adidas, winner of heat #1 and fastest qualifying time, 45.29

What did this race tell you today?

"It tells me today that I'm in good shape right now. I ran a very easy race out there, and I was trying to do is qualify for the next round."

We all want to be known as great quarter-milers, and be the best in the US and in the world.

On the wind:

"I could feel it coming out of the blocks and on the first turn. After that, it was fine on the backstretch and helped me out on the final stretch.

Men's 400m Dash Open, prelims: Darold Williamson, Baylor, winner of heat #4 and fourth fastest qualifying time, 45.58

Pressure on him for this race:

"There's not a lot of pressure for me, but for my teammate, since he's the defending world champion. I'm out here just to prove myself, I guess. There's not that much pressure. It's just me coming out and proving my quality, and putting on a good show."

On his rivalry with Jeremy Wariner:

"There isn't any rivalry. We're really close friends. I'm always at his house, he's at my house, playing video games, hanging out, and we travel together. We're just really good friends. I think that's what's most important. As long as we continue to be good friends, a race will never come between us, we'll just be true competitors, and run faster.

Men's 800m Run Open, prelims: Jonathan Johnson, unattached, second in heat #2, 1:50.44

"It feels great. I'm more motivated to run and glad to be out in the pro circuit."

On racing tomorrow:

"I'm not going to think about that today. I'm going to celebrate this minor victory today, and focus on tomorrow, tomorrow."

Men's 800m Run Open, prelims: Duane Solomon, unattached, first in heat #4 and fastest qualifying time, 1:48.90

"I planned to get a good start and run hard because I was in lane 9. I wanted to run comfortable the first 400m so I had enough left to kick. After 500m I was next to last, then the last 150m I was able to build up and finish strong."

On his season:

"This has been an up and down season, and I came out here hoping to redeem myself after a bad NCAA meet."

Open Men's 110m Hurdles, prelims: Allen Johnson, Nike, second in heat #2, 13.76

On his fall in Athens:

Open Men's 110m Hurdles, prelims: Dominique Arnold, unattached, first in heat #4, 13.52

On the race plan today:

"I wanted to work on getting out of the blocks and the first three to five hurdles because I've been having problems this season with my start. Once I got through the first few hurdles I shut down and worked on my finish."

On his race:

"I feel pretty good, but I cramped up a little in the middle and the false start kind of drew out the race."

On the next round:

"I'm going to try to finish in the top four and stay focused on my technique."

Open men's 110 meter hurdles, prelims: Terrence Trammell, Mizuno, first in heat #1 and first in qualifying, 13.37

"In the first round, I'm always nervous. I try to get the jitters out. I made through fairly easily, even though my technique is not as good as it's been in my training."

Open men's 110 meter hurdles, prelims: Michael Mitchum, Oregon, first in heat #2, 13.75

"I felt pretty good. This was a good, easy race for me. I'm just having fun. My goal is to make it to the finals."

Open Men's Discus Throw, final: Ian Waltz, unattached, 64.54m/ 211-09

"64.54m at a national championship is pretty good, considering the conditions (wind). I couldn't be happier to win. The adrenalin was flowing and I couldn't feel my legs, but overall, I felt good."

On his training partner, Jarred Rome, qualifying as well for World Championships:

"It's awesome. Last year, we went one-two (at the US Olympic trials), and this year, we did it again. It makes the experience so much better with him there."

Open Men's Long Jump, final: Miguel Pate, Nike, winner, 8.35m/ 27-04.75, -0.4m/sec wind.

"It's been a long two years, and I'm happy to be at this point."

On his injury that kept him out of competition for the last few years:

"It means a lot, because it gives me a new perspective on things. Before the injury, I thought I was invincible. But after the surgery, I'm just trying to have fun. That's what matters, like the way it was when you were in college."

On beating Phillips:

"It's huge. He's a great competitor, and to beat him, and be national champion, I can't even put it into perspective. There are no words for how I feel."

On a new rivalry between him & Phillips:

We were in it before I got hurt: me, Phillips, and Savante Stringfellow. Now I'm back, and it's always good to have a rivalry, because it brings out your best competition.

Open Men's Long Jump, final: Dwight Phillips, Nike, second place, 8.28m/27-02.00, +0.0m/sec wind.

On finishing second:

"I'm very angry right now, but Miguel was the better man today. This is the first time I've been contested in a while, and I got to make sure it doesn't happen again."

Open Women's 5000m, final: Shalane Flanagan, Nike, 15:10.96, winner, fastest American women's time this year

"My style is to go out and run fast. I love to run fast. You come to a championship meet, and you know you have to run well. I wanted to make the team very badly. I knew I just needed to attack it. I completely ran within myself tonight, and it worked out very well."

Open Women's 400m hurdles, prelims: Lashinda Demus, Nike, 54.68, first in heat #2 and fastest qualifying time.

"Technically, it was a good race, and I ran well. I needed the first round to just get through it. I'm very satisfied and very happy."

Open Women's High Jump, final: Amy Acuff, Asics, 1.90m/6- 02.75, winner.

"My goal was to come out and clear the height. Everyone seemed to be a little off so I snuck in there and won. I was glad they went up 5 cm. That worked to my advantage."

On last month's foot injury at the Adidas Track Classic:

"I tore some ligaments in my take-off ankle at the adidas meet. It was really touch and go, itt really came down to the wire, being able to jump at this meet. I'm really lucky that I was able to jump here, and I can't believe I won the meet. I was just hoping to clear the bar here."

On World Championships and being prepared:

"I think I have plenty of time to get everything in order for World Championships. I look forward to competing healthy and getting back to jumping in practice."

On the conditions today:

"[The conditions] were fine. We'd always like for it to be warm and sunny, but it was a really good track from the performance standpoint tonight."

Open Men's 1500m, prelims: Alan Webb, Nike, first in heat #1, 3:44.32.

"It felt good, comfortable and good. It's the rounds. You just try to do what you have to do to advance. I got knocked around a bit but I felt like I'm getting used to getting knocked around a bit in the preliminary heats. I had a great spring. My fitness is great. This is my first 1500m of the year. To run a good tactical race is great."

Open Men's 1500m, prelims: Rob Myers, Reebook, first in heat #2 and first overall in qualifying, 3:38.96.

"I felt good and confident, but you don't want to be overconfident in this race. I just wanted to be in a good position for the last lap. Jon Rankin took it out, and that was fine with me, because I just went along for the ride and just made sure I was in the top two."

Open Men's 1500m, prelims: Jason Lunn, Nike, first in heat #3, 3:40.78.

"This is my first race this season. I just wanted to feel it out and get in the top three or four. I felt like I'm in shape and I'm very happy. I've been training in Palo Alto even though I'm getting my MBA in Boulder (University of Colorado, Boulder). My training has been going well.

Open Men's Pole Vault, final: Brad Walker, Nike, 5.75m/18- 10.25, winner.

Injuries he's dealt with:

I kind of had a little bit of an injury plague the last few years. This the first year that I've put a full season together out of college (I graduated last year). My training has changed quite a bit and I feel that I'm a lot stronger and in better shape right now. I feel like I'm a little more resilent to injuries and really stronger to avoid the injuries.

Wind:

It was pretty bad early on. It calmed down quite a bit once we got to some of the bigger heights. But early on if you caught it at the right time, you made the cross bar, if you didn't, you didn't, it was pretty on and off.

Toby Stevenson:

How is this year different than last year?

This year's been different because I've had the pressure of being a silver medalist. They expect you to win or get second at every meet. I wanted to come back and legitimize my medal. Today was tough. I kind of got in my own head a little bit. I fully take the blame for a pathetic showing of vaulting that I did. I'm just disappointed in myself, since I got third. I'm an athlete, and I love competing. To be able to represent the US this summer, like I did last year, it's incredible and that makes up for it.

Nick Hysong:

Differences this year and last year:

I don't think I need to make amends for last year. Last year, we sent an unbelievable team to the Olympics, and I was actually proud of the team we sent to the Olympics. I'd love myself to be on that team but circumstances and it wasn't in God's plan. This year I've very lucky to have friends like Brad and Toby push me along, get me fired up, because I had a little bit of shake in my confidence, had to bring that around. I think that showed tonight in the tough conditions that I managed to jump decently well. I didn't jump necessarily high but I jumped on good size poles and I have a decent chance to jump 580s and 590s. I'd really like to thank Toby for his support in the last few weeks, he's been very generous and supportive.

Toby:

Nick pulled me along with him when I was coming up, and hopefully I'm pulling Brad, since he's pushing the hell out of me. Brad was incredible today. Not only is it a thrill to make the team, but to make the team with these two guys. We're going to go over there and take one-two-three.

Open Women's Discus Throw, final: Becky (Rebecca) Breisch, Nebraska, winner, 62.92m/206-5 on last throw.

"I feel unbelievable! I was hoping for the best, but this group of throwers, you never know what will happen. This is what I train for. This is great, considering I just came off of two elbow surgeries. I can't wait to represent the United States at the World Championships."

Open Women's Discus Throw, final: Aretha Thurmond, Nike, third place, 61.77m/202-08.

"Hey, I made the team. It was an interesting competition. There were several lead changes."

On the competition:

"It was nighttime, colder than normal, so competing was a little different. I wish I would have thrown a lot farther. I know I should have won the competition, but the goal was at least to make the team."

Open Men's 10km, final: Abdi Abdiraham, Nike, winner, 28:10.38.

"I was going to do whatever it takes to win this race. In the last lap, I was in a good position. I was comfortable with my kick. I was feeling great. My body was feeling very comfortable. I knew I had it won in the last 10 meters. I'm training for the 10k for Helsinki."

Open Men's 10km, final: Meb Keflezighi, Nike, second place, 28:10.57.

"I felt fine. You have to put it into perspective. This is my first track since last Trials. I thought I could beat Abdi. At the end of the day, he won it, but we're friends. We're good friends, we warm up together, talk together. I'm just glad both of us are going, and going to win it (World Championships)."
