L-R:
SMU's Soeren Lindner, Florida's Steve Zieminski, Weber
State's...
|
...Kenneth
Richardson, and Ohio State's Brian Olinger compete
in the steeplechase final.
|
Jochen
Dieckfoss leads Daniel Parker and Brett Holts.
|
Andy
Smith continues to lead the race, with Stanford's
Ian Dobson and Eastern...
|
...Michigan's
Jordan Desilets close behind.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By
this point, it was a three-man race for the win.
|
Jordan
Desilets had finished second in this race...
|
...behind
Daniel Lincoln, one year ago.
|
Dobson
did not contest this event last year, and Andy Smith
finished seventh.
|
Desilets
puts a hand on Smith's back...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
...presumably
to stabilize himself.
|
Of
the three, Dobson has probably had the most success
as a "flat" runner...
|
...(without
the barriers), but the barriers are an equalizer...
|
...for
the three runners. Due to the hot and humid weather
in Austin...
|
...few
of the distance runners set personal bests at this
meet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ohio
State junior Brian Olinger.
|
SMU
sophomore Soeren Lindner finished 13th in 9:15.28.
|
Jordan
Desilets made one strong move and no one could stay
with him.
|
He
cruised to victory in 8:42.64 and broke Anthony Famiglietti's
stadium record...
|
...of
8:47.41, which he set in 2000 while representing the
University of Tennessee.
