Baylor's
Wil Fitts leads the way on the first lap of the second
800m quarterfinal heat.
|
R-L:
Fitts, David Krummenacker, Sam Burley, David Paulsen,
Lubert Lewis, and Floyd Thompson.
|
Burley
(behind Fitts) was the 2003 NCAA 800m champion as
a senior at Penn.
|
David
Krummenacker won the 2003 World Indoor title in this
event.
|
Recent
Georgetown graduate Jesse O'Connell charged down the
homestretch to win the second quarterfinal...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
...in
1:47.99. Christian Smith of Kansas State finished
second in 1:48.06 to advance.
|
David
Krummenacker (3rd, 1:48.09) and Sam Burley (1:48.18)
also advanced.
|
Though
he hadn't done much of note this year, Krummenacker
was still the race favorite.
|
The
Nike Farm Team's Andrew Neugebauer (6th, 1:48.64)
missed advancing by less than half of a second.
|
Paulsen
finished seventh in 1:48.84.
|

|
Jonathan
Johnson, who had won the NCAA title just under one
month earlier, gets ready for the third quarterfinal
heat.
|
Current
UConn runner Joel Legare, running in his first Olympic
Trials, would finish sixth in 1:49.4.
|
L-R:
Elliott Blount, Jonathan Johnson, and James Hatch
at the start.
|
Legare
set the pace on the first lap.
|
R-L:
Legare, Hatch, Johnson, Blount, and Brian Rue.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Behind
Johnson, Blount, and Rue are (R-L) Hatch, Derrick
Peterson, Bryan Woodward, and Kevin Elliott.
|
Penn's
Courtney Jaworski runs at the back of the pack.
|
Johnson
(right) had the lead down the homestretch, but eased
up significantly and finished fourth in 1:48.87 to
advance.
|
Derrick
Peterson, who heartbreakingly did not advance to the
final at the 2000 Trials, advanced safely here, winning
his...
|
...heat
in 1:47.83. James Hatch (2nd, 1:48.40) and Elliott
Blount (3rd, 1:48.67) also advanced.
