Lekote, one of the favorites in the 800m, gets ready
for heat one.
|
Timothy
Dunne, a junior from Missouri and Marc Sylvester,
a freshman from Tennessee, fight for position at the
start.
|
As
they break for the poll, Lekote is up there, as is
Auburn's Fred Sharpe. Trailing are Kentucky's Chad
Johnson and Arkansas' Said Ahmed.
|
Sylvester,
Lekote and Sharpe lead.
|
Down
the home stretch it's Sylvester (2nd, 1:48.59) and

and Said Ahmed (4th, 1:49.41) also qualified out of

Heat
one of two in the mile, L-R: Scott McGowan, Dan Wilson,

Garner and Bashar Ibrahim.

|
|
|
|
Wilson
leads, Strong, Njubi, Ibrahim and Jefferson follow.
|
TCU's
Eliud Njubi leads, followed by Washington's Eric Garner
and UConn's Dan Wilson.
|
Garner,
with a 3:58.93 qualifying time run last week, was
one of the most suprising runners not to advance.
John Jefferson (trailing), an Indiana freshman, won
in 4:06.26.
|
Jefferson
heads to a win, Hunter Spencer finishes second (4:06.27)
and Njubi third (4:06.90). After a slow first half
(2:05) all of the time qualifiers came from heat two.
|
Dan
Wilson tried to move out with less than 200m to go
and ended up stumbling into the infield. He finished
7th in 4:08.41 but apparently filed a protest and
was granted entrance into Saturday's final.

was 8th in 4:03.53.
