The
start of Friday night's steeplechase final.
|
SMU's
Martin Allgeyer leads Jochen Dieckfoss and Daniel
Lincoln.
|
Approaching
the first water barrer, Cal Poly's Ben Bruce leads
Lincoln.
|
Lincoln,
the two-time defending champion, was widely regarded
as the best steeplechaser in the field...
|
...the
question would be if he could still win after winning
the 10,000m final less than 24 hours earlier.
|
|
|
|

|
|
Jordan
Desilets, Lincoln and Allgeyer follow Bruce.
|
Bruce
also led his semi-final early on.
|
Lincoln
and Desilets had season bests within a second of each
other's coming in.
|
Montana
State's Lyle Weese runs near the back of the pack.
|
Florida's
Steve Zieminski and Memphis' Mate Nemeth.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Desilets,
Lincoln and Bruce continue to lead.
|
The
the main question was when Lincoln would make his
move.
|
Early
on, he was content just to run near the front.
|
UTEP's
Bashar Ibrahim also runs near the front.
|
Bruce
drops back but Desilets and Lincoln remain in the
front.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We've
found that Lincoln is hard to photograph over the
barriers because he keeps his head down.
|
Ibrahim
leads NC State's Andy Smith and Clemson's Itay Magidi.
|
Wisconsin's
Isaiah Festa runs near the back of the race.
|
Boston
University's Jochen Dieckfoss.
|
Desilets
and Lincoln continue to lead.
