(20-Jun) -- With Samsung Diamond League 1500m champion Morgan Uceny to
pace them, Nicole Sifuentes, Anna Pierce and Lucy Van Dalen all bettered
the Olympic Games "A" standard for 1500 meters at a low-key meeting at
Mesa College in San Diego tonight.
Sifuentes, a Canadian, won the race in 4:04.74, followed by the American
Pierce (4:05.52) and New Zealander Van Dalen (4:05.76), all under the
IAAF Olympic Games "A" standard of 4:06.00. For both Sifuentes and Van
Dalen, their marks were also personal bests. For Pierce, it was her
best mark since August, 2010, and gives her an extra advantage heading
into the USA Olympic Trials in Eugene, Ore., which open on Friday.
Other finishers in the race were Canadians Sheila Reid (4:07.77 PB) and
Malindi Elmore (4:11.62). Uceny jogged to the finish in 4:26.17.
