It's likely Colleen Quigley could have beaten her anyway, but she had a chance for top 3 until.....
slipped on last water barrier while side-by-side with Quigley. Finishing 4th is hard enough, but to do it that way is just gut wrenching.

She tried to pull a fast one and accellerated right before the barrier, then overshot the step, missed her spikes and slipped off the top.
Quiqley had a big sprint, and I think would have beaten her either way.
she was wearing nike shoes and just was signed by adidas...
I was wondering the same thing. Does adidas make a good SC spike?
They used to i have a pair.
She signed with adidas this week and has ran for Nike school MSU until then. She even ran the prelim in a MSU jersey. Doubtful she had time or wanted to break in a new brand of spikes before such an important meet with all of 2-3 days to do it. Looked like it was going to be a big battle but just slipped.
Why does it seem so many people fall into the Hayward water jump.pit? That is 3 in 2 meets. The Michigan kid at nc's, Nicole bush here in the preliminary and O'Connor in the final.

The real question here is why do only Michigan State and Michigan grads fall into the pit? CONSPIRACY
VID?

Maybe the top is slippery? Or the approach could be weird.
The reason for the fall by BOTH women is that their training doesn't allow them to still have their legs at the end of the steeple....Walt has not proven the ability to coach at the pro level. It's not college. Training needs to be revisited.
