400h. What a race. Coming into the final turn, there were nearly 5 guys abreast. You had the three Olympic medallists as well as 2009 world leader Isa Phillips and fellow Jamaican Michael Tinsley. In the end, it was Bershawn Jackson who struggled on hurdle #2 coming on late to get the win. The early leader, Olympic champ Angelo Taylor ended up 4th.
Finals 1 Bershawn Jackson USA 48.38
2 Isa Phillips Jamaica 48.55
3 Kerron Clement USA 48.73
4 Angelo Taylor USA 48.79
5 Michael Tinsley USA 48.80
6 Markino Buckley Jamaica 50.80
7 Kenneth Ferguson USA
Women's 1500:
Who will be the first American Wurth Thomas, Willard, Rowbury, Barringer, Flanagan?
Can anyone get under 4:00?
Can any of them compete for the win?

He saw a little girl in a tank top in the crowd, got distracted
When almost the entire field is wearing the same uniform it's hard to figure out who is who.
Why does Nike do that? Dress everyone in the same retarded uniform? ALl the unners are wearing yellow.
Live strong?
400 in 62.77.
Sea of yellow in the womens 1500...
