I tested my hammie out fully yesterday, and it passed. I am
all ready to go! The start list has me ranked 12th on PBs but some athletes have
no time entered and some are hand times converted to electronic so they are not
totally accurate. Also PBs don't give a good reflection of the field as they could
be from years ago. My guess is I am probably ranked between 12th and 20th for
what it's worth (not much!). |  |

felled in NCAA 1500M final
Nick Willis had an unfortunate end to a stand-out
debut season on the US collegiate circuit when he was felled in the final of the
1500m at the NCAA finals in Sacramento, California yesterday (14 June).
Willis
had qualified fastest for the final at the national inter-collegiate championships
with a personal best 3:42.16 in winning his semifinal. He was in a class of his
own in the semifinal, taking the lead just before the bell and surging to a 20-metre
lead with 250m to go, then holding that to the finish.
However, in the final
Willis was running in third position in a tight bunch just after completing the
first lap when another runner clipped his heels as he tried to make a move to
the outside. He fell to the ground and, by the time he got back to his feet, he
was trailing by some 75m and never got back in contention.
Willis now plans
to race in Europe before returning to NZ during July. | |

into US finals.
Hutt Valley athlete Nick Willis has qualified for the US national
inter-collegiate finals after a dominant performance in the 1500m at the Mideast
Regional championships at the weekend.
Running for the University of Michigan,
Willis beat a quality field by two seconds to record 3min 45.45sec, a stadium
record at the Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium and the third-fastest time by a New
Zealander in the past year. Only Rees Buck and Ben Ruthe have run faster in the
past season.

 |
| | The
run qualifies Nick for the NCAA national finals in Sacramento, California, where
he will be one of two University of Michigan runners, along with fellow middle-distance
athlete Nate Brannen. |

athletics meeting in Darwin, Australia. The NZ under 23 team was the overall
winner, beating Australian state sides and teams from the Pacific region.
Jacinda won her specialist 800m event in 2min 16.95sec, and was third in
the 400m (61.73sec); while Neil was second in both the 800m (1:56.20) and 1500m
(4:08.16) and helped NZ to a win in the 4 x 400m relay. Another Hutt Valley
athlete, Brad Quinn, won his specialist javelin event with a best throw of 55.86m,
while he also took out the shot put and hammer events. |
