Midwestern weather looked to play a major role on the final day of the USA Track & Field National Championships in Des Moines, Iowa, but the storm came from the stars on the track instead of the skies.
The rain which cooled the women’s 5,000 m runners stopped in time for the women’s 400 m hurdles and the highly anticipated showdown between Rio Olympic champ Dalilah Muhammad and new star Sydney McLaughlin. They stood 1-2 on the 2019 world list, with McLaughlin at 53.22 from her Diamond League win in Monaco and Muhammad at 53.61 from her Doha Diamond League victory. And McLaughlin had beaten Muhammad at the Bislett Games in Oslo, Norway in June.
But for the final, McLaughlin had a disadvantage being in lane six, with Muhammad in four and the highly-capable Shamier Little between them in lane five. And Little rocketed out at the start, flying down the backstraight with the lead and Muhammad chasing. They both passed McLaughlin by hurdle five, then Little edging ahead of Muhammad over the sixth hurdle.
Then it all changed. Muhammad shifted into a gear no one has seen from her before and took off, establishing a clear lead over the seventh hurdle and then into the clear over the eighth hurdle and into the final straight. Little faded, McLaughlin moved up, especially on the run-in, while Ashley Spencer, the Olympic bronze medalist in 2016, moved up for third.
Muhammad dominated the race and then the time came up: 52.20, a world record and a goal that Muhammad said she would be chasing this season. She destroyed the 52.34 mark set by Russian Yulia Pechonkina back in 2003 and brushed aside the American Record of Lashinda Demus (52.47) from 2011.
McLaughlin was hardly slow. She finished second in 52.88 and is the only other person besides Muhammad to under 53 seconds this year. Spencer’s 53.11 equaled her lifetime best and is no. 3 on the world list this year; yes, a sweep in Doha is possible.
No one was quite ready for that, but everyone was looking forward to the men’s 200 m, with Noah Lyles defending his 2018 national title, this time against Christian Coleman, the winner of the 100 m. The conditions were still wet and was the case for almost the entire meet, the sprinters ran into a headwind. But off the start, Coleman ran hard on the turn, knowing he needed to build a lead on Lyles to hold off his better top-end speed.
It didn’t work. Lyles stayed close and shifted into passing gear on the straight and into overdrive in the final 35 m to cross in 19.78 against a 0.7 m/s wind (about a 0.04 impact against no wind). Only Lyles, Michael Norman (19.70) and Nigeria Divine Oduduru (19.73 to win the NCAA Champs for Texas Tech) have run faster this year, and all did under much better conditions.
Those two stunners were the clear headlines amongst the clouds at Drake Stadium, but the final day had plenty of other highlights:
● The men’s 110 m hurdles turned out to be one of the most dramatic events of the day. In the semis, NCAA runner-up Daniel Roberts won the first race in 13.30, just ahead of Freddie Crittenden (13.31), but defending champion Devon Allen barely made it in as the last qualifier. In the second race, world leader Grant Holloway was only third, well behind Aaron Mallett, 13.46-13.56.
In the final, no one was sure of what to expect, but Roberts ran smoothly over the first five hurdles and was leading Crittenden when Holloway mounted a charge for the lead. The two SEC rivals were 1-2 and even though Roberts hit the last two hurdles, he was moving best and won in 13.23 (again with a headwind).
Holloway was off-balance, straining toward the finish and dove across the line to ensure a second-place finish over Crittenden, but it was Allen who came up hard on the run-in to grab the third plane ticket to Qatar in 13.38 to 13.39 for Crittenden.
● The men’s 1,500 m was one of the meet’s question marks, with no one actually sure about the condition of 2016 Olympic champ Matthew Centrowitz. He ran smoothly and controlled the race, moving to the front at the bell, shadowed by Craig Engels.
The two ran side-by-side at the front with 250 m to go, then Engels took the lead on the turn. Down the final straight, Engels and Centrowitz broke clear, but it was Engels with the most speed and he completed an indoor mile/outdoor 1,500 m USATF double in 3:44.93, making his first U.S. national team.. Centrowitz, who has had continuing leg problems for more than a year, finished second in 3:44.97 and now has two months to get ready to be a surprise in Doha.
● The women’s 800 m was supposed to be a showcase for Ajee Wilson, a medal contender for Doha, running for her third straight national title and fourth overall. Everyone in the race knew she was the best and she led as she pleased, then turned on the jets with about 180 m to go to win cleanly in 1:57.72. No one in the world outside of Caster Semenya (RSA) has run faster.
Behind her was surprising Hanna Green, who hadn’t broken 2:00 coming into the season, passing Raevyn Rogers for second in the final 60 m and finishing in a lifetime best of 1:58.19, and now – suddenly – no. 5 on the world list for 2019. Rogers finished well for third in 1:58.84.
● The men’s 800 demonstrated the maturity of Donavan Brazier. Formerly a front runner, he now seems able to run off of any pace and controlled the race cleanly and easily, winning with a home-straight sprint in 1:45.62. Clayton Murphy had to get out of a box to find room to run, but moved outside on the home stretch and his speed carried him home second in 1:46.01, with NCAA champ Bryce Hoppel a clear third at 1:46.31.
● Both of the 5,000 m finals were compelling races. Paul Chelimo entered as the two-time defending U.S. champion, but after breaking the race open early, allowed the pace to settle down and a large pack caught up. With a lap to go, there were eight in contention, with Chelimo leading, but with a half-lap remaining, Lopez Lomong – the 10,000 m winner from Friday – had taken charge, with Hassan Mead and Woody Kincaid trying to stay close. Lomong and Chelimo were clear into the straightaway and Lomong had more on the finish to win by 13:25.53-13:25.80.
It was the first time for a U.S. Nationals 5-10 double since Galen Rupp did it in 2012. Lomong does not have the qualifying standard for Doha (13:22.50); Chelimo, Kincaid (third in 13:26.84) and Mead (fourth in 13:28.04) do have the standard.
● In the women’s 5,000 m, the race settled into a final-lap race among four contenders, with Rachel Schneider taking the down down the back straight, shadowed by two-time defending champ Shelby Houlihan. Off the final turn, Houlihan turned on the jets and sprinted to the finish at win in 15:15.50, with Karissa Schweizer (15:17.03) and Elinor Purrier (15:17.46) passing Schneider on the straightaway to finish 2-3. However, Schneider (15:17.91) is also likely to go to Doha, as the finals of 1,500 m and 5,000 m are on the same day, so Houlihan can’t do both. All four have the required qualifying time.
● The women’s 200 m was beset by injuries and withdrawls, but that created opportunities, especially for 5-2 powerhouse Dezerea Bryant. She flew out of the starting blocks and was never challenge on the way to a 22.47 victory and a trip to Doha, ahead of Brittany Brown (22.61) and NCAA champ Angie Annelus (22.71).
● In the women’s Heptathlon, the two U.S. qualifiers for Doha went 1-2 with impressive performances, with Erica Bougard getting a season’s best of 6,663 and Kendell Williams scoring a personal best of 6,610, moving them to positions 3-5 on the 2019 world list.
● The women’s vault suffered from the wet conditions, but Sandi Morris – still recovering from leg injuries – collected her third straight national title at 4.85 m (15-11), a season’s best and now equal-third on the 2019 year list. Katie Nageotte (4.80 m/15-9) and Jenn Suhr (4.70 m (15-5) will join her in Doha.
● Valarie Allman won the women’s discus for the second consecutive year, at 64.34 m (211-1), but Kelsey Card (63.33 m/207-9) and Laulauga Tausaga (62.08 m/203-8) finished 2-3 to earn the trip to Doha, ahead of 2017 champ Whitley Ashley (61.52 m/201-10).
● Never underestimate Rio shot put champ Michelle Carter. While Chase Ealey was winning the event easily at 19.56 m (64-2 1/4), Carter improved her seasonal best from 18.28 m (59-11 3/4) to 18.69 m (61-4) and booked a trip to Doha in second. Maggie Ewen got out to 18.44 m (60-6) for third.
● The men’s long jump was confusing at best. Rio Olympic champ Jeff Henderson had trouble throughout and could manage only 8.00 m (26-3) for fifth, despite being the world leader ay 8.38 m (27-6) coming. Into the void stepped Missouri soph (and SEC champ) Ja’Mari Ward, who won with a seasonal best of 8.12 m (26-7 3/4), but is short of the 8.17 m (26-9 3/4) qualifying standard for Doha. Will Claye was second at 8.06 m (26-5 1/2) and does have the standard, as does third-placer Trumaine Jefferson (8.02 m/26-3 3/4).
The meet had a world record and three American Records and selected what could be a formidable Worlds team. As good (and as late) as these USATF Championships were, there are still two months until the IAAF World Championships commence in Doha on 28 September; some of the U.S. team is ready right now, but there are plenty of others who either need a lot of rest or a lot of work.
