Jasmine Baldwin (100m SF) Mt. SAC College- bound: I really wasn’t thinking about much besides focusing on the finish line.  My start does need work, but if I’m trailing I always seem to find myself coming back into the race.  I don’t panic. When I panic, I get tight and don’t run as well.  I’m not a quitter. I’m a finisher.   Ashley Owens (100m SF) UNLV-bound: I’m trying to break the record this week (WJR record is 10.88, set in 1977 by Marlies Oelsner-Gohr; AJR is 11.04, by Angela Williams in 1999) and I wanted to run faster in the semi finals than I did this morning.  I was not as focused this morning as I am now.  I slowed down after the first sixty meters to save energy when I should have ran all out.  I tend to shut down when I’m in front.   Amber Harper (3,000 steeplechase) BYU: I was not in the race from the start.  It is hard for me to get in the race when I don’t start out good.  I am tired because it has been a long season, but I am definitely glad to be here.

Natasha Hastings (400m) University of South Carolina-bound:
I did not feel that I was going as fast as I was which was a boost for my confidence heading into the next round.  My performance today lets me know that I am shape and ready to break the 52 barrier.  I definitely did not plan to run 52.60 today.

Ashlee Kidd (400m) Georgia Tech University:

I felt good but ran conservative today to save my energy for the next round.  My goal was to win my heat, which is what I did.

Ivory Williams (100m) Central High (Beaumont, Texas):

I got out well and then was able to cruise on in to the finish, and save energy for tomorrow.  I will try to do better tomorrow.

David Torrance (1,500m) Cal-Berkeley:

I thought the race would be faster than the way it ended up.  I wanted to stay in the front pack as long as I could.  With 300m to go, I decided to make my move.

 

Marcus Mayes (800m) University of Missouri:
The race was really physical at first, which was something I was not expecting.  I really wanted to set the pace through the 200 and 400 meters, but I allowed the physical part of the race through my rhythm off.  It was a learning and growing experience given the conditions, I think I did well.  I’m glad to be here.

Norris Frederick (HJ & LJ) University of Washington bound:
My shoes ripped during my 1st attempt, so I had a hard time to adjusting to my new shoes during the high jump.

I felt pretty good in the long jump.  I kept leaning backwards every time I landed in the pit.  My approach off the board went well going down the runway.
