USATF Championships - More ASICS Athletes in Action

2008 Olympian and 2009 World Championship team member Sharon Day (San Luis Obispo, CA), 3rd after day 1 in the Heptathlon, used a big throw in the Javelin and a solid 800m to move up 1 spot and finish in 2nd place with a point total of 6006 points.  This is the second straight year that Day has finished 2nd in this event.
Newly signed Team member Liz Patterson (Tucson, AZ) made a nice debut wearing the ASICS kit  by placing 2nd in the Women's High Jump.  Fresh from her 2nd place finish at the NCAA Championships 2 weeks ago, Patterson cleared 6' 3 1/4", a new personal best.
In the Women's 1500m, Sara Hall (Mammoth Lakes, CA) finished in 9th place and Lauren Hagans (Nashville, TN) in 12th place running 4:17.87 and 4:25.03 respectively.  Latosha Wallace (San Marcos, TX) finished 5th in her semi-final heat in the 400m and did not advance to tomorrow's final.
The last day of the competition will see Tora Harris in the High Jump, Norris Frederick in the Long Jump, Russ Winger in the Shot Put, April Steiner-Bennett in the Pole Vault, and Ryan Brown in the final of the 800m.
