Women's 3,000m steeplechase
by Emerald Sports Desk |
American Record: Lisa Galaviz, 9:28.75
2007 U.S. Champion: Jenny Barringer, 9:34.64
2004 Olympic Trials Champion: Ann Gaffigan, 9:39.35
Top 5 Seeds
1.) Lisa Galaviz, 9:28.75
2.) Jennifer Barringer, 9:29.20
3.) Anna Willard, 9:34.72
4.) Lindsey Anderson, 9:39.95
5.) Delilah DiCrescenzo, 9:41.68
Colorado junior Jennifer Barringer has established herself as the favorite to win this event after her sizzling solo performance to win the NCAA Championships two weeks ago. Her time of 9:29.20 was a collegiate record and the second-best performance ever by an American.
American record holder Lisa Galaviz, formerly of Arizona State, set her record last year in Belgium, but hasn't run faster than 9:43 this year. Fourth at the U.S. Championships last year, Galaviz is still sure to be right in the mix with Barringer.
The second- and third-fastest times of 2008 belongs to Anna Willard, the 2007 U.S. runner-up, and Lindsey Anderson, the third-place finisher.
Delilah DiCrescenzo, the inspiration for the Plain White T's hit "Hey There, Delilah," has turned herself into a serious competitor for a spot on the Olympic team.
