Anna Willard steeple 2nd USA Outdoor Championships

love tap "for the viewers" please spare us!

Was that Maggie Vessie who walked by without speaking?

With that schedule - it is possible. She may enter both, max out in the steeple and then decide on whether to scratch from the 1500 heat at the last minute based on how she feels after the steeple final.

I bet she passes on the steeple and runs the 1500

She wont double because she's smarter than that. She's gotta decide.

Have Anna and her coach checked the schedule of events for Worlds in Berlin?
According to http://www.iaaf.org/wch09/results/eventcode=3658/

15/08 10:50 W 3000 Metres Steeplechase Heats
17/08 20:30 W 3000 Metres Steeplechase Final
18/08 12:05 W 1500 Metres Heats
21/08 20:00 W 1500 Metres Semi-Final
23/08 17:00 W 1500 Metres Final

Oh come on, "just wanted to get on team" line doesn't work. She didn't want to defend her title in steeple?

Please Please Please just run One event at Worlds. You have a chance at winning one rather then just doing well in both.

hahahah Love Tap....

Ha ha, Anna is my favorite Flotrack interviewee. Congratulations and look forward to watching you (double?) in Berlin.
