DRAKE RELAYS QUOTES
Thursday, April 22, 2010
Drake Stadium
Diana Pickler, ASICS, defending U.S. champion, winner of heptathlon with meet-record 6,040 points. Second best mark in the world this year. This is the third straight year the meet record has been broken. Old record 6,020 points, Jacquelyn Johnson, Tempe, Ariz., 2009.

On her performance Thursday: "We kind of had to reconfigure my goals into today. Those didn't work as well, but I just kind of fought through it. That's part of practice in multi, fighting through your marks, and I did today. So I'll just take that away from it. And it made it fun to try to go for the record.

On her first lap in the 800 (1:06): "I was shooting for 64. I've been running a lot. That's why I wasn't planning on doing this hep this early because my workouts have been extremely tough. I was ready to run fast, I think a little faster than that. But I still fought through it, like the other events."

On the meet record: "That makes it fun, the history of Drake Relays, to be on
the board. That's exciting. I was shooting for that going into the 800, so it made it
exciting." “I'm honored to get that and kind of move forward from here. I'm happy to walk
away with that.”

Her training as this point: "I know that I'm extremely fit. I'm just a little rusty and not as sharp technically, so that's what I'm going to go back and really get fine tuned going into my major meets at the end of the year. You've got to be confident and let your mind go and let it happen and I wasn't just trusting it and letting it happen like it should. That's what I've got to work toward."

Long term goals: "I have a lot to accomplish in my career. I switched coaches last year in May, so just moving forward with him. The training is totally different than what I did the past five years. Just every year building on to the next one and be very competitive internationally."

On deciding to enter the Drake Relays heptathlon: "When I worked out my schedule for the year, I was going to do individual events (at Drake) because I have the Gotzis meet in Austria at the end of May, so that was going to be my first one for the year. So we looked at my schedule, I have a lot of meets, well, we'll do the hep here, kind of see how it goes. I've been training on very high weeks of volume. So I was going in with a little optimism and see what comes out
of it.

Fountain Leads Day 1, USA Heptathlon

2009-06-27T20:26:00.003-05:00

Hyleas Fountain – Leader Women’s Heptathlon (Day 1)

On the first day of competition:
“My awesome shot put PR was great. I started slow but I knew what I wanted to do.”

On her season thus far:
“I haven’t really raced that much this year. With a few more it would have been better today but there have not been many meets for me to compete in this year without going to Europe.”

On the field:
“The competition is great. There are a lot of collegiate girls out there and some pros that I haven’t competed against yet before. I think everyone is doing really well though.”

On competing at Hayward Field again:
It was a huge confidence booster. Last night I had the best night of sleep I ever had the night before a meet.”

Day two belonged to Fountain - Heptathlon

"The overnight leader in the Heptathlon, Kelly Sotherton, could not hold this position. After a first foul jump in the Long Jump she continued with a 6.16m leap with her second followed by a third attempt of 6.21m. This is far from her possibilities in this event and taking into consideration that her weakest event, the Javelin Throw, still had to come her possibilities to win this year’s Decastar Heptathlon were in danger. Additionally, the distances from Hyleas Fountain (6.52) and Natalya Dobrynska (6.35) were below their abilities, the damage for Sotherton was limited.
After 5 events: 1. Fountain 4887, 2. Sotherton 4857, 3. Dobrynska 4792

The sixth event was, as expected, a strong one for Tatyana Chernova, with a Javelin Throw of 50.23m, which moved her to the fourth. position. As Dobrynska’s throw was seven meters further that Sotherton’s she passed her in the intermediate standings. With only one event to go the gap to be covered by the British athlete was 121 points, or 8.5 seconds in the 800m versus Fountain, and 5 seconds versus Dobrynska.
After 6 events: 1. Fountain 5585, 2.Dobrynska 5535, 3. Sotherton 5464

Immediately after the start of the 800m Karolina Tyminska and Chernova took the lead, followed by Sotherton. This trio set the pace and at the end it was Tyminska who crossed the line before Sotherton in 2:09.28. Fountain was pushed to a personal best time of 2:15.32 to maintain her position to take the overall win. Dobrynska came in with a personal best as well in this last event, but it was not enough to keep Sotherton from the second position.

“I was disappointed after the long jump, but Hyleas was the stronger athlete during this weekend and she deserved to win here,” Sotherton said. “My season is not finished yet. I was member of the 4x400m Relay team in Beijing and next week I will run a 400m in Shanghai”.
Final result: 1. Fountain 6473, 2. Sotherton 6439, 3.Dobrynska 6429

11 heptathletes passed the 6000 points mark, for the first time in Talence since 1988. Marie Collonvillé of France broke the 6000 point barrier for the 30th. time in her career."

News from Talence: iaaf.org

"The women’s event was close to a replay of the Olympic heptathlon as seven of the top eight athletes were at the start this weekend in Talence.

The 100m Hurdles became a show of the USA hurdling specialists, Hyleas Fountain and Gigi Johnson. They both broke the 13 seconds mark, with Fountain first in 12.90, followed by Gigi Johnson in 12.98, who missed an Olympic appearance after she finished fourth at the US trials in Eugene. Fountain’s winning time was an improvement of the 20-yearold stadium record set by Liliana Nastase.

In the High Jump Fountain improved upon her result from Beijing by four centimetres with a 1.85m leap. She was followed by Sotherton, Anna Boganova, Anne Melnychenko and Marie Collonvillé, who all scaled 1.82. The Olympic bronze medallist, Tatyana Chernova, who has a PB of 1.87 in this event, did only cleared 1.70 and lost a lot of points to her opponents. She dropped in the intermediate standings to 12th position.

After 2 events: 1. Fountain 2181, 2. Sotherton 2084, 3. Bogdanova 2046

Olympic champion Nataliya Dobrynska showed her strength again in the Shot Put. This time her best effort was 16.35, almost two metres ahead of Sotherton, who had her best ever result in this event in a Heptathlon. Fountain had a very poor result of 12.10, losing more than 100 points compared with her result in Beijing. Dobrynska improved from sixth place after two events to first place after Shot Put.

After 3 events: 1. Dobrynska 2933, 2. Sotherton 2909, 3. Fountain 2849

In the 200m the winning time in the third heat was supported by a wind of 3.5 m/s. Sotherton and Karolina Tyminska crossed the finish line in this heat in the same time of 23.46, followed by Fountain in 23.55. From the Olympic participants only Sotherton could improve her first day result from Beijing. Taking into consideration her weak Long Jump result in Beijing she is still able to improve her best Heptathlon record from 2005.

After 4 events: 1. Sotherton 3942, 2. Fountain 3873, 3. Dobrynska 3833"

Dobrynska wins Olympic Heptathlon

2008-08-16T11:04:00.000-05:00

BEIJING (AP) -- Nataliia DOBRYNSKA has won the gold medal in the heptathlon at the Beijing Olympics, leading a gold-silver finish for Ukraine. (Full results.)

Dobrynska had a 145-point lead over Hyleas Fountain and was 151 clear of fellow Ukrainian Liudmyla BLONSKA going into the last discipline, the 800, having extended her cushion over both with a superior mark in the javelin.

The 2004 world indoor champion finished last in the final graded 800 race, but earned enough points to hold off Blonska, who served a two-year doping ban before coming back to take silver at last year's world championships

Dobrynska finished with 6,733 points, 33 clear of Blonska. Fountain took bronze with 6,619 points.

Oly Heptathlon Javelin: Day #2

2008-08-16T09:22:00.000-05:00

From Runner's World: After building a lead over the first few events, Hyleas Fountain is just barely hanging onto 2nd place now. Her situation looked dire most of the way through the javelin throw until she improved her best by over 10 meters on her third and final throw. Ukraine's Dobrynska is looking strong headed into the 7th and final event, the 800m, but there will be a good race for the other two medals.

Olympic Heptathlon: Day #2 Long Jump

2008-08-16T05:29:00.000-05:00

From Runner'sWorld: Overnight leader Hyleas Fountain, who leapt a huge 6.88 in the trials struggled here, and after two no jumps, had to play safe with the final jump. She took off before the board and a modest 6.38 saw her lose ground to overnight runner-up Natalya Dobrynska, who did a big PR of 6.63 to take 80 points off the American, where the form book suggested the reverse. World silver medallist Lyudmyla Blonska, was in the same boat as the American with no jumps but a 6.48 moved her into third. Olympic silver medallist Austra Skujyte though didn’t play it safe and got three no jumps.

Olympic bronze medallist Kelly Sotherton, who jumped 6.79 in the pre Olympic meeting London, could only manage 6.33 here and dropped from third to fifth.

Standings after 5 of 7 events:
1 Dobrynska 5045
2 Fountain 5029
3 Blonska 4913

Quotes from Ryann Krais, 2008 USATF Jr. Heptathlon winner: Results

"There were some low points over the two days, especially yesterday. That was not exactly what I would call my A game. With the competition I really had to pick it up today. I thank God for them that they were there and pushing me so hard.

I'm hoping to pull my act together for the World Juniors and have a result like I did two weeks ago with my 5522 at the Great Southwest meet. My goal was to be at 5534, so hopefully I can get to that range again.

I'm going to run the 400 hurdles at the Olympic Trials. I know I don't have a chance of making the team, but I'm looking forward to the experience. I hope I can be in that situation again in a few years really going for making the team then."

Wilhelm Wins Sea Ray Relays Heptathlon

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Former University of Cincinnati standout Ashley Wilhelm finished what she started on Wednesday, scoring 5,697 points to claim victory Thursday at the Sea Ray Relays heptathlon at the University of Tennessee’s Tom Black Track at LaPorte Stadium. Wilhelm’s point total was the second best in meet history, falling short of only the 6,018-point gem of Nike’s DeDee Nathan back in 1996.

Wilhelm, who entered the day with 3,343 points and a 329-point lead over West Virginia’s Chelsea Carrier and a 332-point advantage over Kentucky’s Danielle Sampley, used a victory in the javelin to retain her lead and go on to first-place honors. Indiana State’s Erica Moore used a strong second day to move into runner-up honors with an NCAA provisional score of 5,368 points.

Sampley, a product of nearby William Blount High School, took third with a provisional mark of 5,196, while UK teammate Ashley Trimble (5,086) also made the NCAA’s safety cut.

Wilhelm began the afternoon by taking second in the long jump behind Sampley (20-5/w: 2.9) and generating 915 points, soaring 20 feet, 4 1/2 inches with a 5.5 meters-per-second gust at her back. She bounced back to win the javelin with a 628-point heave of 134-7, and closed out the competition by finishing third in the 800m at two minutes, 20.93 seconds to claim her final 811 points.

Johnson at the top of the IAAF List for Early April

2008-04-04T18:12:00.000-05:00

TUCSON, Ariz. - Jacquelyn Johnson broke a pair of school records and automatically qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Championships later this year as the senior member of the Arizona State University track and field team won the heptathlon at the Jim Click Combined Events meet in Tucson, Ariz., Friday. Johnson won all seven individual events in the competition to secure the victory in her first outdoor multi of the season.

Johnson edged former record-holder Gea Johnson by eight points as the former Johnson scored 6,135 points in 1990 to establish the ASU mark and, at the time, the Pac-10 record. Johnson, who scored 3,615 points on the first day of competition, opened the day with 874 points in the long jump as she collected a mark of 6.08m. Johnson then bettered her own school record set last week in the javelin with her toss of 46.45m to earn another 791 points. The final event, the 800m run, saw Johnson cross the line in 2:17.11 to earn 863 points. Article from ASU Sports Info: April 4, 2008

A new look and new format for the USATF Heptathlon site. After ten plus years publishing the USATF Hept web site, I've opted to move to a newer and much more current format...blogging. The web site will still be maintained for the remainder of this year.
For those of you who like playing internet games, check out the "Denise Lewis Heptathlon Game" from the BBC. It's been up on the BBC Sport web site for several years...hopefully it stays a little longer.
