Szabo extended her two-year
win streak with the win, which
was her second ever race on
American soil.

I knew I was going to lead,” Fa

ners will most likely meet again
at the Olympics in the same
event.
The same wind that got in the
way of Favor Hamilton and Sz
abo also prevented Olympian
Marion Jones from a new Pre
Classic record in the 100 meters.
The wind was measured at 2.6
meters per second, just over the
allowable mark for records at 2.
Jones, sporting a full-length Nike
Swift Suit, won the 100 in 10.93
— .03 seconds faster than the
previous record held by Gwen
Torrence. She also won her sec
ond long jump title with a leap
of 22 feet, 10 and 1/2 inches.
Still, Jones was somewhat dis
appointed with her performanc
es.
“There weren’t too many
things I liked about the 100,”
Jones said. “The start was horri
ble and the transition was not
very good... but all that has to get
better.”
Jones’ goals for this year’s
Olympics include gold medals
in the 100, 200, long jump and
the 4x100 and 4x400 relays. “My
expectations are to hopefully
win every event that I’m in,”
Jones said. “I’m 24 years old. I
don’t feel any stress on my body
at all. So why not go for it?”
Gail Devers’ fourth Olympic
bid was put in doubt earlier this
season by multiple leg injuries.
Devers put those doubts to rest
with a meet and field record win
in the 100-meter hurdles. She
surpassed her own record by .2
seconds with a time of 12.64.
Earlier this spring, Devers
pulled her left hamstring. To add
to the troubles, her right
Achilles tendon then became in
jured. Devers was forced to wear
a boot cast for a month, which
she shed only 12 days before the
Classic.
“Coming into the race, I was
n’t sure what I could do,” Devers
said. “I’m pleased that I don’t
feel any owies.”
The biggest test, she noted, is
coming up in a few weeks at the
Olympic Trials in Sacramento
on July 14-23.
“This is the first race in a long
season,” Devers said. “I just
wanted to prepare myself physi
cally and mentally for the
Olympic Trials.”
Second place Anjanette Kirk
land’s time of 12.68 was the
third fastest in the world this
year.
Although no records were set,
fans were treated to an exciting
800 meters race. Local favorite
Maria Mutola’s streak of nine
straight Prefontaine titles in the
half mile was in danger for about
300 meters, but the Mozambique
native out-kicked Olympian

meters to keep the streak intact.
Mutola’s time of 1:57.65 was .08
seconds shy of her own meet
and field record.
“I’m happy the way I ran to
day,” Mutola said. “Sydney is far
away, but this is a good start.”
Jacobs, who is primarily a spe
cialist in the 1,500 meters and
up, decided to come down to the
800 for some speedwork.
“If I had run a two-flat and
won I would not have been as
happy as I am running a PR and
not winning,” said Jacobs, who
ran a 1:58.9.
The only field event for the
women other than the long jump
was the discus. Australia’s Lisa
Marie Vizaniari bettered her
own meet and field record of
212-11 by two feet. Oregon track
and field member Mary Etter
also participated, finishing
eighth with a throw of 162-2.
The U.S. Olympic Trials will
be the next competition for most
of the athletes. The Olympic
Games will begin in September
in Sydney, Australia.
