Steeplechase

The race I am most looking forward to seeing today is the Women's 3000 meter steeplechase. Local racer Jenny Barringer will be the top seed in this event and will be looking to secure her spot on the Olympic team this year. She ran the 3000 meter qualifying heat in 9:48:50 - that is about a 5:15 mile while jumping over high hurdles and water pits.

looks like fun - yes?




The other races that are peaking my interest are the 1500 meter semifinals.

Tune in and catch Olympic fever!
