We are extremely proud of racewalker Lauren Harris, who qualified for the World Junior Championships at the 10,000-meter racewalk as a result of her second-place finish this morning at USATF Juniors here in Indiana. Like the rest of the field, which wilted to five finishers, extreme humidity and heat were the dominant factors. All of the racewalkers had to pause for water on the backstretch numerous times. We'll post the splits later, but you'll see a steady slowing of pace -- it happened to the entire field! Lauren managed it well and as a result she will be part of Team USA on the international stage again. World Juniors is in early July in Finland. Very neat! Lauren's official second-place time today was 54:32.03. Nicely done! More later ...
