Without the benefit of a rabbit, the women had to set their own pace in the 1500m on this wet and gloomy day in Indi9anapolis.
Tiffany McWilliams took the lead after about 45 seconds, followwed by Treniere Clement who has done very well thus far in 2007 in both tthe 800 and 1500m.
McWilliams continued to maintain her lead, doing all the work in this effort, but Sara Hall joined the lead pack and Treniere Clement, Erin Donahue and Shayne Culpepper all remained close; waiting to see who would make the expected surge.
On the final lap, McWilliams immediately showed signs of fatigue and passed back. Clement made her move after Wurth and most expected Clement to catch her with the great kick from her 800 racing experience. Then on the final straightaway Clement really turned it on; taking and maintaining the lead.
With this victory, Clement has successfully won the a national title on each of the past three years. Clement, Wurth and Donohue all earned a sport for the world champs in Osaka. Culpepper finished a disappointing 11th and Hall finished 5th.
