The women’s 800-meter semifinals saw some tough competition. As expected, Alice Schmidt got out fast and stayed in front during the first heat. The real action occurred behind Schmidt as Becky Horn tripped near the 300-meter mark and caused a four-person pile-up. The crowd cheered as they immediately got right back up.

Schmidt won the first heat in 2:03.27, followed by Maggie Vessey (2:03.81) and Nikeya Green (2.03.90). The entire field of athletes in the first heat will advance due to the crash.

The second heat included high school sophomore Laura Roesler. She shows great potential with her 2:06.82 time. Those who qualified in the second heat were Morgan Uceny (2:02.10), Hazel Clark (2:02.14), Katie Waits (2:02.38), and Geena Gall (2:03.3).Uceny ran an outstanding race considering she was recently injured.
