USA Indoor T&F Champs: Teter Returns to Form with 800m Win

Posted February 24th, 2008 at 6:28 PM by Jared Markowitz

Section: News & Results, Track & Field, Special Features, Live Race Coverage

The Women’s 800m marked a triumphant return to the top for U.S. record holder Nicole Teter. Teter ran 1:58.71 to set the U.S. record back in 2002 and was a major factor on the world 1500m scene before a slew of injuries slowed her in recent years. However she did break 2:00 last year and ran a 2:03.80 a few weeks ago. Her race here was her first national championship since 2003.

Tonight’s race was led early by Nicole Cook, who took the field through 200m in a brisk 29.6. She was followed closely by Teter, Miesha Marzell, and Tiffany McWilliams on the outside. The order was unchanged through 400m which was reached in 1:01.17.
