Nate Brannen

Nate Brannen runs 3:38.97 in today’s semi final of the 1500m to secure 20th spot in the metric mile rankings. His first round run of 3:38.35 moved him into the top 24 semi finals. His seasonal best of 3:36.53 ranked him 33rd amongst the competitors.  His +/- score is then +13.  Canada’s accumulative +/- score moves into further positive territory (+8+13)= +21.

This system allows an evaluation of every member of the Canadian team and also give an accumulative score for the team as a group.  Does our team do better or worse than their rankings.

Tomorrow the 200m men and 100m hurdles women will see 6 Canadians in action.

COMMENT

All-Athletics.com, the Zurich base internet site is different  than Track and Field News that predicts Canada will be without medals.

With only milliseconds separating the finalist in the 100m hurdles were Canada has Perdita and Priscilla ranked in the top five, any loss of concentration will be fatal. The hurdles is an event where “lady luck” decides the day. Let’s hope having 3 entries in the event with Angela Whyte competing for Canada as well improves our “luck” factor.

Gary Reed has been a great success in the past 2 years in that he had great strategic presence in navigating the  treacherous preliminary rounds and semi finals.  Compared to the Golden League and Grand Prix events where pacemakers are the rule, the world championships qualification is a very dangerous “shoot out”.  In Beijing the majority of the favourites “bit the dust” in the qualification system. When the first lap tempo is left to chance and 8 runners are bunched in a pack with 100m to go, anything can happen based on how the herd picks a line to sprint to the finish line. Remember that in most instances only 2 qualify automatically and the rest selected by time. If the tempo was slow being 3rd  can be fatal.  Getting to the final is a bigger mountain than the final itself. Gary needs the “luck factor” as well.

Dylan Armstrong peaked precisely in Beijing where his 21.04 was in medal position until the last round.  If he is able to produce his personal best in Berlin once again and his opponents fail to match their seasonal best, Dylan is in striking position.  Does he need “puck luck”?  Yes he does!

Our 4×100m relay team ran 38.63 yesterday in a trial meet.  This predicts a good chance to make the top 8 but a medal would require some of the favourites to fail to execute their exchanges.  It is almost a given that this will happen to some team. Le us hope that it is not Canada!

Angela Whyte runs 12.93

Angela Whyte and Kelsie Hendry have made the A standard to the World Championships this past week just under the wire for selection to Berlin next month.  Angela ran 12.93 in the 100m hurdles in Coxhaven on June 21 while Kelsie vaulted 4.45m in Ried, Austria on 17 of July.
