It was a curious World Championships for the US, but it was also a robust World Championships. One noted observer noted that, with a bit of luck, and medals in the men’s shot put, and men’s 400m hurdles, we would have been at 27. Taking that a step farther, the men’s 4 x 100m would have put us over 30 medals.

The truth is, 25 medals is a tremendous accomplishment in one of the few world sports that actually exist. Face it, when you compete against the best in 200 plus countries, and win a medal, you are one of the world’s best. The USA track team is, by all accounts, one of the most winning teams, if not the most winning team in US history. Consider the medals won by US track teams in Olympics and World Champs and one will get my drift.

The 2011 team had a nice collection of athletes new, athletes veterans and many at the top of their game. Our selection process, top three in Trials or best wishes, is both brutal and honest. It also makes the US champs, during Trials years, among the best days of track & field anywhere in the world.

We took medals, two in fact, in the triple jump for men and one in the women’s shot put medal was a great step forward. Jesse Williams in the high jump also showcased that event. Christian Taylor and Will Claye were first US triple jumper to go 1 & 3 in the triple jump World Champs since 1991 with Kenny Harrison and Mike Conley. Jillian Carmelita Williams took first global shot put medal for a US women since the 1960 Olympics, when Earlene Browne took the bronze in Rome!
