One week after finishing 5th at the Adidas Dream Mile (1,500) in Boston, Bolles sophomore Caitlin Collier was back in action, this time with a spot on Team USA waiting in the wings. Collier headed west to Clovis, California for the USA Junior Championships and kicked off the competition with a blazing US#3 time of 2:04.89 in the 800m. Her time was nearly a two second personal best from her 800m state championship run of 2:06.74 and the FASTEST ALL-TIME in Florida history. Here is a list of the all-time best 800m times according to our flrunners.com database.
The 2016 state champion in the 800, 1,600, and 3,200m for the Bulldogs, was third in her heat, and third overall behind only Aaliyah Miller of Texas and Jazmine Fray of Texas A&M who was the SEC runner-up in that event. Both girls ran 2:04.07.
The top two finishers in Saturday's 800m final will represent Team USA at the IAAF World U20 Championships July 19-24 in Bydgoszcz, Poland.
