For those who watched Morgan Uceny of Cornell effortlessly dominate the 800-meter run at Heps a few years back, we probably all thought that she had a lot more left in the tank.
She proved us right on Sunday. Running in the Luzern Spitzenleichtathletik in Nottwil, Switzerland, Uceny beat a strong field with a personal best 1:58.67. Right behind her was Beijing Olympic finalist Kenia Sinclair of Jamaica (1:58.78) and European Championships finalist Jemma Simpson (1:59.34).
Both Uceny and former Brown star Anna Pierce have run under 1:59 this summer and are strong contenders to represent the United States at the London Olympics in 2012.
