Bridget Franek Places 7th in Heat of SC at World Championships

Bridget Franek ended her first year as a professional running for Nike with a 7th place finish in the first heat of the 3000 M Steeplechase at the World Championships in Daegu, South Korea.  Bridget finished with a 9:43.09.  She just missed making the mark to move on to the second round.  Knowing Bridget the little bit that I do, makes me sure she'll use this to her advantage for next year's campaign!

    My feet hurt just looking at them! Pretty cool that "The Hawk" can still wear such things. Looking forward to a scare of 5:00 for this year's mile! Not to put pressure on him or anything.
