Women's 3000M Steeplechase Videos: Bridget Franek's First 2012 Effort No. 1 in the World

Bridget Franek's 2012 Steeplechase Season got underway in Oregon yesterday at the Oregon Twilight Meet with a rather good 9:39.77 at Hayward Field, which will be the scene of the Olympic Trials.



And here's a BYU athlete who has a sense of humor way beyond what one would expect.  Not one, but 2 cameras caught her epic wipe-out AND her laugh at her own expense as she exits the pit.

    Didn't Ricky Garcia wipe out in the water jump at Penn back when the steeple was held on Saturday? I think it was Ricky, and he handled it well.

  2. Someone will know that answer. Nowadays, there would be film of the event for us to view, over and over again!

  3. Fond memories of the steeple on Saturday at Penn, which had, by far, the filthiest water of any venue in the country.

  4. A rather unique way of evaluating Steeplechases, but I like it. This pit in Utah probably had Coor's water!

  5. Although Coor's is made in New Jersey now...
