Former Vol Dawane Wallace (1996-99) took eighth in the 110M hurdles Wednesday at the Goodwill Games in Brisbane, Australia. Wallace clocked a 13.68 after getting out of the blocks a little slowly. In addition to the Goodwill Games, Wallace has competed in other high quality meets during the 2001 outdoor season, his most successful since joining the professional ranks, such as the World Championships and USA Championships, as well as meets on the European circuit.
The other Americans fared better, notching three of the top four finishes. American Allen Johnson clocked a 13.16 to take gold. American Larry Wade earned a bronze medal by breaking the tape in 13.46. Terrence Trammell followed in fourth with a 13.49 effort for the red, white and blue. American Mark Crear took sixth in 13.63. Cuba's Anier Garcia broke up the U.S. medal sweep with his 13.20 silver performance.
Two more former Vols are slated to compete as the track portion of the Goodwill Games comes to a close. Tom Pappas will attempt to complete his first decathlon since shoulder surgery as he reports to the line on Thursday and Friday. Additionally, Tim Mack will take off in the pole vault on Friday.
