Since Saturday evening my emotions have ranged from despair to determination to go to Poland and represent my country as best I can. After much thought and consideration, however, I have decided to withdraw my protest as I do not want to make a national team under these circumstances. I wish all members of USA team going to Poland my best and look forward to continuing to train hard and competing to represent the USA in future World Championship and Olympic Games."

Mary Cain

Associated Press/Don Ryan

Over the weekend, 17 year-old Mary Cain competed in the IAAF Diamond League Prefontaine Classic in Eugene, Oregon. Cain ran against some of the best elite athletes in the 800m.

Cain finished the 800m in 1:59.51. That time set a new American high school and junior record.  She is now the first American junior athlete to run under two minutes in the event.

Francine Niyonsaba of Burundi won the women's 800m race in 1:56.72. That time set a meet record and is a world leading. American Brenda Martinez was second with a personal best of 1:58.18. Alysia Montano was fourth in 1:59.51. Cain finished behind Montano in fifth.

After Cain found out she broke the high school and junior record from her coach Alberto Salazar, Montano did something really neat. Montano asked Cain if she would like to have her red chrysanthemum that she wore in her hair. Cain said yes and Montano put the flower in Cain's hair. I thought that was so classy of Montano. That moment made me smile.

Here is the video:
