The conditions were a little less than ideal this past weekend at Hayward Field in Eugene, OR, but that didn't stop Team Nutrilite athletes Jenn Stuczynski and Sanya Richards from winning their respective events and making the U.S. National Team.

The U.S. National Outdoor Track & Field team will compete at the World Championships in Berlin from August 15 through August 23.

With the top time in the women's 400M, Sanya Richards headlines her team.  Jenn bested a tough field and also headlines her team in the women's pole vault.

Here are some quotes from our winners this past weekend (credit to USATF.org):

Sanya Richards – Winner Women’s 400M
 
On her performance:
“I don’t think this was one of my best races, just by looking at the time, but the wind has been tough at Hayward all week. I just wanted to run smart and make sure I brought it home to win. Now I’m ready to move on and focus on Berlin.”
 
On her goals this season:
“I want to run fast. I haven’t run a 48 in two or three seasons, but my number one goal is still to win in Berlin.”
 
On what her experience has taught her:
“I think I learned a lot from last season. I think sometimes I put a lot of pressure on myself at the big meets, and I just need to run relaxed.”

Jennifer Stuczynski – Winner Women’s Pole Vault
 
On winning the pole vault:
“It was kind of a gutsy event. If it was Thursday, Friday or Saturday I would have pulled out. I have so many nagging injuries going on. Today I was able to compete. I am glad it worked out. Now it’s time to move on and get healthy.”
 
On the windy conditions:
“It was just me being able to come down the runway. The wind had no play in it at all. Everything was clicking.”
