IN HER FIRST FORAY over the steeple barriers this spring, BYU senior Lexy Halladay-Lowry made a splash, cutting more than 4 seconds off her best with a 9:18.05, a time that moved her to No. 5 in collegiate history.

SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, CALIFORNIA, March 29 — Telahun Haile did not win the TEN, but he probably ran the best race of the day at the annual event aimed at delivering World Championship qualifying times.
