2008 adidas Track Classic at the Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif 

Rowbury runs stunning time in women's 1,500 meters    

  2005 Atlantic Coast Conference champion, 2006 NACAC champion and USA Indoor champion Shannon Rowbury won the women's 1,500 meters in 4:01.61, which is the fastest time in the world this year by nearly four and a half seconds, and ranks her as the #5 U.S. performer of all-time. Rowbury returns to competition this season after recovering from a stress fracture in her hip last year that kept her competing from April until July.  2007 USA Outdoor runner-up Christin Wurth-Thomas finished second to Rowbury in 4:04.94 and Lisa Corrigan of Australia was third in 4:06.97.
