BOSTON — Four-time U.S. outdoor champion Khadevis Robinson held off a lunging Nicholas Symmonds by a mere hundreth of a second to win the men’s 800 meters in 1:46.95 at the AT&T USA Indoor Track & Field Championships on Sunday.

The contest highlighted the fast and furious second day of the competition as the sprints and men’s shotput took center stage.

“My legs were shot on that last lap,” said Robinson, who led from the opening gun. “I’m happy with the win and the fast time, but sometimes it hurts more to run from the lead.”

Defending women’s 60-meter hurdles champ Lolo Jones won easily, besting Candice Davis by two-hundreths of a second in 7.88, the same margin of victory that Michael Rodgers had over Leroy Dixon in the 60-meter dash in winning in 6.54 seconds.

Angela Williams blew away a talented field in the women’s 60 in 7.11 seconds.

The men’s shot put attracted a small but select field, as Christian Cantwell defended his indoor title by defeating Reese Hoffa and Adam Nelson, the winner of the men’s Visa Championship points race.

Cantwell’s first attempt of 70 feet, 7 inches was good enough to win, but he was disappointed by his effort.

“I was coming in here thinking I could rip off the world record, but I just couldn’t get a grip on the throw,” he said.

American record holder Nicole Teeter took control in the last lap of the women’s 800, winning in 2:02.65.

“I’m finally feeling 100 percent again, so this is the start of me enjoying racing again and having fun,” she said.

David Neville also authored the fastest time by an American this year in the men’s 400, his 46.34 besting Greg Nixon’s 46.72 in the two-heat final.

Anwar Moore blazed to victory in the men’s 60-meter hurdles in 7.47 seconds, edging Nike teammate Allen Johnson, who’ll be trying to qualify for his fourth Olympics in June. It also marked the fastest time by an American this year.

Rob Myers led most of the way in winning the men’s 1500 in 3:40.89.

“The game plan was to get out in front and stay out of trouble,” he said. “I run best that way.”

Kibwe Johnson and Amber Campbell won the men’s and women’s weight throw with heaves of 82 feet, 5 inches and 76 feet, 2 3/4 inches, respectively.

Jennifer Stuczynski easily captured the women’s pole vault with a vault of 15 feet, 5 inches.

Skakeema Welsch’s first attempt at the triple jump did the trick as she edged Shani Marks with a jump of 45 feet, 6 1/4 inches.

Besides national indoor titles, roster spots for Team USA roster spots for the 2008 IAAF World Indoor Track & Field Championships on March 7-9 in Valencia, Spain, also are at stake this weekend.

Many of the United States’ top track and field athletes are not competing because it’s an Olympic year.
