2000

Four-time Canadian 1,500-metre champion Kevin Sullivan made his Jerome meet debut at Swangard Stadium and he didn’t disappoint the partisan crowd, winning the men’s 1,500 metres over Mexican rival David Galvan. American Sarah Culpepper outkicked Canada’s Leah Pells to win the women’s 1,500 metres in 4:07.99 but the Canadian’s time of 4:08.48 was under the required Olympic standard for the upcoming Games in Sydney. American Jeff Layne took the men’s 100 metres followed by Canadian team veteran Glenroy Gilbert, a member of Canada’s 4×100 relay team that took gold in the 1996 Olympics. Lance Deal threw 79.41 metres to win the men’s hammer throw, rewriting the Jerome meet record he set in 1994 with a toss of 74.68 metres.
