MILAN, Italy--Former University of Washington middle distance runner Ingvill Måkestad (left/photo courtesy runingvill.wordpress.com) of Norway finished fourth in the 800 meters at the Notturna di Milano meeting Thursday night.
Reigning world champion Caster Semenya of South Africa set a meet record, leading after the pacemaker dropped out, powering to a clocking of 1:58.16 on a cool night in the Italian city.
Måkestad, who set her personal best of 1:59.83 last week in Zagreb, Croatia, crossed the line in 2:00.68, behind France's Hind Dehiba (1:58.67) and Fanjanteino Felix (2:00.18).

A tentative roster has been announced for the Super Meeting on September 19th in Kawasaki, Japan, which includes former University of Washington pole vaulter Brad Walker, who has vaulted sparingly this season.

Most of the state's Division II schools, including Seattle Pacific and Western Washington, are heading to Yakima for the Apple Ridge Run Invitational, hosted by Central Washington University on Saturday.
