DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Hometown favorite Lolo Jones cruised to the 100-meter hurdles title at the USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships.
Jones, who grew up in Des Moines, won her second outdoor national title in 12.69 seconds on a scorching Saturday afternoon in Iowa.
Jeremy Wariner, the favorite in the 400, collapsed halfway through the finals with a hip flexor injury. He was helped off the track as Greg Nixon won in 44.61.
Sanya Richards-Ross, who has been battling a quadriceps injury since April, was a late scratch in the 400. Debbie Dunn took advantage, winning in a world-leading 49.64.
Chaunte Lowe broke her own American record in the high jump, leaping 6 feet, 8-34 inches. Lowe set the U.S. mark at 6-814 last month in Cottbus, Germany.
