INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Allyson Felix has won her third Jesse Owens Award, and David Oliver was honored by USA Track and Field for the first time.
Felix won the U.S. national title at 100 meters this year, and won IAAF Diamond League titles in the 200 and 400.
She also won the Jesse Owens Award for top American track athlete in 2005 and 2007.
Oliver ran the five fastest times in the world this year in the 110-meter hurdles, and 12 of the top 15 times. That included the 12.89 seconds he ran at Paris on July 16, which breaks the U.S. record and is the fourth-fastest time in history.
The winners were announced Tuesday. The awards will be presented at the Hall of Fame induction ceremony on Dec. 4 at Virginia Beach, Va.
