EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Allyson Felix won the 400 meters at the U.S. championships Saturday, setting up the possibility she might compete in two events at worlds this summer.
Felix already has a spot in the 200 as the defending world champion. She has yet to decide whether she will attempt the difficult 200-400 double at worlds in Daegu, South Korea, in August.
She only got stronger as the race went along Saturday and held off Francena McCorory at the finish. Debbie Dunn was third.
Up-and-comer Tony McQuay of the University of Florida won the men’s 400 by blowing past former Olympic and world champion Jeremy Wariner on the home stretch. Wariner faded but held off Greg Nixon for second.
