EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Allyson Felix won the women’s 200 meters at the U.S. track trials in 21.69 seconds, a meet record and personal best.

Felix will be joined on the Olympic team for London by runner-up Carmelita Jeter, who finished in 22.11, and Santa Richards-Ross, third in 22.22.

Still unresolved is the third-place tie last weekend in the women’s 100 between Felix and Jeneba Tarmoh.

Bobby Kersee, coach of both women, said he wanted to wait until after the 200 to decide how to break the tie, either by a runoff, coin flip, or if one athlete concedes. A decision was expected either later Saturday night or Sunday morning, the final day of the trials at Hayward Field.

Tarmoh finished fifth in the 200.
