Overcoming a slow start, world champion Allyson Felix showed her gold-medal form in the Visa women’s 200 meters. Running in lane 4, Felix lagged behind Sanya Richards in lane 5 as Richards came back from her fourth-place finish in Saturday’s AT&T women’s 400.
In Sunday’s 200, Felix came up on Richards’ left shoulder, then went on to win in 22.34 seconds (+0.4 mps) with Richards second in 22.43. USA 100m champion Torri Edwards was third in 22.55, with 2004 Olympian LaShauntea Moore fourth in 22.58. With Felix enjoying a bye into the World Championships as defending champion, Moore will join the U.S. delegation.
