World champion Allyson Felix won an impressive double, the women’s 100 meters and 400m, Friday at the Qatar IAAF World Super Tour 2007, part of the IAAF World Athletics Tour 2007, in Doha, Qatar.

Felix started off her night with a win in the women’s 100m, crossing the line in 11.27 seconds to beat reigning world 100m champion Lauryn Williams, who took fourth in 11.39. A little less than an hour later, Felix was back on the track in the women’s 400m where she blasted her way to a new personal record and world-leading 50.40 for the win. The next closest competitor was over a half second behind.

In the men’s 110m hurdles, the Americans swept the top four places with David Payne stealing the win in a personal best 13.12 seconds.

Allyson Felix, Shawn Crawford and Terrence Trammell will lead a strong U.S. contingent Friday at the Qatar IAAF World Super Tour 2007, part of the IAAF World Athletics Tour 2007, in Doha, Qatar.

The women’s 100m should be a showcase as reigning world 100m champion Lauryn Williams is challenged by Allyson Felix, the world 200m champion. Felix will be pulling double duty as she is also entered in the 400m, where she will face Monique Henderson and Moushaumi Robinson, both of whom were part of the Olympic 4×400m relay team that brought home gold.

Two-time NCAA champion and 2006 USA champion Ginnie Powell will face two-time USA Indoor 60m hurdle champion Danielle Carruthers and 2007 USA Indoor champion Lolo Jones in the women’s 100m hurdles. Tianna Madison, the 2005 World Outdoor champion, headlines the women’s long jump with 2004 Olympians Grace Upshaw and Rose Richmond.
