APDefending world champion Allyson Felix won the women’s 200 in 22.34. Sanya Richards, who failed to make the U.S. team with a fourth-place finish in her best event, the 400, on Saturday, made the squad in the 200 with a second-place finish at 22.43. Torri Edwards, the 100-meter winner on Friday, was third in the 200 at 22.55.
The athletes wrapped up four days of competition at Carroll Stadium on the edge of downtown Indianapolis. The top three finishers in each event make the U.S. team for the world championships to be held Sept. 25-Aug. 2 in Osaka, Japan, providing they have met the necessary qualifying standards. In addition, defending world champions get a bye to Osaka as long as they competed in something at the U.S. meet.
Alan Webb broke Steve Scott’s 25-year-old meet record in the 1,500, winning his third U.S. title in 3:34.82. Webb surged ahead of defending champion Bernard Lagat over the final 30 meters for the victory. Leonel Manzano was second and Lagat, the meet’s 5,000 champion, finished third.
After crossing the finish line, Webb fell to his knees, his fists raised in triumph.
“I didn’t get to run this meet last year,” he said. “I didn’t get to defend my title. To lose the title, and get it back, I don’t know, it’s emotional I guess. My family was here. I wanted to prove myself I could do it again.”
For the first time since 1993, Allen Johnson won’t be competing at the worlds. The 36-year-old seven-time U.S. champion finished seventh in the 110-meter hurdles. Terrence Trammell won in 13.08.
Khadevis Robinson won his fourth U.S. 800 championship, third in a row, with a 1:44.37 clocking. Nick Symmonds added to his rapid rise in the event by taking second at 1:45.17. Lopez Lamong, the former “Lost Boy of Sudan” who passed his U.S. citizenship test Tuesday, finished fifth and missed qualifying for the worlds. Lomong, who spent 10 years in a refugee camp in Kenya, said he is hoping to compete for the United States at the Pan American Games later this year.
