The women’s 200m is by far the most competitive event at the USOT and no one is taking about it.
Some perspectives:
o The USA has 7 of the top 10 time in the world this year.
o Sub-23 is world class elite, it took a sub-23 just to make it out of the preliminary round.
o 4 of the top-10 times in the world were run the semifinals.
o All of the USOT 200m performances have been run in less than ideal sprinting conditions.
o The finals will feature a WC 200m gold medalist, WC 100m gold medalist, WC 400m gold medalist, the NCAA 200m champ and record holder and the athlete with the best 200m time in the world.
o For the first time Allyson Felix goes into a national championship as arguably not the favorite.
This race is going to be epic!
