Lolo isn't in great form and the 100mH is one of the most competitive events at the Trials. In fact she's only ranked ninth in the US this year.

Re: US Olympic Trials - Track and Field
Ashton Eaton set a World Record in the Decathlon storming his way to winning the 1500m! 
His reaction was great!
Lolo Jones goes to the Olympics again too!

Re: US Olympic Trials - Track and Field
Pleased for Lolo! Really didn't think she would make it.

Re: US Olympic Trials - Track and Field
Two ladies (one of them Allison Felix) tied for 3rd in the 100 m 
The USA can only seed 3 athletes to London and there are no tiebreaker procedures in place. I wonder how it will be settled.

Re: US Olympic Trials - Track and Field
She should've gone for the 400 instead.  |

Re: US Olympic Trials - Track and Field
Allyson is capable of running a sub 11.00 Tarmoh has yet to prove. A run-off must happen.

Reportedly, they've both expressed reluctance about doing a run-off.

Where did you hear this? From what I understand, it still is not settled.

From when race finished on TV. Next day they said it was unsettled. Sorry.
Can we get a list of all US qualifiers?
