Women's Sprint and Hurdle Picks for making the World Championship team.

There are three spots for each event, unless the 2009 world champion is from our country. THe names in bold will make the team.


100 - Carmelita Jeter has this in the bag. Unless she gets hurt or false starts she will make the world team. She is the USA's best hope for a gold medal in Daegu. Marshevet Meyers has also loked good this year finishing second to Jeter at Pre in a time of 10.86. The third spot is up for grabs, with Veterans like Lauren Williams the 2005 World Champion, the Barber twins Miki and Lisa, and LaShaunte'a Moore. Then there are mew comers like Alex Anderson, Candyce McGrone the recently crowned NCAA champion, Jeneba Tarmoh of Texas A&M who has the fastest time of any of the college girls, and English Gardner who set a new American Junior REcord running a 11.03.


200 - This race is wide open with the THREE TIME REIGNING CHAMPION Allyson Felix choosing to run the 400. Kimberlyn Duncan of LSU should win, coming off her win at NCAA's where she ran a world leading time. Bianca Knight and Shalonda Solomon have the international experience to make the team. Don't count out Jeneba Tarmoh who was right on Duncan's heels at NCAA's.

400 - This race features Allyson Felix Who is still deciding on wether to just go for 4 straight 200m titles or go for the 200/400 double. Felix will make the team in the 400 and with Sanya Richards-Ross the Reigning World Champion the USA will get 4 spots. The other two spots are up for grabs with a lot of talent gunning to make the world championship team. Jessica Beard The recently crowned NCAA Champion will be looking to make her second world team after making the team in 2009. Natasha Hastings who ran on the last 2 winning 4x400 teams at World's and ran on the Olympic 4x400 that won gold will make her second world championship team as an individual. Francena McCorory has looked good this season also, Debbie Dunn the 2010 World Indoor Champion and DeeDee Trotter cannot be over looked either.

100 hurdles - This event has so much depth in the US. For who ever finishes fourth it is going to suck. Kellie Wells has looked great this season coming off a great indoor season. Lolo Jones will always be the sentimental favorite after the disaster in the olympic finals. Danielle Carruthers has also looked great this season and will be looking to make the World team. If these Three make the team, that leaves out Olympic Champion Dawn Harper and the veteran Ginnie Crawford, but they cannot be over looked.

400 hurdles - This race also has a lot of depth in the US. The favorite is Lashinda Demus who has the fastest time in the world this year ans was ranked #1 in the world last year. The other two spots are up for grabs with the three Olympians from 2008, Sheena Tosta the Olympic Silver medallist, Tiffany Williams, and Queen Harrison the 2010 NCAA Champion over both hurdles. Ti'erra Brown the defending Champion and the 2011 NCAA Champion looks to make her first World Team. Nicole Leach, and Fawn Dorr cannot be counted out either.
