The top three finishers in yesterday’s women’s 100m event at the US Olympic Track and Field qualifying meet are going to Beijing. They are Muna Lee, Torri Edwards, and Lauryn Williams.
Lee is a former world champion (2005) and an NCAA runner-up. Williams is also a former world champion. She also won the silver medal in the 100m in Athens.
Edwards, also a former world champion in the 100m, has had a difficult road to Beijing. She was disqualified at the 2000 games for using the stimulent, nikethamide and banned from competition for two years, missing the Athens games. Nikethamide has since been downgraded as a banned substance and Edwards’ suspension was lifted.
