INDIANAPOLIS
- Allyson Felix has been named USA Track & Field's
Athlete of the Week after smashing the world junior record Saturday and
posting
a 2003 world leader in winning the women's 200 meters at the IAAF
Grand Prix Banamex in Mexico City.
A senior
at Los Angeles Baptist High School in California, Felix
ran 22.11 seconds to better the 1980 world junior record of 22.19 set
by
Russian Natalya Bochina. The 17-year-old American's time is faster than
every
winning time at the Olympic Games through 1976, and it also bests
the
1996 gold medal-winning time of France's Marie Jose Perec by .01
seconds.
With
her performance in Mexico City, Felix lowered the U.S.
Junior and high school record of 22.51 she set two weeks ago at the Mt.
SAC Relays in Walnut, Calif. The University of Southern
California-bound Felix, who placed second in the 200 meters to American
indoor record holder Michelle Collins at the 2003 USA Indoor
Championships, now ranks #1 in the world this year in the 200.
Other world-leading performances turned in Saturday by American
athletes include Derrick Brew's 44.83 win in the men's 400 meter in
Mexico City, Raasin McIntosh's 12.90 to win the women's 100m hurdles at
the Texas Invitational, 2002 USA 5,000m champion Alan Culpepper's
27:41.90 in the 10,000m at the Cardinal Invitational, and Lisa
Aguilera's 9:51.65 in the 3,000m steeplechase at the Double Dual track
meet in Tempe, Ariz.
Now in its third year, USATF's Athlete of the Week program is
designed to recognize outstanding performers at all levels of the sport.
USATF names a new honoree each week and features the athlete on the
USATF Web site. Selections are based on top performances and results
from the previous week.
