Allyson Felix takes Gold -
Two years ago Golden State Prep at LA Baptist
today World Champion at 200m - Allyson Felix (Kirby Lee)
Allyson Felix, women's 200
I feel I have more confidence and strength. I know I'm not the greatest starter and that I have a
lot of work to do there. I know that I'm strong. I really was thinking to stay relaxed and power home.
I knew they were out there (after the curve). I was thinking I didn't do that 600's and stuff for anything.
So, they had to pay off today. Looking at this race and how I came off the curve, I think I can be a lot better.
I think that now I'm pretty comfortable that I don't get out well and I think it's something I'm always working for.
But, I also know how to recover from it. I can come out in races like this and be comfortable and relax and
not let it overrun me. At my first World Championships, that's when I was taking in the whole
experience. I'm thinking my future is pretty bright. I'm going to keep trying to be humble and keep
on working hard.
WHO WOULD HAVE KNOWN?
You have come a long ways Allyson! I remember back in 2000 - US Jr Nationals
in Denton Texas - ninth grader Allyson Felix from LA Baptist had some local
success (7th State 200m - 23.90 best) and I was impressed to see her family send her
all the way to the Jr Nationals where she was a fine qualifier out of the heats, and
picked up some early valuable "national-level" experience with 8th in the finals
Heat 4 Wind Reading: 1.4
1 Ashlee Williams Dallas Flyers TC 23.81 @
2 Allyson Felix LA Baptist HS 23.91 @
Race Summary--Hurdler/sprinter Ashlee Williams, who cranked a 13.58w in the 100 barrier event to qualify
there, added a win here at 23.81, with frosh Allyson Felix, probably the nation’s most improved sprinter from
the spring’s first dual meet until now, won over NCAA placers and State Champs with her 23.91 in
second (ed - talk about prophetic statements!), with five qualifiers here.

One year out of LA Baptist - Olympic Silver
Two years out of high Schoool - aims at World Champ gold!!
“My focus has been on strength and only at the later part of the season have
I moved on to the speed work.”
“To beat her (Veronica Campbell, Olympic gold medallist) in Helsinki I need to
get out well. I need to execute the first half of the race better, as Veronica is a very strong runner.”
“I gained a lot of experience from the Olympics but I have to be more patient
and learn more about the event.”
About the much speculated possibility of her being Gatlin’s girlfriend –
“Justin is a great friend. It’s nice to have him around the village.”
