Drummond, NY Robeson, US leader at 600 and 800 meters, tours an unpressed
trial heat in 1:59.86 to advance to the seeded section in the finals.

A
stellar final in the girls 200 meters was set up when US leader Aisha Margain,
CA Berkelkey, (right) ran 24.82 and Natasha Staten, PA Philadelphia,
24.87, the two fastest times of the 2000 indoor season except for Margain's
24.6h at Reno 2 weeks ago. A new US season best seems likely
Saturday. All this without Lashinda Demus, who suffered airline flight
delays in LA and missed the trials.

impressive heat winner in the prelim's fastest time of 2:16.56. Evelyn
