Jim Spier's analysis: An incredible start put Jamaican Anneisha Mc Laughlin into the lead, with favorite Vernicha James (Great Britain) almost 2 meters behind off the curve. James began her charge down the homestretch and caught Mc Laughlin just at the tape, to take a 22.93 to 22.94 win, PB’s for both. Sanya Richards (USA), not really part of that battle, held on for third at 23.09. By the way, the noise level during the race was deafening. When one considers half the field of eight had Jamaican connections, that would make sense. (In the race were Mc Laughlin and Nickesha Anderson of Jamaica, Sanya Richards, born in Jamaica, and Vernicha James, whose mother was born on the island). Allyson Felix of the USA finished a creditable fifth in 23.48.

Vernicha James and Sanya Richards	Sanya Richards

Here were Sanya Richards' coach John Guarino's thoughts a couple of hours before the last individual race of his superstar athlete's high school career: "Back again for another night of world class track and field. The 200 not doubt will be hot. Sanya and I were very happy with her lane draw (3). She is in very good spirits and ready to roll. James from GBR looked real fast in the semis. Allyson struggled a bit in her semi, but the bottom line is she has the best PR going in. Mclaughlin looks fast thru 100, but I can't tell how much she is tightening up and/or easing up. I guess we will know tonite. Sanya is going to leave her best on the track tonite. After four years with her, tonight will be bitter sweet for me. So another emotional night for us all. And the tension builds.............." DyeStat TrackTalk tlhread

After the race, Sanya Richards posted this message on TrackTalk:
"Hi everyone (esp. Daddy) this is Sanya. Although i was unable to attain my goals at this meet it was a very humbling experience and i am happy i decided to attend this meet. "
thanks to everyone for all your support throughout the year and i'll be back next year as a longhorn."
Love,
Sanya Richards
