EUGENE, Ore. (AP) – Justin Gatlin won the 200-meter final at the U.S. Olympic Trials on Saturday, and 41-year-old Bernard Lagat won the 5,000-meter race.
Gatlin qualified for his third Olympics, and Lagat is going to the Games for the fifth time.
Gatlin ran the 200 in 19.75 seconds to nudge out LaShawn Merritt by .04. Also making it was Ameer Webb, who finished ahead of high-schoolers Noah Lyles and Michael Norman.
Joining Lagat at 5,000 meters are Hassan Mead and Paul Chelimo.
Allyson Felix made it through her semifinal and will be in the eight-woman 200-meter final Sunday.
The 110-meter hurdles title went to Devon Allen, who runs track and plays wide receiver for the Oregon Ducks. Ronnie Ash and Jeff Porter took the other spots, but left out were three Olympic veterans: David Oliver, Jason Richardson and defending champion Aries Merritt.
