Lolo Jones Is Rarin' To Go

Press Release

(Baton Rouge, LA - June 22, 2009) U.S. Olympian and World Indoor Hurdles
Champion, Lolo Jones is entered in the field set to compete at the 2009 USA
Track and Field Outdoor Championships. This year's event is being held at
historic Hayward Field on the campus of the University of Oregon.

Ms. Jones comes to the starting line looking to get back into the debate
over who is the best hurdler in the world. Ms. Jones has not run a race this
outdoor campaign after suffering a slight hamstring injury while contesting
the 100-meter hurdles at the Drake Relays in late April.

A strong showing in Oregon is her goal. There is also a spot on the USA Team
for the World Champions later this summer in Berlin on the line.

"My training and rehab has gone great. I'm ready to get out there and show
the fans and the other women in my event that I am capable of running the
fast times I did last year," said Ms. Jones

Her first competition is scheduled for 3:55 pm on Saturday, June 27, 2009.
That is when the first round of the 100-meter hurdles is set to begin. For
complete details about race times, see the USA Track and Field web site for

"Having the time away from competing is not something I ever wanted to do.
If I had to be out to rehab an injury, this was the time for it. I have had
some time to reflect and remember why I am running in the first place. I'm
stoked and ready to get back on the track," added Ms. Jones.
