WOMEN'S 100 PREVIEW

Defending world champ Marion Jones is running only the 200, since she has to earn her place there. Reigning 200 champ Inger Miller contests just the century, since she gets an automatic pass in the half-lap. After an 11.09w victory in her heat, Miller looks like the favorite to regain the national century crown she won in '99-in Eugene.

But it will be close, especially since both veteran Chryste Gaines and Olympic teammate Torri Edwards sped 11.10 to win their heats (Gaines with legal wind, Edwards illegally aided).

A trio of collegians could break up this veteran group. Three-time NCAA champ Angela Williams, collegiate runner-up Shakedia Jones and NCAA 200 champ Brianna Glenn could slip into the top 3 but it would take a flawless run, as well as no hindering headwinds.
