Allyson Felix all but guaranteed a spot on her 10th — and final — world championship team on Saturday at the 2022 U.S.
Championships at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon. Felix, an 11-time Olympic medalist and the most decorated track & field athlete in world championship history, finished sixth in the women’s 400m, which should earn her a spot on at least one world championship relay team. (While the top four 400m finishers are guaranteed a spot, Felix’s performance is expected to earn her one of the discretionary picks.) Felix, 36, has competed at every world championships since making her first U.S.
team in 2003. Talitha Diggs, who claimed the 2022 NCAA 400m title as a sophomore at Florida, won her first national title with a time of 50.22.
Diggs comes from a decorated track family. She is the daughter of four-time Olympian Joetta Clark Diggs and niece of three-time Olympian Hazel Clark and four-time Olympian Jearl Mills.
