Sacramento, Calif. -- Olympic silver medalist Tori Bowie won her second U.S. 100m title in three years as Deajah Stevens and Ariana Washington bounced back from NCAA disappointment to finish second and third and punch their tickets for London.

Bowie's win was unsurprising--she was the only American woman to medal in either the 100 or 200 in Rio last summer, and had been in good form this year. But Stevens and Washington punching their tickets was surprising coming off the NCAA meet they had just two weeks ago.

​We talked to Ariana Washington about what has been an at-times dramatic season for the woman who was double NCAA champion at 100m/200m in 2016:



Neither of the Oregon duo auto-qualified for the 100 final on their home track at NCAAs, and neither won an event after being favored in the 100 and 200. They clearly righted the ship in Sacramento, though, cruising through the rounds and then making the team by relatively comfortable margins.

Washington was sixth at last summer's Olympic Trials, behind Gardner and Akinosun. She joined them in Rio on the 4x100m relay. This is the second senior outdoor team for Stevens as well; she made the Olympic 200m final and finished seventh there.

Bowie, Stevens, Washington, Akinosun, and surprise fifth-place finisher Aaliyah Brown (the Texas A&M senior was only seventh at NCAAs) are all back in the 200, which begins tomorrow and ends Sunday.

The 26-year-old Bowie is by far the best American short sprinter right now. She said after the race that "I have a ton to work on before worlds," and she has a great shot there at improving on her bronze from two years ago. Only four women in the world have run faster wind-legal this year than her 10.90 from the prelims of this meet. And out of those four, Aleia Hobbs failed to make the team tonight and Veronica Campbell-Brown pulled out of the Jamaican trials with an injury.

After making senior outdoor 100m teams in 2013, 2015, and 2016, English Gardner was a well-beaten sixth tonight and revealed in a post-race interview that she tore her calf a month ago. Only so many Oregon women can make the team, I guess. Allyson Felix, the dean of American sprinting, was last in the final at 11.28 seconds. She has a bye to worlds in the 400 meters as the defending world champion.

​Allyson Felix revealed after the 100m final that she doesn't expect to make the world team in the 200m, either, and her main focus is winning the 400m at worlds:​​
