Shawn Crawford, 31, of Van Wyck, South Carolina turned in his best finish ever on Sunday, June 31 at the USA Outdoor Championships at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon. Crawford won the men’s 200-meter dash in 19.73 seconds.
Crawford’s finish broke the Hayward Field record of 19.86, which he himself set last year (along with Walter Dix). This is Crawford’s fourth 200-meter win at the USA Outdoor Championship. He also won in 2001, 2002 and 2004.
The U.S. trials at Hayward Field determine who will compete in the World Championships in Berlin. Only the top three finishers and defending world champions qualify for the mid-August world championships.
Crawford won the gold medal in the 200-meter sprint at the 2004 Athens Olympics and the silver at the Beijing Olympics last year.
From the DeMint staff, congratulations Shawn on your recent finish. We’ll be rooting for you.
