Winkler, Felix, and Cherry shine at USATF Open in Texas
FORT WORTH Strong winds impacted every event at the USATF Open Tuesday at the AP Ranch, but couldn’t keep Olympic legend
Allyson Felix and
Michael Cherry from stealing the show – she with her fastest 400m in four years, and Cherry with a lifetime best in the men’s 400m. This Continental Tour bronze level meet was the latest in USATF’s 2021 Journey to Gold Tokyo Outdoor Series.
Felix, the Rio silver medalist in 2016 and a bronze medalist at the 2017 World Championships, ran her first 400m of the year and looked comfortable in clocking 50.88 to win by almost half a second. Team USATF women make up 24 of the 34 athletes that have hit the Olympic qualifying standard.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Americans Noah Lyles and Allyson Felix finished their races with a burst of speed while NFL star DK Metcalf outperformed expectations but came up short of making next month’s Olympic trials at the Golden Games meet in Walnut, California on Sunday.
The 200 meter world champion Lyles, the favorite to take home gold in the event at this summer’s Tokyo Games, trailed for most of his race but found another gear late to catch countryman Kenny Bednarek over the final five meters to seal the win.
“I don’t always want to rely on my biggest strengths, I want to work on my weaknesses just as much,” Lyles said when asked if he plans to rely on his impressive closing speed going forward.

The 2021 USATF Grand Prix had the star power and the results reflected as much. Three world-leading performances went down along with a lot of competitive and interesting results, just weeks out from the 2021 Olympic Trials. Trayvon Bromell and Noah Lyles had all eyes on them in the 100m.
In the Nike Men’s 100m, many had Lyles as the favorite and rightfully so, but Bromell had a strong indoor season and some 200m races last month showed his fitness. After posting a 10.01 in the prelims, Bromell followed it up with a 10.01 performance in the final, good enough for first.
