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.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The Razorbacks produced solid marks during the Arkansas Twilight despite inclement weather which included hail and a lightning delay amid rain showers during Friday’s action at John McDonnell Field.
“I thought our headliners was shared between Daszay Freeman in the hurdles, with both races in difficult conditions, but she ended up setting the meet record, and G’Auna Ewards, who had a solid long jump and then ran two good hurdle races as well,” said Arkansas women’s head coach Lance Harter. “I think that was a good prep for next week’s multi in the conference meet.”
