This week’s Nationals will answer some questions for track fans. How will the sprint combatants Campbell-Brown and Fraser-Pryce fare? Who can tell? For one thing, the latter has raced sparingly, finishing down the track at Eugene’s Prefonatine Classic, in May. She bounced back to win at the Racers Grand Prix, in Kingston two weeks ago, in 11.00secs, a far cry from her heart-stopping world leads. She is nursing a bothersome toe injury, and I believe that her national crown is in jeopardy. If she cannot continue to train properly and find top form quickly, she will not three-peat in Rio. Count her out at your own peril, however. She cannot be toyed with.
Meanwhile, the diva, Campbell-Brown, continues steady progress. She has run 10.87secs and twice, 22.29secs, in the 100m and 200m, respectively. She is quietly improving again, even at 33. She has once again made me a firm believer in her never-say-die-attitude. She is a proud athlete, and like many of the best, hates to lose. I think she will take the double at Trials.
