Carmelita Jeter, the 100m finals winner, was second, and Sanya Richards-Ross, the 400m winner, was third.

Allyson Felix Wins Women’s 200m At Olympic Trials, Carmelita Jeter Is Second
Jeneba Tarmoh was fifth, finishing in 22.35 seconds. Tarmoh and Felix finished in a dead heat in the 100m earlier in the week; an announcement on how to resolved the tie -- a coin flip or a runoff -- is expected to come Saturday night or early Sunday morning.
Felix won the 200m race in 21.69, which not only is a personal best, but it’s also the third-fastest time ever run by an American. She was so dominant that first place was all but a sure thing by the 150-meter mark.
