Tarmoh pulls out of runoff, Felix gets Olympic spot

EUGENE, Ore. — The runoff to settle a third-place tie in the women’s 100 meters at the U.S. track trials is off — for now.

Sprinter Jeneba Tarmoh will not compete Monday against training partner Allyson Felix, Tarmoh’s agent, Kimberly Holland, said in a text to The Associated Press.

The runoff was scheduled to be held Monday night at Hayward Field. The last spot in the event for the London Games is on the line.

Felix already has qualified in the 200 after winning that race Saturday. Tarmoh is eligible to run in the Olympic 400-meter relay.

Tarmoh reluctantly agreed to the runoff. She felt she won on the track nine days ago.
