SYDNEY, Australia -- Inger Miller, who missed the 100 and
200 meters because of a hamstring injury, says she is ready to run
in the 400-meter relays.
"We're going to run Inger in the first round and see what
happens," U.S. women's coach Karen Dennis said.
The rest of the pool for the women's 400-relay is made up of
Marion Jones, Chryste Gaines, Gail Devers, Torri Edwards and
Nanceen Perry. Devers, however, pulled out of the 100-meter hurdles
semifinals with a hamstring injury Wednesday night and might not be
able to run.
U.S. men's coach John Chaplin announced the six members of the
men's 1,600-meter relay pool.
They are two-time Olympic 400-meter gold medalist Michael
Johnson, 400-meter silver medalist Alvin Harrison, 400-meter
hurdles gold medalist Angelo Taylor, Antonio Pettigrew, Jerome
Young and Harrison's twin brother Calvin Harrison.
Meanwhile, Canada will be without Donovan Bailey and Bruny
Surin, their two best sprinters, in the 400-meter relay. Bailey,
the 1996 gold medalist at 100 meters, pulled out of the second
round of the 100 with a respiratory virus. Surin pulled out of the
100 semifinals with a hamstring injury.
