Reigning Olympic women’s 200m champion Veronica Campbell-Brown, of Jamaica, won the 200m crown on Saturday at the Kansas Relays.
Campbell-Brown, who won Olympic 200 gold at the 2004 Athens and 2008 Beijing Olympics, captured the Kansas title three weeks shy of her 29th birthday in 22.95 seconds with a 2.0m/sec tailwind. Porscha Lucas was second in 23.06.
Campbell-Brown is already thinking about the 2012 London Games, where she will be looking to become the first woman to win the 200m in three straight Olympics.
“It’s a long season still ahead,” she said.
“I’m patient, and I’m just going to keep training hard and I’m sure the next race will be better than this one.”
