Gabby Thomas held off a field that included Allyson Felix with a blazing fast time to win the women's 200 meters at the U.S. Olympic track and field trials.
Thomas finished in a trials-record time of 21.61 seconds to earn a spot at the Tokyo Games. Joining her will be runner-up Jenna Prandini and third-place finisher Anavia Battle.
Thomas turned in the third-fastest of all-time, trailing only Florence Griffith Joyner, who went 21.34 and 21.56 in 1988.
Thomas broke the trials record of 21.69 set by Felix in 2012.
