Wallace Spearmon leads the 200 field going into the final. Walter Dix, who was one of the favorites, is out becuase of an injury and now the field is wide open. The ageless Shawn Crawford sailed to the final and he along with Spearmon look to be good bets to make the team. Darvis Patton in lane 1 made the 2008 Olympic Team and has the most expirence in the rest of the field, but there are five other sprinters who think they have a shot.
