EUGENE, Ore. -- This could feel like a road game for Allyson Felix.She has the aching right ankle and Jenna Prandini the crowd support.The last step on Felixs road to the 200-400 double figures to finally feature some drama Sunday at the U.S. Track and Field Trials.Granted, Felix is the favorite -- always is in her signature event, the one she captured gold at the 2012 London Games. But shes far from a lock with an ankle that made winning the 400 earlier in the week troublesome and running the curve in the 200 less than ideal.Whats more, this is Prandinis house. The former University of Oregon standout will have about 100 friends and family in attendance to watch her race. They even designed T-shirt with Go, Jenna, Go stenciled on them.Im at my home track, my whole family is here, Prandini said. Im set up well.Felix just wishes her ankle wouldve allowed her more time to work on the curve of the 200, the spot where this race could be won or lost.I mean, unfortunately, thats an area we havent had the luxury of working on, Felix said. Just trying to get through with what I have.Heading into trials, one of the big topics was whether Felix could make the team in both the 200 and 400. She breezed in the 400.But someone beat her to qualifying in both -- LaShawn Merritt, who finished second in the 200 on Friday after winning the 400.In addition to Prandini, Tori Bowie will be a threat to Felix, along with Oregon Duck Deajah Stevens and 19-year-old Ariana Washington, the Oregon runner who captured the 200 title at NCAA championships last month.Missing from the field will be Candace Hill, a 17-year-old high school who didnt make it out of the semifinals.It was a great experience. Im glad I went, said Hill, who turned pro last December and signed a 10-year deal with ASICS. This really helped me learn how pro meets are run. High school meets were getting too easy for me. This is the next level for me.A glance at the final day of the trials:NO SUHR-PRISE: Other than dealing with the rain, 2012 Olympic champion Jenn Suhr had an easy time in Fridays qualifying session. She cleared one height and advanced to the final, where she will be a big favorite. Sandi Morris, 24, and Lexi Weeks, 19, are also factors in final.REDEMPTION: After stumbling in the 800 meters, Brenda Martinez tries to make the Olympic team in the 1,500 meters. The top time in the semifinals was turned in by Jenny Simpson, the 2011 world champion in the event.WIDE OPEN: The womens 400-meter hurdles is wide open after favorite Shamier Little failed to make it out of the semifinals. Dalilah Muhammad won a silver medal at the 2013 world championships. Keep an eye on Sydney McLaughlin, the 16-year-old who broke national high school mark last June.HALFWAY HOME: Barbara Nwaba has a slim 11-point lead over Kendell Williams in the heptathlon with three events remaining.JUMP, JUMP: 2012 Olympic silver medalist Erik Kynard looked sharp in high jump qualifying. Jesse Williams, a favorite to make the team, aggravated a plantar fasciitis injury and wont be in the final. That opens things up for someone such as Bryan McBride, who won an NCAA title at Arizona State in 2014.GOING THE DISTANCE: Already through in the 10K, Molly Huddle tries to earn a spot in the 5,000. Kim Conley had some bad luck in the 10K -- she was stepped on, lost a shoe and eventually dropped out to save her energy for this race.FINAL TICKETS: The mens 1,500-meter race closes out the trials. Matthew Centrowitz seems like a cinch to make the team. But Ben Blankenship, Robby Andrews and 2012 Olympic silver medalist Leo Manzano will give Centro a run for the title. Fausse Yeezy Pas Cher .
