Campbell-Brown secures spot in Rio

Make it five Olympics for former Arkansas sprinter Veronica Campbell-Brown.

Campbell-Brown, 34, took second in the 200 meters in 22.80 seconds Sunday at the Jamaican Senior National Championships in Kingston to automatically qualify for the 2016 Olympics held later this summer in Rio de Janeiro.

Campbell-Brown likely would have made the Jamaican team in the 400 relay after taking fourth in the 100 meters (11.10) Thursday night, but her second-place finish in the 200 assures her another Olympic appearance. She has won seven Olympic medals — including two gold medals in the 200 — while competing in 2000, 2004, 2008 and 2012.
