Allyson Felix ran her fastest 400m since 2017 in her first time racing the distance since 2019 on Tuesday.
Felix, a 35-year-old bidding for her fifth Olympics (and first as a mom), won in 50.88 seconds in swirling winds at the USATF Open in Prairie View, Texas.
Felix, who is expected to race both the 200m and 400m at next month’s Olympic Trials, was also scheduled for the 200m later Tuesday afternoon. The fields do not include the highest-ranked Americans in Felix’s events.
Felix clocked her fastest 400m since she had daughter Camryn on Nov.
