Miles-Clark books Athens ticket

Jearl Miles-Clark booked a ticket to her fifth Olympic Games following her victory in the women’s 800m final at the US track and field trials in Sacramento last night.

American record holder Miles-Clark, 37, will be joined by her sister-in-law Hazel Clark, who came third, and runner-up Nicole Teter in the American bid to win a first medal at the distance since Kimberley Gallagher’s bronze in 1988.
