EUGENE, Ore. (AP) -- Tiffany Ross-Williams, Queen Harrison and Sheena Tosta have qualified for the U.S. Olympic team in the women's 400-meter hurdles.

Williams, who had the best time in the world in 2007 (53.28 seconds), finished in 54.03 at the Olympic track trials Sunday.

Tosta finished fourth four years ago at the Athens Olympics. Failing to qualify was Lashinda Demus, the 2005 worlds silver medalist and 2006 national champion who gave birth to twins in 2007. She finished fourth, barely edged out by Tosta by .14 seconds.
