Richards-Ross Sets Olympic Trials Record in 400 EUGENE, Ore. - Sanya Richards-Ross is back with a vengeance. Richards-Ross, the bronze medalist at the 2008 Beijing Games, tied a United States Olympic Trials record Sunday and trounced her opponents in the women's 400-meter dash with a time of 49.28 seconds. Also headed to the London Games for the United States in the women's 400 are DeeDee Trotter and Francena McCorory. For the 27-year-old Richards-Ross, solidifying her London berth capped her strong season, a powerful rebound from health issues that plagued her in recent years. In 2007, she received a diagnosis of Behçet's, a rare systemic disease. At the end of 2010, she was referred to a new doctor, she said after her race Sunday, and is being treated for a skin disease. "It's been going really well," Richards-Ross said. My body has been feeling great and I feel like I'm back to 100 percent. I haven't had the joint pains and the fatigue nearly as much as I've had the last couple of years. I still have mouth and skin lesions but not nearly as bad. Her training has improved, too, she said. "I feel that the worst is behind me," she said. I feel fresh and rejuvenated. Attending the news conference was Richards-Ross's husband, Aaron Ross, a cornerback for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Richards-Ross said she planned to move to Jacksonville for part of the year, but "we still consider Texas home." Ross will be able to take a break from training to watch his wife race in London. "My husband really balances me out," Richards-Ross said. I'm kind of high strung and bouncing off the walls and all over the place and he is so calm. Right before I went out today, he just looked me in the face and said: "Execute. Just relax and execute. And I thought about that right before I got into the blocks today. I just need to relax and have fun and execute. Richards-Ross faces tough competition in her event not only from her American peers, but also from Jamaica, a constant home for sprinting talent, and from Botswana's Amantle Montsho, the current world champion. Richards-Ross bested Montsho at the Prefontaine Classic here earlier this month with a time of 49.39 seconds. "I'm a different competitor than I was," Richards-Ross said.
