Walter Dix completed the 100-200 sprint double at the US championships in Eugene, Ore., meaning he'll be the headliner on an American world team that will be missing Tyson Gay, Lolo Jones, and a handful of other regulars. Dix completed the double yesterday by running the 200 meters in a wind-aided 19.95 seconds for a .03 margin over Darvis Patton. Dix will head to worlds in South Korea in August as America's best sprinter, which puts him squarely on world record-holder Usain Bolt's radar with the Olympics coming up in a year.
