JALAPA, Mexico (AP) -- After an 11-month absence from the track, Marion Jones made an impressive return to competition.
The former Olympic champion ran the second-fastest women's 100 meters of this young season while winning a race Saturday night at the Gala Banamex Veracruz 2006. Her time of 11.06 seconds was 0.02 off the fastest of the season, set in mid-April by Allyson Felix.

Jones led a U.S. sweep of the race. Torri Edwards was second in 11.30 and Laverne Jones was third in 11.48. Jones said it was a great return and called the atmosphere for the meet at 4,900 feet "perfect."

In other events, Tonique Williams-Darling won the 400 in 50.28 over Mexican favorite Ana Guevara; Russ Buller led an American sweep of the pole vault, with Toby Stevenson second and Brad Walker third; and American Dwight Phillips won the long jump.

Yeah, well at 4,900 feet your 100 meter tiems will drop by a teth or two...still 11.06 after a layoff,with Torri Edwards who is world class, as well in the dust...not bad...

Shocker on Guevara...home turf and all..she's a good runner...maybe aging a bit...

Track anyone?
