EUGENE, Ore. (KWWL) -
Lolo Jones is back on Team USA. Four years after a heartbreaking hurdle strike cost her a gold medal and kept her off the award stand, the Des Moines native is headed back to London at a shot for redemption.
After a slow start, Jones gutted out the 100 meter hurdles claiming the 3rd and final qualifying spot by a mere .04 seconds. Prior to the final, Jones had run just the 5th fastest semifinal in the field.
"I shocked everybody -- I was not expected to make this team," Lolo Jones told NBC after the race.
2008 gold medalist Dawn Harper finished first and Kellie Wells was second.
