Aries Merritt signaled a return to form after a 2015
Washington - Arab Today

Former Olympic 110m hurdles champion Aries Merritt signaled a return to form after a 2015 kidney transplant by winning the 60m hurdles crown on Sunday at the US Indoor Track and Field Championships.
Merritt captured his first US Indoors title since 2012, the year he also won the world indoor and Olympic hurdles titles, in 7.51 seconds edging Aleec Harris by .03 of a second.
"I'm just happy to come out here and get the win," Merritt said. "It proves I've still got it and I'm going to give it all I've got."
The 31-year-old from Chicago, who holds the 110m hurdles world record of 12.80, said he was in some ways "relieved" after missing last year's Rio Olympics because his trail leg was in pain the entire 2016 season.
The three-day meet at high altitude in Albuquerque, New Mexico, concluded with wins by a host of US Olympic standouts plus some impressive newcomers.
Ronnie Baker, coming off World Indoor Tour wins at Torun and Birmingham, matched 
Taking a first US Indoor 60m crown was Rio 4x400 US gold medal relay member Morolake Akinosun (pictured), who ran 7.08 to edge Dezerea Bryant by .03 for the women's win, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on March 5, 2017 
"I had the notion I could do something pretty special," Baker said. "We've been practising for this ever since October.
"My biggest goal right now is to make the world championship team this summer and make the Olympic team in 2020."
Also taking a first US Indoor 60m crown was Rio 4x400 US gold medal relay member Morolake Akinosun, who ran 7.08 to edge Dezerea Bryant by .03 for the women's win.
"I had a really great start," she said. "I stayed focused on my drive and I know I can really race well so I just stayed with it."
Reigning Olympic and world indoor champion Michelle Carter won her fifth consecutive US indoor crown with an effort of 19.03m. She is the daughter of former NFL player Michael Carter, a three-time Super Bowl champion with San Francisco who won shot put silver at the 1984 Olympics.
Another NFL daughter to win Sunday was 2016 world indoor high jump champion Vashti Cunningham, who cleared 1.96m to defend her US title. She is the 19-year-old daughter of retired quarterback Randall Cunningham.
"My dad is so used to everything. He has been through it already," she said. "He tells me everything I need to know and everything I have to do for every obstacle I come to."
Rio Olympic and 2016 world indoor runner-up Sandi Morris defended her US Indoor women's pole vault crown by clearing 4.70m.
"So happy to take home my second USA Indoor Title! Not happy with my mark," she tweeted. "Using this indoor as learning experience. Reset- attack outdoor!"
Shelby Houlihan captured the two mile in 10:19.14 less than 24 hours after winning the mile crown.
"I wasn't sure what to expect," she said. "When we went out slow it was playing into my hands a little bit."
Ajee Wilson, a three-time US 800 indoor champion, won the 600 in 1:23.84 with a strong finishing kick while Charlene Lipsey took the 1,000 in 2:37.97 with her own late push.
"I knew I had a kick," Lipsey said. "I told myself just try and control the first four laps and in the last lap go."
- Murphy won't leave it late -
Rio Olympic 800m bronze medalist Clayton Murphy won the 1,000m in 2:18.60, but made sure he was ahead and in control well before the end.
"I learned my lesson at Rio not to hang back too long," he said. "I wasn't going to make the same mistake twice."
Keni Harrison won the women's 60m hurdles in 7.81, edging Jasmin Sowers at the line.
Tori Franklin won the women's triple jump on her final leap of 13.86m while Alex Young used his first effort to capture the men's weight throw at 24.02m.
