EUGENE -- Walter Dix didn't have the best start, and he was slow around the curve Sunday in the 200-meter final of the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials.

But know this about Dix: He can finish.

Dix, who just completed his senior year at Florida State, came from behind to catch veteran Shawn Crawford at the finish line and win the 200 in 19.86 seconds in front of 21,176 at Hayward Field.
