EUGENE -- Bershawn Jackson, Kerron Clement and Angelo Taylor sat elbow-to-elbow in a news conference after taking the three spots on the U.S. Olympic team in the 400-meter hurdles and confidently predicted a gold-silver-bronze sweep at Beijing in August.

The only thing they disagreed about is the order of finish once they get there.

"The U.S. is sending the best three guys to Beijing," said Taylor, who finished third in Sunday's final at the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials at Hayward Field. "I'm happy to be a part of it."
