U.S. WOMEN'S 400-METER RELAY TEAM SET

BRISBANE, Australia (AP) - Barring any unforeseen circumstances,
the U.S. women's 400-meter relay team for the Olympic final will
consist of Chryste Gaines, Gail Devers, Inger Miller and Marion
Jones. That foursome has yet to run together, but women's team
coach Karen Dennis, who was with the team's sprinters during a
recent European swing, said Thursday the plan was to run that
group Sept. 30. Gaines, Devers, Miller and Jones were scheduled
to run at Brussels on Aug. 25, but the race was canceled. Dennis
said there still was plenty of time for the final four to work
together. Each of the four also will compete in individual events
at the games -- Jones in the 100 and 200 meters and long jump,
Miller in the 100 and 200, Devers in the 100 hurdles, and Gaines
in the 100. Dennis said she had not yet decided about her final
lineup for the 1,600 relay, also to be run Sept. 30.
