Associated Press Track and Field News Wire WALNUT, Calif. -- Marion Jones has a long way to go to resurrect her once sparkling track career.
Jones faded badly down the stretch and finished a distant last in the 400 meters Sunday at the Mount San Antonio College Relays, her first meet since her disastrous performance in the Athens Olympics. She finished in 55.03 seconds in the race, which Novlene Williams won in 51.49. Jones drew loud cheers from the sparse crowd of some 6,000 in the 15,000-seat Mount SAC stadium when she was introduced. One young girl yelled, "Go Marion," -- to no avail -- as Jones turned for home. Jones and her boyfriend, sprinter Tim Montgomery, were quick leaving the stadium after her race, however. Neither would speak with reporters. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/wire?section=trackandfield&id=2039489
