Gail Devers a mom again. Another comeback in offing?
USATF reports: “Five-time Olympian Gail Devers and her husband, Mike Phillips, have welcomed their second daughter into their family. Legacy Brielle Phillips was born October 23, measuring up at 6 pounds, 13 ounces and 19 inches long. Legacy’s 2-year-old big sister, Karsen, is busily helping mom with feedings and diaper changes . . . Devers (40) is a two-time Olympic gold medalist and the 1993 world champion in the 100 meters and is a three-time world champion in the 100m hurdles, where she holds the American record. Devers competed during the 2007 indoor season and is also a coach and agent.” Gail has yet to utter the R-word (retirement), so hope exists she’ll try for her sixth Games in 2008.
