Devers is human, takes fourth in French 60 hurdles

After winning her heat in 8.11 seconds, 40-year-old Gail Devers took fourth in the final tonight in the 60-meter hurdles at that Paris indoor meet. She clocked 8.00 seconds. But her 7.86 at Millrose still ranks as second-fastest of the season worldwide. It’s looking doubtful that she’ll compete Sunday at Boston open nationals, since she hasn’t declared yet for her event. And declaration deadline has passed.
