Marion Jones failed to qualify for the U.S. Olympic team for the Athens Games in the 100 meters Saturday night. The reigning Olympic champion finished fifth in the 100 final. The top three finishers automatically make the team in each event at the Olympic trials.

She still will attempt to make the Olympic team in the 200 and the long jump.

Jones is under investigation by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. She repeatedly has denied using drugs and has not been charged by USADA.

Jones, known for her radiant smile and bubbly personality, was escorted by a personal bodyguard as she stormed off the track without answering questions.

"When I talk, you guys have something negative to say. When I don't talk, you have something negative to say," she said. "I'd rather not talk and spend the time with my son."

LaTasha Colander won the final in 10.97 seconds, second fastest in the world this year. World champion Torri Edwards was second in 11.02 and NCAA champion Lauryn Williams took the third Olympic spot in 11.10.

Gail Devers, a two-time Olympic champion in the 100, was fourth in 11.11 and Jones — who started quickly but seemed to struggle more and more as the race progressed — was fifth in 11.14.

Jones once dominated the 100. In addition to being the reigning Olympic champion, she is a two-time world champion and had a streak of 42 straight wins in finals from 1997 to 2001.
