(Beijing, China-AP) -- Oklahoma track and field senior Jimyria Hicks took the lead for the USA team at the World University Games Wednesday.

But Hicks had to watch as the final handoff wasn't completed successfully. The USA team failed to finish the preliminary round race in Beijing, China.

She earned her spot on the American team after finishing fifth in the 2001 US Senior Nationals in the 200-meter dash.
