	Jones makes team with long jump win - The Boston Globe
		The 2000 Olympic long jump bronze medalist, who has refused to speak to reporters while facing allegations she has used performance-enhancing drugs, appeared poised, as she has throughout the trials.
		Joining Jones on America's long jump team were Grace Upshaw, who earned a berth with a jump of 22-5, and Akiba McKinney, who took third with a leap of 21-6 3/4.
		Between jumps, Jones made repeated trips to see coach Dan Pfaff, who during one exchange told her to "just read the wind." Her remaining jumps weren't as good, but they didn't need to be.
