Philadelphia Eagles’ newest recruit Devon Allen continued to show his sparkling form on the track field as he finished third at the USA Track and Field Outdoor Championships. He finished the race third in America clocking 13.09 seconds and it was enough to earn him a spot in the World Athletics Championships to be held in Oregon next month.
