Shalonda Solomon was the world-leader before the championships with her run of 22.15 seconds which made her the 2011 US champion.

The results of the three semifinals placed three Jamaicans and three Southern California athletes as the automatic qualifiers. Debbie Ferguson-McKenzie and Hrystyna Stuy were the time qualifiers. In the final, Campbell-Brown burst out of the blocks, making up the stagger on Solomon to her outside. In the home stretch, Campbell-Brown and Jeter separated from the rest of the field, until Campbell-Brown pulled ahead for a clear victory. Defending champion Felix, who looked sluggish throughout the season, closed fast to challenge Jeter near the line.
