At the Olympic Trials, she qualified for the final and was assigned lane 7, just outside [[Sanya Richards-Ross]] in lane 6.  Richards-Ross ran hard from the start closing down the stagger on McCorory.  Sensing the challenge, McCorory exploded down the backstretch, leading around the turn to the head of the home stretch, but she paid the price for the early effort and struggled to the finish.  Richards-Ross charged past her, in the process setting the best time of the year, followed by [[Dee Dee Trotter]], who made her third straight Olympic team.  McCorory managed to hold off [[Debbie Dunn]] to claim third place and a trip to the Olympics.<ref>[http://www.legacy.usatf.org/events/2012/OlympicTrials-TF/Results/Results6-3.htm Women's 400 Meter Dash] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120915130539/http://www.usatf.org/events/2012/OlympicTrials-TF/results/Results6-3.htm |date=2012-09-15 }}. 2012 Olympic Trials. usatf.org.</ref>
