C . from seeing the whole stadium to seeing only one lane
Explanation:
The scene begins in the stadium of a state championship track meet with four events going on at the same time. There is a noisy crowd. At the end of the scene, the focus has narrowed to a tunnel that is occupied by Elaine's lane and the finish line. The author uses this change to give the reader a better sense of the intensity of Elaine's focus.
At first, Elaine is aware of the whole stadium and the huge noise that the crowd is making. However, this feeling does not last long because Elaine is intent on winning the gold medal, and the only thing that is important to her is her individual lane and the finish line that is at the end of that narrow strip of track.
