Track and Field Trials on USA

This event snuck up on me....

TV Schedule

All times are Eastern; subject to change; check local listings

I was glad to see the three top finishers in the 10K get the "A" standard.  Flanagan has one the fastest time in the world this year.  She was a minute off of that result, however.   A friend of mine has the best throw in qualifying and was above the "A".  I am so happy for her.  If her throw holds in the top three, this would be her 2nd Olympics.

I like the obscure times for the televised schedule.   It seems most nights are highlight shows; nothing live.  But, at least it's on TV. 

Found it.  She's injured.  Man, that really sucks, I was pulling for her to do well. 

Injured Shay to miss upcoming Track Trials.

Tegenkamp, an ex-UW Madison runner, took 1st in his heat for the 5K and will race on Mon. night.  Chris Solinsky advanced in his heat, too, another ex- UW Madison runner.  A local boy from the Madison area took 2nd behind Tegenkamp.

I hope to catch that final!

Thanks for the reminder, 8-08-08 USA starts there assualt!!!

Good link to get day schedule and results of events.

Adam Nelson is intense.  All three of those guys have a shot to medal. 

Only in competition or when being harassed by USADA.  Otherwise, he is the nicest calmest funniest guy. 

Yeah, that's what I mean.  I love the way he goes out in the sector before and the comes back to the ring and gets the crowd into it.

UNFLIPPINBELIEVABLY FAST!!  (too bad it was wind-aided, though)  But, STILL!!

How about Tyson Gay's throw back stylings?  I recognize the old uniform look.  But, don't quite understand the need for the tribute.  It's still cool though.

I like the sprintsuit that suppose to help support the legs and core.  Interesting concept though.  And, an interesting look. 

Sorry, it's the biomechanical geek in me.......

Along with two of the mens 5,000m finalists, he's another prouct of Kentucky HS T&F
