Track and Field
Men’s 110m Hurdles – Finals
Grant Holloway</roster.aspx?rp_id=17041> has his Olympic gold medal. In the three years since a silver medal finish in the Tokyo Games, Holloway has utterly dominated the event in worldwide competition. Thursday night was more of the same.

His 12.99 time Thursday provided a full tenth of a second winning margin. His pace was one of only two to crack the 13-second mark during the Paris Olympics, with his own semifinal effort the other. One of the most dominant athletes in the history of the 110m hurdles now bears the title, “Olympic Champion.”

Women’s Long Jump – Finals
It was more history for Jasmine Moore</roster.aspx?rp_id=17026> on Thursday, as she claimed her second bronze of the Paris Games. Her first jump, 6.96 meters, was the best of the group and that effort remained as her medal-winning mark.

Moore became the first U.S. woman in history to qualify for both the long jump and triple jump at the Olympic Trials. Today she became the first U.S. woman to medal in both.

Heptathlon – 100m Hurdles
Anna Hall</roster.aspx?rp_id=17024> opened the day with the 100m hurdles, coming in seventh in her heat with a 13.36 time and collecting 1071 points, 73 out from the lead. It was not the mark she was looking for, due to a bump of the third hurdle that put her behind the pack.

Heptathlon – High Jump
Hall, looking to rebound from her debut race, couldn’t have picked a better time to set a season best. Her 1.89m leap secured third in the event, and another 1093 points. The gap narrowed, now just 33 points behind the lead to end the morning session.

Heptathlon – Shot Put
Hall recorded a throw of 14.11m during the shot put competition, which netted her eighth place and an additional 801 points.

Heptathlon – 200m
Hall’s final effort of day one saw her achieve a 23.89 time in the 200m, worth 991 points, inching her closer to the lead. She finished in third place, 99 points from first.

Women’s Shot put – Qualifiers
Lloydricia Cameron</roster.aspx?rp_id=17052> gave her best effort of the season – twice – but couldn’t muster a mark that pushed her through to advance to the final. Her first throw at 18.01m, was a season best. With a top-12 finish still in play, Cameron again raised her 2024 best to 18.02. She finished the qualifier in 14th place, just shy of finals qualification.

Alida van Daalen</roster.aspx?rp_id=17021> put up a 16.53 meter mark, good for 26th in the qualifiers. She did not advance to the shot put final.

Men’s 4x100m – Round 1
Hakim Sani Brown</roster.aspx?rp_id=17058> ran the lead leg for team Japan. His early effort helped loft them to a fourth-place finish, just .02 seconds behind an auto-qualification in third. Their next-best time secured them a spot in Friday’s final.

Joseph Fahnbulleh</roster.aspx?rp_id=17022> ran the anchor for Liberia, but after he was the last man to receive the baton at the third handoff, his blazing speed wasn’t enough to catch up to the top-3. He turned his focus to his 200m final.
