I have enjoyed watching Track and Field trials over the past week with the hubs - running vicariously through my tv :) Last night he commented, "It's crazy that one race is what decides the Olympic fate even if others ran faster times at a different race." That's the beauty of Track and Field! All of these links are related to the Trials.

I'm also a huge fan of Steeplechase. This article does a nice job explaning the history, the pain and the glory that is steeplechase

GREAT story with a terrible headline. If I ever qualified for an Olympic Trials, I would not want headlines referring to me "crashing" the trials.

I'll be cheering for Kellyn Taylor in the 5000m final!
