Just an amazing two days of track & field. With only three weeks until the 2012 Olympic Trials for Track & Field in Eugene, Oregon, there are some US athletes who are coming around. There are also many who have some serious work to do over the next few weeks.
Still totally impressed by Alysia Montano, and her fearless running in the 800 meters. The last 1200 meters by Mo Farah and Galen Rupp highlighted a superb 5,000 meters. And, the men’s shot was great. Reese Hoffa noted that his Training partner, Adam Nelson, should be ready for Eugene. Great shot coming up in Oslo, Norway on June 7.
