US Olympic track and field trials: Winners, losers and heartbreak through four days

EUGENE, Ore. — The U.S. Olympic track and field trials has reached its halfway point. After four days of intense competition, the action on the track and the field will take a two-day break. The trials resume on Thursday.

But the first four days were filled with athletes earning their place on Team USA for the Paris Olympics.

Sha’Carri Richardson captured the women’s 100-meter title. Noah Lyles validated that he’s the fastest man in America and Ryan Crouser added to his resume as the best shot putter of all time.

Richardson ran a season-best 10.71 to win the 100. Richardson went undefeated through the rounds. In the final, her acceleration and finish propelled her past the other sprinters as she crossed the finish line about a meter ahead of everyone else.
