July 1, 200818 yr Has anyone else been watching the Olympic trials on USA? These things are awesome I love watching this stuff.
July 1, 200818 yr I watch them when I catch them on...I like the Olympics much more, but it's nice to get to know some of the athletes before it starts.
July 1, 200818 yr Author Yea that's kinda how I am. Some of these races are just rediculous, like the 5-10, and 15,000 meter race. WOW yea rite, I couldn't even run 400 meters w/out about wanting to die.

WOW yea rite, I couldn't even run 400 meters w/out about wanting to die. 15,000 meter race? I am pretty sure the cut off is 10,000 meters. The middle distance (800 Meters) and distance races have been great so far. Seeing former St. Xavier star Bobby Curtis in the 5000 late last night was worth the lost sleep.
July 1, 200818 yr Here's a link to the results: http://www.usatf.org/events/2008/OlympicTrials-TF/schedule.asp
July 1, 200818 yr Tyson Gay is da man right now. Wind aided or not, ... he was smokin in the 100m finals!
July 1, 200818 yr I believe 2 NKY swimmers are at the trials. Cory Chitwood from Ryle/Arizona and Clare Dickman from NDA/heading to University of Florida. I'd look for them to have a chance in 4 years.
July 1, 200818 yr 15,000 meter race? I am pretty sure the cut off is 10,000 meters. They have a 15,000m race...at least they always have in the past and I don't see why they would change that.
July 1, 200818 yr They have a 15,000m race...at least they always have in the past and I don't see why they would change that. Ummmm ... no they don't ... and haven't to my knowledge. Running Events: 100 Meters 100/110 H Hurdles 200 Meters 400 Meters 400 Hurdles 800 Meters 1500 Meters 3000 Meter Steeplechase 5000 Meters (3.1 Miles) 10,000 Meters (6.2 Miles) Marathon (26.2 Miles) The relays are: 400 Meter Relay (4 x 100) 1600 Meter Relay (4 x 400) I have been around a lot of track meets/road races .... and can't remember any 15,000's (not trying to be a jerk there .... but some road races have strange distances ... and I can't even think of one that is 15,000 Meters)
