After two days of rest, the Olympic Trials are back in action tonight. The women’s 1500 meters kicked off with the quarterfinals.
Christin Wurth-Thomas won the first and fastest heat with a time of 4:16.13, followed by Tiffany McWilliams (4:13.54) and Mary Jane Reeves of the Oregon Track Club (4:13.89).
Jordan Hasay is only 16 years old, but she was not afraid to take charge of the second heat. She stayed in front until 1200 meters when Shannon Rowbury passed her. In the end, Rowbury won in 4:16.13. Hasay faded to seventh, but her 4:18.39 qualifies her for the semifinals tomorrow.
The third heat was slower with Lindsey Gallo (4:17.01), Treniere Clement (4:17.33), and Tennessee’s Sarah Bowman (4:17.48) in the top three.
