EUGENE, Ore. – Nathan Green and Joe Waskom both placed in the top-seven at the U.S. Olympic Trials today at Hayward Field, each running the fastest times of their careers in the 1,500-meter final. Green took fifth and Waskom was seventh, coming up just a couple places shy of qualifying for the Paris Olympics.
Â
In the fastest Olympic Trials final in U.S. history, both of the Husky NCAA Champs ran under the Olympic Standard for the first time in their careers.
Â
Green was the top collegiate finisher in the Trials in fifth in 3:32.20, breaking his own School Record that he set just two days ago by more than two seconds. Waskom was seventh in 3:33.74, the fastest time of his life as well.
Â
Green also climbs to No. 7 on the NCAA all-dates list that includes marks run by a collegiate at any point in the calendar year. The time is significantly faster than the official in-season collegiate record of 3:33.74.
Â
Cole Hocker got the victory in a Meet Record 3:30.59. Third-place, the final Olympic spot, went to Hobbs Kessler in 3:31.53, so Green was just 0.67 seconds away today.
Â
The grueling past couple weeks have seen Green and Waskom run five different 1,500-meter races at Hayward Field, from the NCAA Outdoor semifinals on June 5 to the finals on June 7, and then three more runs over the past four days at the Trials.
Â
Also in action today was 2023 grad Kayley DeLay in the first round/semifinal of the steeplechase. DeLay took seventh in her heat in 9:31.04 and that was good for a time qualifier into the final as it was the 11th-fastest time overall. DeLay will race in the final on Thursday night.
