On the second night of the 2024 U.S. Olympic Track and Field Team Trials, Sha’Carri Richardson and Ryan Crouser punched their tickets to Paris. Both stars are officially bound for the Olympic Games.
Night two featured finals in the women’s 100m, men’s shot put, women’s triple jump and men’s decathlon at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon.
Richardson is headed to her first Olympics after storming to a 100m victory in a world’s best time of 10.71 seconds. Her training partners, Melissa Jefferson and Twanisha Terry, also placed in the top three to join her in Paris.
In the men’s shot put, Crouser battled through his injury-riddled spring to win the final, edging Joe Kovacs and Payton Otterdahl. All three men are headed back to the Olympics.
Olympic spots were also sealed up in the decathlon, as 23-year-old Heath Baldwin stunned the field to win the men’s decathlon with 8,625 points. He makes the U.S. Olympic team alongside Zach Ziemek, who is now just the second U.S. man to make three Olympic decathlon teams, and Harrison Williams.
Jasmine Moore won the women’s triple jump to seal up her second Olympic team spot alongside Keturah Orji and Tori Franklin.
In the men’s 100m, Noah Lyles, Fred Kerley and Christian Coleman all won their heats to secure spots in the semifinal. So did Yared Nuguse in the men’s 1500m — and Kaylyn Brown and Shamier Little in the women’s 400m.
