EUGENE – For the second time ever, Colorado track and field will have two Buffs compete in the Olympics in the women's steeplechase at the same time as Emma Coburn and Val Constien finish first and third in the steeplechase finals here at the USATF Olympic Trials Thursday evening.
To start the final Constien was in third while Coburn sat in seventh. Constien took the lead in the fourth lap, then Coburn moved to second in the fifth lap and sat and took the lead in the final lap. Constien fell to fourth then benefitted from a fall from Leah Falland to move to third before sprinting away to a finish five seconds ahead of fourth in 9:18.34 seconds, a personal best by nearly 10 seconds. Coburn finished in a new Olympic Trials record of 9:09.41.
Coburn, the 2017 World Champion in the steeplechase, makes her third Olympic team in the event after taking the bronze in Rio in 2016 and qualifying alongside teammate Shalaya Kipp in 2012 while both women were current CU athletes. Constien, who interned with the CU athletic department post graduation, was the 2019 Pac-12 Champion in the event and will make her first Olympic team after running nearly 20 seconds faster than she did in college two years ago.
Colorado also had two athletes advance through their prelim round in their first trials action. Eduardo Herrera moved to the finals in the men's 5,000 while Sage Hurta advanced to the semis in the women's 800.
In the 5,000, Herrera started in third and fell to seventh through the first 1600 in around 4:25 in the first heat. With four laps to go Herrera was hugging the back of the pack in 10th as the heat slowed down. He made a move to the front and sat in third close to the 10 minute mark. With 800 remaining Herrera was in fifth as a group of six began to separate. At the bell, he held outside position and passed the 10k champion. He hit the 200 mark in fifth and had a battle down the straight with Garrett Heath to finish sixth overall.
He had to wait and see, needing at least two runners from the second heat to run slower than his 13:45.33 to advance to the finals. The second heat went through the 3,000 mark with the final two runners eight seconds faster than the leader of the first heat, but a runner dropped out prior to the start giving Herrera only needing one runner to falter below his time. He ended up making it through as the final runner by time.
Hurta started her professional career on a bright note with a six-tenth of a second personal best in the women's 800 first round, advancing to semis after finishing second in her heat in 2:00.08. Hurta, who turned pro a day before the trials started, sat intelligently in the top-three before moving to second and pushing the pace in the final 300-meters. Her time was the second best time of the opening round, bettering second by nearly half a second.
Coburn and Constien add to the Buffs Olympic total that now stands at four, the fourth-most in CU history after the 2000 team of six and the 2008 and 2012 teams of five athletes. Morgan Pearson is through in the men's triathlon while Joe Klecker advanced in the men's 10,000 following a third-place finish on the first day of the trials.

Wait wait wait....did they just sing the CU fight song and not the National Anthem! The CU love is strong with these people.
According to Joe Klecker's Instagram, he thinks Sage got cut off as she had the inside lane and another runner cut in front of her and tripped her. She put out her arm and fell after getting tripped. He thought she should have automatically gotten to the finals, but with the broken arm, I don't think she could run.
Keep working Sage.
Keep working Sage.

Joe is right. Just before the collision, Hurta is in lane one and Green (who is overlapped with Hurta) has moved entirely into the second lane, probably wanting to get to the outside of the 3 lead runners as they enter the stretch. Green then changes her mind and, in three strides, cuts all the way back to the inside rail, hitting Hurta's leg and causing the fall. The fact that Green did not qualify made it easier for the officials to ignore the clear violation. Such a shame. They should still show Sage as making the final, even if she can't run. (The video of the fall is on YouTube.)
Actually, Ms. Green protested and won the protest, so she's been advanced into the final. I don't know enough about track rules and etiquette to know who if anyone was at fault (there's differing views on the letsrun.com message board I frequent), but some cynics on that board mentioned that Ms. Green may have received the benefit of being a Nike sponsored athlete. (For those who don't know, Nike is the primary sponsor of the USATF organization that administers American track and field.)
Best wishes to the next couple #ForeverBuffs scheduled to toe the starting line at the trials, with their race starting in less than an hour!
(I was interested in the race-time weather since they moved it up due to the extreme heat forecasted for Eugene (the predicted highs are now 102-103 degrees for today and 113 for tomorrow), and the forecast is for it to be 84 degrees at 11:00 and 88 degrees at noon.)

The race is now closing in on the halfway point, and the leader is forcing the pace pretty good, in spite of the weather conditions. (Did want to mention that, in addition to the warmth today, it is NOT like typical low humidity Colorado style heat, as humidity is showing around 53%.)
Looks like Ms. Morley is still in the lead pack, with Carrie Verdon falling 12+ seconds behind.

Article on yesterday's and today's track action.
Not mentioned in the article, but although neither #ForeverBuff racer running today advanced in today's women's 10000M, one of those who did advance (Alicia Monson, who competed collegiately at Wisconsin) is coached in Boulder by #ForeverBuff Dathan Ritzenheim. Congrats for him helping get a 2nd American (he also coaches Joe Klecker) to Tokyo. (Note - I believe he also coaches a couple very good younger Aussie runners, but I don't know if they've been selected or will be selected for the Olympics by their federation or not.)

EUGENE – Colorado track and field athletes begin to close out the 2020 USATF Olympic Trials with four women finishing up competition here Friday and Saturday in three different events.
Saturday morning in blistering hot conditions former Buffs Makena Morley and Carrie Verdon finished up their trials competition in the finals of the women's 10,000-meters. Battling 85 degree with high humidity and hotter temperatures track side, Morley finished 19th overall in 33:02.87 while Verdon finished 27th in 33:18.61. Verdon also competed in the two rounds of the women's 5,000, the only Buff to run in three races this week. The race was won by New Balance athlete Emily Sisson in a meet record of 31:03.82 as she strung out the field and won by a decisive 13 seconds.
Friday saw two newly graduated Buffs as Sage Hurta ran in the semis of the women's 800 and Eriana Henderson competed in the first round of the 400 hurdles. Hurta was in fifth in her heat seeking a top-three finish or next two fastest times when she clipped the heels of Hanna Green who moved in on Hurta to close her out in the final 80 meters. Hurta took a devastating crash after clipping Green's heel, resulting in a broken wrist and a broken Olympic dream. Despite the cutoff, Green successfully protested her way into the finals as she was a tenth of a second from the final time qualifier.
Henderson, who did not know she was competing at the Olympic Trials until Tuesday, came out of her brief retirement and competed admirably. Up against World Record Holder Dalilah Muhammad, Henderson finished sixth in her heat in 58.55 seconds for 22nd overall at the trials.
Due to anticipated record high temperatures reaching 102 and 112 degrees Saturday and Sunday, the women's 10k and the men's 5k finals were both moved to 11 a.m. MT. Colorado has one more athlete competing as Eduardo Herrera earned the final time qualifier in the men's 5,000 and will compete Sunday morning. Former Buff and now Olympian Joe Klecker opted out of the 5,000 after earning his spot of Team USA in the men's 10,000 with a third-place finish.
CU track will have at least four alums heading to Tokyo at the end of July with Morgan Pearson qualifying first in the men's triathlon, followed in order by Klecker in the 10,000 and Emma Coburn and Val Constien in the women's steeplechase.

About 10 minutes until the last Buff begins their race at this year's Trials.
Best wishes to Mr. Herrera!
(Based on times and so forth, probably a big ask for him (as its been for most #ForeverBuffs at these trials), especially as a younger runner, to be a serious contender for an Olympic berth today, but what valuable experience as he possibly begins a pro career either now or in the near future, or just as an experience "to tell the grandkids about one day".)

Probably the last cubuffs.com article out about the Trials, at least as far as "new(s) stories" goes. (Would be nice to have an overall review article at some point, with some quotes from various participants and coaches.)

EUGENE – Colorado track and field senior Eduardo Herrera closed out the 2020 USATF Olympic Trials here Sunday morning in the final of the men's 5,000.
The senior sported the black and gold and finished 15th overall in 14:00.46 to close out an amazing week of competition for Colorado athletes current and former. Herrera will take this experience and apply it in his return to Boulder for his final year of competition.
Herrera started the first 800 in third then things picked up and he dropped to sixth as two members of the 10k Olympic team made early passes. Competing without the Olympic Standard, Herrera knew he had to go out with the leaders. Paul Chelimo, the 2016 Olympic silver medalist, took the lead and pushed the pace faster to string out the race early as Herrera fell to ninth. With some clipping, the leaders began getting chippy as Woody Kincaid, the 10k champ, took the lead to string things out faster as Herrera dropped to 12th around 15 meters back. The pack started coming back together around the nine-minute mark as a pack of 12 grouped up with Herrera trailing that by a few meters. NCAA XC Champ Connor Mantz of BYU took the lead with 1000 left and started to crank out the speed. At the bell, Grant Fisher took the lead followed by Chelimo and Oregon's Cooper Teare, but in the end Chelimo took the win with the pair of the 10k Olympians qualifying in Kincaid and Fisher. Herrera finished 15th in 14:00.46 as Chelimo took the win in 13:26.82.
Colorado had athletes compete in every single day of the USATF Olympic Trials with 14 athletes former and current competing. Joe Klecker placed third in the men's 10,000 on the first day to punch his ticket to Tokyo. Nine Buffs made finals in their respected events, highlighted by Emma Coburn winning the steeplechase in a meet record to make her third Olympic team. In the same race, Val Constien ran a personal best and finished third to earn her first Olympic berth and Team USA spot.
Klecker will be the first Buff on the track on July 30th for the 10k final in Japan, followed by the two women in the steeplechase first round on August 1st. The final for the steeplechase is August fourth. Morgan Pearson will compete in the triathlon July 26 which starts at the Odaiba Marine Park, while the track events are scheduled to compete at the Olympic Stadium in Tokyo.

All the Buffs scheduled to compete have finished their Trials, but wanted to mention that any other U.S. athletes still competing for an Olympic bid this evening have had their events delayed due to extreme heat in Eugene. (As I type this, weather.com shows Eugene as being at 107 degrees F as of 5:38 PM PT, with a "feels like" temperature of 112.)
The schedule now looks to have tonight's action hopefully beginning at 8:30 PM PT/ 9:30 PM MT on the field (men's long jump), and ~9:00 PM PT/ 10:00 PM MT on the track (women's heptathlon final event, the 800M run). (Looks like original plans were to have begun this evening's schedule at 5:00 PM MT.)
For any general track and field fans, updated schedule in the below tweet. On my NBC sports app, it does look like they're still planning on showing the day's 6 remaining events, with coverage beginning at 9:30 PM MT (looks to be on NBCSN on the TV-side).

Emma Coburn is scheduled to be racing in Monaco in a few hours in a premiere Diamond League meet, with her race scheduled to begin at 1:36 PM MT.
Overall, main coverage of the meet, on NBCSN, begins at noon MT, with additional coverage of a few field events beginning at 11:05 AM MT on Peacock.

Note - Of course, one never knows how any race develops (tactical or fast, etc.), and I assume at this point almost all of Ms. Coburn's (and her competitors) attention is on peaking for the Olympics, but Monaco is known as a FAST track. If things develop so that it is a fast pace, it would be great if she can challenge the American record of 9:00.85, set at this track back in 2018, that is currently held by Courtney Frerichs (in the only race in which she's ever finished ahead of Ms. Coburn).

Looks like a couple #ForeverBuffs had solid performances at the "Under Armour Sunset Tour" meet stop in Sacramento, with Sara Vaughn getting the win in the 1500M while Dani Jones earned what I believe (???) is a solid PR in the 800M.
(Extra props to them for fighting the heat. It looks like the meet's 1st race, the women's 800M, wasn't scheduled to begin until 8:15 PM PT. However, per a weather page I found, it was still 102 degrees in Sacramento at that time.)
