7/8/08

On Friday, June 27, 2008, at 9:20 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time, the gun fired to start the women’s 10,000-meter final at the U.S. Olympic Trials – Track and Field. It was the first night of competition. The sun had set, but you wouldn’t know it sitting in the stands at Hayward Field in Eugene, OR. The crowd lit up, along with the stadium lights, as the race that would produce U.S. track and field’s first 2008 Olympians began.
