2008 U.S. Olympic Team Trials – Track and Field, Day 7

The final weekend of the 2008 U.S. Olympic Team Trials – Track and Field began under overcast skies, with the opening round of the 100 meter hurdles competition.

Much of the day’s action occurred in the field events, with the women’s shot put and hammer throw taking center stage. Two time NCAA champion Jessica Pressley from Arizona State University placed seventh in the shot put, while teammate Sarah Stevens placed 11th. In the final running event of the afternoon, Anthony Famiglietti set out at meet record pace in the 3,000 meter steeplechase, to make his second U.S. Olympic team.
