JONESBORO, Ark. (4/27/21) – Several current and former Arkansas State track and field athletes find themselves on the verge of qualifying for the 2020 United States Olympic Trials, held June 18-27 in Eugene, Oregon.
Athletes have until Sunday, June 6, 2021, to earn qualifying marks. Reigning champions and those who meet the Olympic standards automatically qualify for each event, while the final spots in each event are filled out by hopefuls who do not necessarily have Olympic-standard marks.
Sharika Nelvis, a Bowerman finalist and NCAA sprint hurdles champion while with the Red Wolves, has earned an automatic-qualifying spot with a time of 12.
