Charlotte 49ers All-American Trey McRae will be heading to Eugene, Oregon, home of the track and field 2016 Olympic Trials, where he will showcase his high jump talent with a birth to Rio on the line.
“I have been focusing all year on making the Olympic Trials,” said McRae. “It is mind blowing coming from not doing track at all to having a chance to go to the Olympics and jump for my country.”
The Laurinburg, N.C., native will compete in the qualifying round for the high jump on Friday, July 8 with 25 other athletes trying to represent the red, white, and blue.
