EUGENE, Ore. – Former Indiana State All-American Erin Reese made her time at the 2024 US Olympic Trials memorable, placing third in the hammer throw Sunday evening at Hayward Field.
Reese put together her best throw of finals when it mattered most, as her last attempt went 71.21m (233-07) to vault her into the top three and earn bronze. She finished higher than four athletes ranked in the top 25 in the world in the event, including two of the top three ranked hammer throwers in the world.
One of just two athletes in the field to record a mark on all six of her attempts, Reese had each of her throws traveling at least 67 meters.
