Former Kansas State All-American Erik Kynard is headed back to the Olympics after qualifying on Sunday at the U.S. Track and Field Trials.
Kynard, who won the silver medal in the high jump at the London Games, won the event with a jump of 7 feet, 6 inches to earn a spot in the Rio Games next month. Third-place finisher Bradley Adkins also earned a spot on the Olympic team. Runner-up Kyle Landon had not jumped the minimum height, or standard, to compete in the Olympics.
Allyson Felix’s chance at the Olympic double is over.
