Wednesday's qualifying for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro was a light affair featuring just the men's and women's finals in the hammer throw.
Kibwe Johnson and Amber Campbell were the top American finishers at the London Olympics four years ago, though neither managed to procure a medal for their efforts. Johnson came in ninth, while Campbell finished 13th.
Both athletes were hoping to find success on the court to make it to Rio. Here is how things played out for the men and women with Olympic dreams.
