Day Eight of the 2016 Olympic Trials was a good one for the Oregon Ducks. The day began with Devon Allen getting through easily in the 110 Meter Hurdles to the Semi Final and ended with a total of five former Oregon Ducks making the final in the 1500 Meters, including a very confident Andrew Wheating who earlier this week didn’t even know if he would have the opportunity.
The rain held off for the first part of the day, but the deluge arrived during the 1500 Meters, which saw no issues on the track. In his heat, Wheating finished second behind Matthew Centrowitz to make the Sunday Final which will be the final event of the Olympic Trials at 5:20pm Pacific Time.
