EUGENE, Ore. – Former Ducks Cyrus Hostetler and Sam Crouser added to Oregon's Olympic tally on Monday at the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials as both will represent their country in Rio this summer.
Hostetler, who still holds the Oregon school record, won the event by jumping to the top of the leaderboard from fourth place on his fifth attempt of 273-1 (83.24m). The throw was a meet record, topping the throw of Curtis Thompson who broke the previous record on his first attempt of 271-11 (82.88m).
"The second I hit it, I knew it was gone," Hostetler said.
