This post follows the same format as the previous one--detailing ALL the action from the Trials--heats, semis, finals, and Q rounds for the field events!
However, this title (Next 3 Days) does NOT include the two rest days (June 22nd & 23rd), so the 3 days are June 21st, 24th, and 25th!
June 21--Day Four
The Men's Pole Vault final went to script--except that Sam Kendricks was sandwiched between a couple of youngsters!
Chris Nilsen won it with 19-4.25!
Sam was 2nd with a clearance of 19-2.25!
KC Lightfoot matched Kendricks's height, but took 3rd!
The Men's JT final saw Curtis Thompson reach 271-7, a distance that won't send Johannes Vetter running for the hills, sad to say!
Michael Shuey hit 260-0, while Riley Dolezel was 3rd with 252-10.
Isaac Updike took the 3000SC semis with 8:21.01.
Hillary Bor was on his shoulder with 8:21.09!
Dan Michalski was 3rd with 8:22.03!
I really miss the exciting clashes of Will Claye and Christian Taylor!

Donald Scott was close, hitting 56-4.50!
Chris Benard took 3rd with 55-9.75!
The 1st Track final of the day was the Women's 1500, and it was a good one!
After a slight stumble near the start, Elle Purrier St Pierre took the lead and said Bye Bye!
Only Cory McGee tried to stay with Track's most famous dairy farmer, until St Pierre powered away in the final 100!
Her 3:58.03 is a Trials Meet Record, and makes her 6th A-T US!
McGee's PR of 4:00.67 ranks her 12th A-T US!
Heather MacLean has had a solid year, so her 3rd place time of 4:02.09 wasn't too surprising!
It ranks her 19th A-T US!
Shannon Osika was just edged out for Tokyo with her 4:02.18.
Super Everything Jenny Simpson didn't have it, and ended 10th in 4:07.76!
In my Combined Events lists, Purrier St Pierre's 1:59.99 and 3:58.03 adds to 5:58.02, making her 6th A-T on my US list!
Her 3:58.03 and 14:58.12 adds to 18:56.15, making her 8th A-T US on that C-E list!
Donovan Brazier was among the leaders after a 51.00 first lap of the Men's 800 final!
But when it came to closing, he faded--badly--finishing 8th and last!!
Clayton Murphy has been coming on all year, and climaxed it with a powerful 1:43.17 W!
He had slight negative splits of 51.67 and 51.50!

Bryce Hoppel took a solid 3rd with 1:44.14!
Day Four ended with the Women's 5000 final!
After her dramatic crowd rousing semi, Abbey Cooper might have been everyone's sentimental favorite!
But her 15:31.05 just wasn't enough!
The US team will be Elise Cranny (15:27.81), Karissa Schweizer (15:28.11), and Rachel Schneider (15:29.56)!
Both Cranny and Schweizer said they supported and believed their BTC teammate Shelby Houlihan!
