EUGENE, Ore. – The second day of action at the USATF Olympic Trials did not disappoint for the Texas Longhorns. Texas Ex Marielle Hall made it a second straight day a Longhorn has made Team USA and head to the Olympic Games this summer.
Hall took bronze in the women's 10,000 meters as she ran in the lead pack for the entire race before she and her Olympic teammates Molly Huddle and Emily Infield pulled away with four laps to go.
Hall clocked in at 31:54.77, off her season-best but enough to ensure her spot on Team USA for the Olympics.
