Texas Track & Field’s Davis punches ticket to Tokyo at U.S. Olympic Trials

EUGENE, Ore. – Another spectacular performance from Tara Davis, who punched her ticket to Tokyo in the women's long jump, highlighted Texas Track & Field's Saturday at the U.S. Olympic Trials in Eugene, Ore. Davis joined a pair of former Longhorns in Teahna Daniels, who earned an Olympic bid in the 100m on Sunday, and Texas Ex Ryan Crouser, who broke the World Record in the shot put and will return to defend his Gold Medal, as members of Team USA.

Davis, the NCAA Indoor and Outdoor Long Jump Champion and Collegiate Indoor and Outdoor Record Holder, turned in a historic day for a Longhorn and a collegiate jumper at the trials.
