One of the favorites for Olympic gold in 2000, Hartwig met misfortune in the 2000 and 2004 Olympic Trials in Sacramento but found better luck this year in Eugene. After no-heighting at the past two Olympic Trials, Hartwig faced another gut-check moment at his first height, clearing 18-0 1/4 on his third attempt. He then went on to clear 18-8 1/4 on his third attempt to make the team. 35-year old Derek Miles made his second straight Olympic team, winning the competition at 19-0 1/4. American record-holder and the 2007 World champion, Brad Walker, came through on a windy afternoon, opening up at 18-6 1/2 which was good enough for third.

Said Thurmond, "It's been an exciting comeback and I am just enjoying motherhood. I think today was just momma-power out there." Thurmond missed the 2007 season after giving birth to a son in June 2007. She has now been on the U.S. team three times. Suzy Powell-Roos, who made the team in 1996 and 2000, will wear the USA uniform again after placing second at 206-5. Third-place Stephanie Brown-Trafton will make her second straight team, placing third. Becky Breisch finished fourth for the second straight Trials.

Entering the meet with the 9th best mark in the world this year, Phillips missed the squad by a mere 3/4ths of an inch. Trevell Quinley was safely on the team entering the last round in third place but added Olympic Trials champion to his resume by moving into first on his sixth-round jump, reaching a PR 27-5 1/4. Pre-meet #1 seed Brian Johnson was second at 27-2 3/4.
