...so sick of the "devastated" label

How about Jim Weber & Jesse Williams from Brooks for signing off & investing in the Beasts. They have no excuse for not putting one of their athletes on the Olympic team. Is it the coaching? Is it the race planning? Is it the athletes on that team? I'd take a real hard look at that team & maybe shake things up...

Eric Jenkins, he was so close in the 5k. Just a tenth behind. Shame really not a single American in representing the United States in the 5k

Talked to him afterwards, he's in good spirits, knows he's young and got a future and this experience will help him in the future.

Ducks running on their home track and who have run well enough recently to have made it: Laura Roesler, Jenkins, and Raevyn Rogers

The second two are young and were just fine afterwards and focused on the future. LR has a great support team and family.

Ben True. Should have easily made both teams and just choked.

I agree but would also add Eric Jenkins - he was right there with Chelimo and Ryan Hil.

Hill and True, considering their kicking ability, allowed the transplants to get in front of them late in a slow race. Cowardice. Sure, Bernie is juiced to the gills, and Mead is legit, but still. Cowardly running.

The answee to this question has no close second: Felix in the 200M.

Duane "Bang" Solomon

Donavan Brazier

Chanier Little in the intermediates

Jason Young who finished 5th in the Men Discus and Aubrey Baxter who finished 5th place in the Women's Hammer Throw!!!

Proof that Brazier probably did not run 25-30 miles per week all year as some claimed. It might also prove that he did not do enough aerobic work leading into the U.S. Olympic Trials. Whoops!

Huling

Katie Mackey

Ben True

Sowinski

Wheating

Will Leer

Ryan Hill

A lot of people will retire from under-performing at this meet.

+1

Didn't the Rio organizers even rearrange the event schedule to accommodate her 200/400 double? That's devastation.

Agree about Felix.

And she couldn't even go home DEVASTATED to her dog, as her dog died.

Morgan Uceny. She spent four years trying to get her form back and she did, only to lose making the team to father time. She ran the best race she was capable of and was less than 100 yards from making the team, when she just literally failed. It was so hard to watch.

Wow, Richard Hymans needs to retire. He's lost it. Out of touch. Walter Dix for Bronze in the 200m? Ben True Bronze over 5000m? Aries Merritt Gold in 110mH? Johnny Dutch Gold in 400mH? Trey Hardee Silver in Decathlon?

and seems like half of those that are there, didn't make it through.

Brittney Reese made it through.
