I'm looking for 1992 and 1996 Olympic Trials results for the distance races. Anyone know where to find them?

Good link. Note that this is the national championship link. Remember that prior to 1992, there was a national championship meet (which was not always well attended) separate from the Olympic Trials meet.
The 1992 steeplechase was one of the best races I've ever seen. It's a damn shame that someone had to be odd man out. Nohilly ran his heart out.
malmo, does that bite that your best race you place 2nd at the US Champs? Did it take away from the victory?
Was looking for video of that race today but couldn't find any. Do you know of a way to see it?

I would love to see that 1992 Olympic Trials Steeple. The most exciting distance race I've ever watched apart from the 2012 10,000 pulling for an American medal.
I've never found it on video on the internet. I know there was some television coverage, a non-major network NBC cable channel.
8:16 was the winning time and 4 guys neck and neck with 80 meters to go.
About 10 years ago someone ranked the top 50 greatest (or exciting) distance races in world history and this one was mentioned.

It was shown on NBC, I think I've got it on tape somewhere
in case the op still hasn't figured it out over the last 7 years:
