Olympic Trials qualifiers...

Discus thrower Aretha Thurmond (above/2006 file photo by Paul Merca), a two-time Olympian from the University of Washington, earned her Olympic Trials qualifying mark at the Mt. SAC Relays in April

The following is a list of athletes with ties to the state of Washington who have earned either an 'A' or 'B' qualifying standard for the US Olympic Team Trials--Track & Field in Eugene, Oregon June 27-July 6th.

It's my intent to update this list every Tuesday from now until the 17th of June, two days after the close of the qualifying period for the Olympic Trials.

I apologize in advance for any formatting errors. Also, please drop me a note if I happen to miss anyone on this list, or forget to update a mark!
