US Olympic track & field trials postponed...

EUGENE--On the heels of Tuesday's (24 March) decision to postpone the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo to a date beyond 2020 but no later than summer 2021, TrackTown USA announced that the 2020 US Olympic track & field trials, scheduled for June 19-28th at Historic Hayward Field (above/photo courtesy University of Oregon) in Eugene, will be postponed.

TrackTown USA's statement said that they're working with USA Track & Field and the US Olympic & Paralympic Committee on rescheduling the Trials.

"Although it is not yet clear how long it may take to finalize a new date for the event, our Local Organizing Committee stands ready to welcome the best athletes in the country to the University of Oregon’s Hayward Field once a decision is reached," said TrackTown USA CEO Mike Reilly.

"In collaboration with USATF and the USOPC, we are finalizing the policies and procedures for ticket customers to either retain their tickets for a rescheduled date or to request a refund. We appreciate our customers’ patience and understanding as we work through the necessary next steps."

Updates will be posted as soon as possible on TrackTown20.com and USATF.org.
