A DesperAte Dive
At the U.S. Olympic Trials in Eugene, Ore.,
from July 1–10, America’s best track and
field athletes gave it their all in more than
20 running, jumping and throwing events
while trying to earn a spot on Team USA
bound for Rio de Janeiro later this month.
The base criteria of success was simple—
finish in the top three and earn a trip to the
Rio Olympics, or take solace in a personal
best effort if the harsh disappointment of
finishing fourth or lower wasn’t too over-
whelming. As such, the meet was full of
amazing performances worth celebratory
high-fives, hugs and joyful tears. But there
were also heartbreaking results for many,
knowing the chance to earn an Olympic
berth was put on hold for four more years
or perhaps permanently. No finish was more
dramatic than the battle for third place in the
women’s 1,500-meter run. Jenny Simpson
dominated the race and won by serveral
strides in 4:04.74, followed by Shannon
Rowbury in second in 4:05.39. After that
things seemed to go into slow motion as
Brenda Martinez and Amanda Eccleston ran
stride for stride toward the finish line before
simultaneously diving in desperation to be
the third and final finisher who would be
awarded a spot on the U.S. Olympic team.
The record crowd of 22,944 seemed to
collectively gasp as Martinez and Eccleston
tumbled to the track in near-symmetry. For
a split second, a silence hung over Hayward
Field before fans erupted with applause
in appreciation of what they had just wit-
nessed. For a few moments more, Martinez
and Eccleston lay motionless, as if their final
push to the finish sapped every last ounce
of their energy. Then the scoreboard flashed
the official results from the automatic timing
system, showing Martinez had finished third
in 4:06.16, just three-hundredths of a sec-
ond ahead of Eccleston. Martinez earned
her first Olympic team berth, while Eccleston
was left to contemplate the cruel reality of
fourth place.
