Olympic Trials for T&F are up, starting tomorrow 6/21. Alumni Loretta Blaut will be competing in the high jump and Annette Echikunwoke will be competing in the hammer throw event.

Echikunwoke, if you remember, qualified for the Nigerian Olympic team in 2020 and was disqualified from competition along with most of the Nigerian contingent because the Nigerian athletic federation didn't turn in drug test results and file paperwork in time. I'd love to see her qualify for the US and do well in Paris. She deserves it. She is the current African record holder in the hammer throw.
