TRIALS TALK DAY 10 FT. NIKKI HILTZ: SYDNEY MCLAUGHLIN-LEVRONE BREAKS HER OWN WR; NIKKI HILTZ LEADS 8 SUB-4:00 IN EPIC 1500M FINAL; RAI BENJAMIN FIRES WARNING SHOT; BRYCE HOPPEL GOES 1:42

Last one, fast one?!

The final day of the Olympic Trials was one for the history books. In every. single. event. that took place on the tracks yesterday afternoon, the Olympic Trials meet record was broken. In multiple events, simply qualifying for Team USA meant you had to produce a performance that ranked in the U.S. top-10 of all time.

12.37 in the 100m hurdles, 3:56.75 in the women’s 1500m, and 1:44.12 in the men’s 800m were only good enough for fourth place. The mantra of “iron sharpens iron” normally applies to training groups, but it certainly also applies to American track and field right now. When being top 10 in the world is not a guarantee of being top 3 in the U.S., the choice is simple: you elevate your game or you go home.

The afternoon began with the 5000m final, where last year’s U.S. champ Abdi Nur and this year’s 10,000m champ Grant Fisher treated the fans to an epic duel over the final few laps. It took a sub-4 1600m to break the rest of the field, and in the final strides, Fisher was able to re-pass Nur and get his second title of the week, the first time he’s completed the 10/5 double. Behind them, it was a similar battle for third between collegians Parker Wolfe and Graham Blanks, and it’s still not clear whether Wolfe or Blanks will end up on Team USA. Wolfe needs a few scratches in the world rankings ahead of him, and Blanks has the auto standard.

In the men’s 800m, Bryce Hoppel won his sixth straight U.S. title (counting indoors), but he did it in the fastest time of his career, a 1:42.77. His training partner Hobbs Kessler snagged third and qualifies for both the 800m and 1500m, the first time an American man has done that since 1976. In the women’s 100m hurdles, you could throw a blanket over the whole field with two hurdles remaining, but it was Masai Russell who closed the best and clocked a 12.25, the good for #4 on the world all-time list.

Rai Benjamin did Rai Benjamin things in the men’s 400m hurdles, cruising to a 46.47 world lead and meet record well ahead of the competition. The women’s 1500m was an absolute battle — more on that below. And then we closed the weekend with Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone.

McLaughlin-Levrone is used to being the star of the show, and honestly her biggest competition is usually the shadow of her past self. In the 400m hurdles final she had the benefit of a fast-starting Anna Cockrell on her outside, who stayed even with the Olympic champ for the first three hurdles and kept the pressure on early. But the real difference was that, coming around the final turn, McLaughlin-Levrone didn’t shut it down like she normally does through the rounds, instead powering down the homestretch to an incredible new world record 50.65.

For those keeping score at home, that’s the fifth time McLaughlin-Levrone has lowered the world record. When she started, the world record she was breaking was Dalilah Muhammad’s 52.16 from 2019, and now it’s an incredible 1.51 seconds faster.

Ben Flanagan On Winning the NCAA 10,000m Title, His Mom, Trusting The Process

Ben Flanagan On Winning the NCAA 10,000m Title, His Mom, Trusting The Process

Ben Flanagan was one of the biggest surprises at the 2018 NCAA Championships with his win in the 10,000 meters. In his final race in a Michigan uniform, he unleashed a crazy kick to stun pre-race favorite Vincent Kiprop in the final 200 meters. Flanagan won by just .46 seconds in a career-best of 28:34.53 and became the first Michigan man to win the 10,000m title since 1989.  Flanagan went viral after he was caught on camera saying, "Where's My Mom? Where's My Mom?" immediately after crossing the finish line. He joins the CITIUS MAG Podcast to take us through the months leading up to his race, the 24 hours in Eugene and why he ended up calling out for his mother. I wrote a short piece on Sports Illustrated on Flanagan's win from his mom's perspective. https://www.si.com/more-sports/2018/06/07/ben-flanagan-ncaa-outdoor-track-and-field-championships-10000m-video-mom-reaction Ben shares insight into coping with injuries, visualizing goals and how he came to believe that he could be the NCAA champion. We received a lot of listener questions on Instagram and many of them were answered on the show including: What's your favorite dish made by your mom? What's the first thing that he said to his mom? How has coach Kevin Sullivan contributed and impacted him as a runner? What's his favorite thing to do in Michigan? What were some of his high school times and what was his development like? What was he listening to before the 10,000 meters? What are his post-collegiate training plans? How was Taylor's the night after the race?
